Gwen Stefani has amazing style. I used to really love Courtney Love, and anything she wore I loved. Or Chloe Sevigny, because I really love that sort of classic look, and I like being girly and flowery, and wearing little D&G dresses. I wear hats a lot, too. I think it goes back to when I was a bit grungy and was a skater girl for a bit.

In this remark, Goulding frames her fashion sense as an evolving collage of influences rather than a fixed “signature.” By citing Gwen Stefani, Courtney Love, and Chloë Sevigny—figures associated with distinct, recognizable aesthetics—she maps a spectrum from punk/grunge irreverence to a more polished, “classic” femininity. The mention of D&G dresses and hats signals a playful embrace of overtly styled, even costume-like elements, while the “skater girl” past explains the lingering edge beneath the girly surface. The quote ultimately treats style as autobiography: clothing becomes a way to reconcile past identities with present tastes, blending toughness and softness into a coherent personal look.
