Gwen Stefaniarrived at the2020 Grammy Awardswith longtime boyfriendBlake Sheltonwearing a strapless, shell-encrusted Dolce & Gabbana mini-dress, and the playful couple couldn’t help but crack a joke about the unique ensemble.
Speaking withRyan Seacrestduring theE! Newsred carpet pre-show, the 43-year-old country star quipped, “I can hear the ocean in there.”
Stefani — who wore her long blonde hair in a sleek, straight style and accessorized her look with white over-the-knee Le Silla boots — responded with a pun, “Shell-ton, do you get it?”
“Basically Blake has been gathering shells for the last four years since we met…[the designers] did use some of the shells that blake collected for me over the years,” the pop star, 50, joked.
A bit confused, Seacrest asked Shelton and Stefani if they were kidding, to which the “God’s Country” singer responded, “Of course, man,” before adding: “Actually some of these still have creatures in them, we didn’t have time to clean them all out perfectly.”
Shelton and Stefani are set to perform their latest duet, “Nobody But You,” which is featured on Shelton’s latest albumFully Loaded: God’s Country, during the Grammys show.
