No Doubt superstar Gwen Stefani is gearing up to release her third solo album and she has revealed that there's one person she really wants to collaborate with. 

Speaking about her dream duet, the beauty explained that she has been trying to convince Coldplay's Chris Martin into the studio with her for a decade and so far he hasn't taken her up on the offer:

"I would love to work with Chris Martin. I've tried to get him to work with me for 10 years, so maybe he'll do it this time."

Stefani, meanwhile, recently told O, The Oprah Magazine that she is inspired by her teenage self and refers back to her old passions for fashion influences even now: 

"My eighth-grade self. In 1982, I was into ska music, James Dean, and the Latino culture in my Southern California neighbourhood. As a result, I tried to dress outside the box, different from what the other kids were wearing, with a laid-back vibe - and big accessories. More than 30 years later, that's still my look."
