Gwen Stefani can still rock her classic ‘90s pieces — no doubt about it!

In her upcoming "Somebody Else's" music video, which she previewed on HSN on Tuesday, Nov. 11, the “Don’t Speak” singer, 55, dusted off a top she’s had in her closet for a long time — since the early days of No Doubt, to be exact.

In the teaser clip for the track, the singer pulled out the Tragic Kingdom-era Vivienne Westwood gem that she rocked during some of No Doubt’s most iconic moments and styled it with a modern Stefani twist.

The white corset — which the rocker first wore nearly three decades ago in the "Spiderwebs" music video and her Late Night with David Letterman performance of “Just a Girl” — features a large rose detail, making it the perfect vintage piece to keep her floral, Bouquet-inspired style streak going.

For her 1996 “Spiderwebs” look, the No Doubt frontwoman styled the structured top in a quintessential ‘90s Stefani ensemble, teaming it with tartan pants, a chunky belt and — of course — a dark lip.

She also opted for tartan to throw out her exes' stuff in “Somebody Else's” (a song about a past relationship the singer is glad to have escaped), rocking a yellow blazer that, coupled with her blonde tresses, evokes another ‘90s style icon: Cher from Clueless.

She paired the top with another of her closet staples from the decade and early 2000s: Adidas track pants.

For glam, the “Hella Good” singer went for the opposite of her No Doubt-era makeup (thin brows and a bold red lip), opting instead for a classic modern-Stefani look: a glowy glam with a glossy, light pink pout.

Stefani, who has worn Vivienne Westwood pieces in other key career moments like her “What You Waiting For?” music video, is a longtime fan of the late designer.

However, when Stefani first purchased the “Spiderwebs” corset, she had no clue who Westwood was. She stumbled across the floral top while shopping at Los Angeles’ Melrose Trading Post, she revealed in a 2013 interview with Vogue.

“I think the funniest story is ‘Just a Girl’ had come out and we were gonna be doing our next video for ‘Spiderwebs.’ I didn't have a stylist or a makeup artist,” she recalled. “It was nothing. It was just, you're on your own.”

“So I was like, 'Oh, I really wanna wear plaid punker pants.' I was really excited about it. So I went to Melrose to try to find a top and I stumbled upon this store that had all these amazing corsets,” she told the magazine. “They were all lined up on the wall. They looked like little works of art. I was like, ‘Oh my God, that's my dream if I could get one of those.’ ”

So, Stefani saved up her money and bought it for $800 — a big sum for her at the time, she admitted. “But I was like, I don't care. It's my video. It's my one chance, can we get it?” she told Vogue, adding that she “had no idea” the corset was a Vivienne Westwood piece when she snagged it.

“I didn't even know who she was,” the singer continued. “I was drawn to her without even knowing the history. And I just got so lucky to be eventually able to meet Vivienne Westwood and have her make a dress for me.”

Added Stefani: “I feel so connected to her, and I feel like when I wear her, it fits me so well and it's everything that I love.”

"Somebody Else's" is the fifth single from Stefani's new album, Bouquet, out on Friday, Nov. 15.
