Bummer. The dress Gwen Stefani wore on the cover of No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom, the band's 1995 breakthough LP, was stolen from the Orange County Fullerton Museum where it was on temporary display.
The red vinyl dress was reported stolen on Tuesday where it was a part of the exhibit "The Orange Groove: Orange County's Rock n' Roll History," which runs through May 22. According to a statement released by the band's label, the dress was likely stolen between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. PT on Tuesday.
Stefani's dress was a central item in the exhibit, which celebrates the musical legacy of the O.C. and coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Fender Stratocaster guitar, which was created in Fullerton. Other No Doubt items in the collection are band photos, instruments and awards, including their 2003 Grammy for "Underneath It All" and 1997 MTV Video Music Award for "Don't Speak."
Orange Groove curator Jim Washburn said of the thieves: "It's awfully selfish, almost sociopathic, to think that your interest in the band matters more than anyone else who would want to see it."
