Clarkson and Stefani then discussed another dress that Stefani wore to the Met Ball in May of that year.

The dress was made by Vera Wang, and Stefani was quick to shower the 73-year-old designer with praise.

“She’s just so talented,” Stefani said. “Vera has been doing this for so long, so it was just incredible to be able to work with her.”

The No Doubt star said Vera’s original sketch looked almost identical to the finished product and she was blown away to see the dress really come to life.
