Lea Michele's Style: Boring to Fantabulous on the Red Carpet!
Glee phenom Lea Michele has transformed from unexciting to a couture fashionista in less than two years! -Evette Brown, BettyConfidential.com
In high school, members of the Glee club weren't popular. Now, we can't get enough of their melodies and pop covers! When Glee hit our TV screens in early 2009, it was an instant hit. Sitting at the top of the ratings charts for weeks threw the dynamic cast into the spotlight. Adorable brunette Lea Michele became a breakout star. We fell in love with Rachel Berry and her perfect soprano week after week. After winning the 2009 Satellite Award for Best Actress in a Series, Comedy or Musical and a Screen Actors Guild Award, she became a permanent fixture at all the major award events. Lea Michele is burning up red carpets everywhere. Named to People Magazine's Best Dressed List for 2010 and signed on as an ASOS spokesmodel, she has evolved from a simple songstress into a musical fashionista.
Here's a sneak peak at how her style has evolved over the past two years.
2009
The first official Glee screening gives the world a glimpse at Lea Michele and the rest of her co-stars. We get a small peak at her potential to be on the best dressed list with this embroidered bodice and flowing hem.
Twilight: New Moon was the most anticipated movie of 2009. Lea was present at the film's premiere. We can see a hint of the edge in her personality with the black leather mini and classic black pumps with a modern flower twist. It's just a shame that her shoes are too big.
Welcome to the spotlight Lea! In her first red-carpet appearance at the Fox All Star Party, she flaunts her new-found fashion chops in an Isaac Mizrahi number.
2010
She might be a petite five-foot-two, but ASOS picked her to model for their ads.
Before belting out "Don't Rain on my Parade," Lea hit the 2010 Tony Awards red carpet, dazzling everyone in a marigold yellow Zac Posen out of her fashion arsenal. Lea was a fashion goddess in the making with a perfect marigold yellow against her tanned complexion.
That night Lea was a winner on the red carpet and at the 2010 Screen Actors Guild Awards. She took home two awards: Best Cast and Best Dressed. Lea should team up with designer Malandrino often. The emerald color is to die for.

She was named one of Time's 100 Most Influential People in 2010. That calls for glamour, jewels, and elegance. Lea delivers in this vintage Oscar de la Renta gown and Christian Louboutin stilettos.
2011
At the 2011 Golden Globes, Lea daringly paired salmon and cascading ruffles in another Oscar de la Renta gown. She nailed the red carpet.
She might be only 24, but Lea has fashion wisdom way beyond her years. In this slinky Emilio Pucci dress with laced inseams at the 2011 Grammy Awards, she stole all of the attention from everyone else.
On the 2011 SAG Awards red carpet, Lea elevated sexy to the next level with this plunging neckline. Pairing Sergio Rossi shoes with a (you guessed it) Oscar de la Renta number, sultry is only one of many words that can describe her.
Glee goes 3D and Lea does glam in a lace Marchesa dress and elegant Casadei pumps. Pulling her flowing tresses into a sleek ponytail completes her look. Looking at her style evolution over the past two years, there is no doubt that Lea Michele will be on plenty more best dressed lists in the future.
