From her People’s Choice victory to her sultry style at the Golden Globes, Lea Michele’s been a red carpet knockout so far this season. But what will she do next?
We tapped celebrity makeup artist Melanie Inglessis to find out. Inglessis, who also works with Olivia Wilde, Mia Wasikowska and Jaime King, has been doing Lea’s makeup since they met at a Glee event three years ago. “We went really natural and beautiful then.”
So we asked her to share Lea’s favorite look—smoky eyes or hot lips?—the secret to looking great on the red carpet and what style the Glee star might rock this weekend at the SAG Awards…
How do you decide what look Lea is going to rock … Read the rest

Lea Michele is moving from a locker to a much bigger closet. She’s the star of the new Candie’s ad campaign, dubbed “Hanging at Home,” shot at a private mansion in Beverly Hills, Calif. The images show her poolside, in the kitchen, in a bed with satin sheets and in a walk-in closet, wearing a new outfit and pair of shoes in each one.
The 25-year-old star of “Glee” is following in the high-heel footprints of former brand spokeswomen Britney Spears and Fergie, among others. Michele says she particularly liked Spears’ old ads. “I think they’re fun and flirty and show off her body great.”

One week ago it was revealed that Lea Michele and Chris Colfer would be returning for the fourth season of Glee, despite their characters graduating from McKinley at the end of this year. I already brought you Insider.com’s exclusive chat with Chris and now it’s Lea’s time to shine.

Since day one, her performance as Rachel “I’m A Star” Berry has been one of the show’s most consistently ferocious, earning Lea an Emmy nomination, two Golden Globe nods and a massive army of fans. I caught up with the actress right after it was revealed that she would be back next season, so in addition to getting the dish on Rachel’s return, I found out what to expect from … Read the rest

Don’t you just love fashion spotting while watching awards shows? I absolutely adore every opportunity to channel my inner Joan Rivers (minus the plastic surgery). Last night’s People’s Choice Awards at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles had its fair share of glammed up leading ladies, but I couldn’t take my eyes off of Glee’s own Lea Michele. The actress, who snagged the award for Favorite TV Comedy Actress, beating out Tina Fey, co-star Jane Lynch, Kaley Cuoco, and Courteney Cox, looked AMAZING.

Her white Marchesa gown was so not what I expected, with beautiful draping and so many intricate layers. It fit her like a dream! Accented by a strappy pair of Jimmy Choo shoes and jewelry from … Read the rest

We know that the “Glee” spinoff is officially dead — but not only will Lea Michele be back for Season 4, Cory Monteith confirmed to Zap2it that he’ll be back after Finn Hudson graduates too. “There’s no way I can’t graduate. I’m, like, 30 next year,” he cracks.

Seriously, though, Monteith says that he welcomes the big changes coming to “Glee” next season.

“Season 4 is going to be a whole different show. It’s going to be something a lot different than what people saw. It’s still very much the same show, the same formula that I think has found viewership, it’s just going to be a little bit of a shakeup. Ryan and the creators have come up with … Read the rest
