For someone whose celebrity is really new, Lea Michele of “Glee” fame handles the red carpet like a seasoned pro. Here she is at Fox’s “Glee” spring premiere soiree held yesterday.

Lea Michele is wearing a printed long wrap dress from the Etro Spring 2010 Ready-To-Wear collection.
Nevermind that the dress isn’t really that appropriate for the red carpet, her shoes don’t really match, and her bangs aren’t that even, Lea Michele brings an air of elegance to this outfit and so far, to everything she has worn at formal events. With this Etro wrap dress, she proves that it’s really the wearer that makes the outfit and not the other way around.
Lea Michele’s hair and makeup is a little too heavy for the dress and I would’ve preferred a slimmer, more elegant shoe with it to counterbalance all that flow-y fabric. But I gotta hand it to her: it’s difficult for anyone without supermodel proportions to pull off a long-sleeved maxi dress, especially one that has extra ruffly fabric attached to the hem. Lea Michele’s petite frame hardly qualifies her as modelesque (she’s only 5’2″ according to her imdb profile), but she carries and models the Etro long wrap dress on the red carpet like nobody’s business.
I adore the print on that Etro wrap dress – so very spring! – although I rather like it on shorter dresses. A print like that on a long-sleeved long dress would overpower me!
