Fringe benefits: Gwen Stefani shows off her new hairstyle while carrying her son Zuma in a Malibu playground
She's often considered to be a style icon, so when Gwen Stefani gets a new haircut the showbiz world takes notice.
The No Doubt singer, 40, debuted the new sleek, bob over the weekend on two separate family days out with husband Gavin Rossdale, 44, and their children Kingston and Zuma.
Gwen complimented the do with an all-black outfit consisting of loose-fitting shirt, pulled in with a belt, leggings and an unusual pair of stilettos as the family visited some friends in Los Angeles on Saturday.
While, on Sunday, they took time out to visit a playground and hit the beach in Malibu, again Gwen was all in black, this time with a patterned skirt and a more casual pair of strappy sandals.
As per usual, the couple's children were just as well dressed as their mother.
Kingston wore a Star Wars T-shirt with a picture of bad guy Darth Vader on the front, with a pair of stripey summer trousers.

While Zuma had a green hooded top over a stripey T-shirt and combat shorts - they played with mother Gwen in a sand pit, before heading down to the beach for more fun in the sand.
Gwen's appearance on the beach didn't help to dispel the widespread rumours that she is expecting the couple's third child.
She was recently pictured wearing a Sea-Band bracelet which is said to be an aid for morning sickness.

And she kept a comforting hand on her stomach while she walked on the beach.

The Hole singer, who has become notorious for her erratic behaviour in recent years, alleged that she'd had an eight month affair with the rocker and Stefani was aware of it.

While Love didn't pinpoint an exact date, Gavin and Gwen have been together for 14 years and married for eight.
Addressing Love's claims on his Facebook page, Rossdale, 44, wrote: 'Gwen and Gavin Rossdale would like to assure their fans that anything that may have occurred prior to their marriage has no impact on their current situation.
'All is well with the Rossdale family.'
Rossdale and Stefani's marriage was previously rocked in 2004 when it emerged he was the biological father of model Daisy Lowe, now 21, after a brief fling with her mother in the late Eighties.
