'The Voice' coach Gwen Stefani faces wardrobe malfunction during finale duet
'The Voice' Season 26 finale part 2 featured a stirring performance of coach Gwen Stefani and her team's star Sydney Sterlace. However, the moment took an unexpected turn when Gwen faced a series of mishaps, including an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction.
Gwen opted for a crystal-encrusted white and silver skirt and matching crop top with silver Christian Louboutin boots for the show-stopping number with Sydney. Meanwhile, Sydney wore a dazzling sparkly dress. Both Gwen and Sydney looked stunning as they performed a duet to the Cat Stevens' classic, 'Wild World'. While Gwen dazzled in her mini skirt and carried it with grace, an unnoticed detail—a price tag left on the outfit—caused a bit of an awkward moment. The price tag was noticeable on the side of her top which received trolls on the internet. Additionally, the coach faced criticism for opting to wear a skirt shorter than that of the 16-year-old artist, Sydney.

However, she had to pause for a moment and apologize to her live audience.
According to the reports, Gwen and Sydney Sterlace's duet was pre-taped, and the entire crew had to reset the lighting and stage pieces after the NBC show coach's blunder. Gwen, visibly frustrated with her nerves, stepped away briefly to compose herself before returning to deliver the stirring performance.
