London and LA were buzzing with style this week as stars turned out for two separate events. Here in blighty Jessie J donned a see through black frock for the Brit Award Nominations.
She was joined by Dionne Bromfield who went for a nude, bodycon dress, and Emeli Sande who channelled the 60s print trend with a patterned dress.
Over in LA the 38th Annual People’s Choice Awards saw Miley Cyrus and Lea Michele don white frocks, while Ashley Greene stood out in a gorge lace and leather dress.
Also opting for black was Vanessa Hudgens while Ginnifer Goodwin made a huge mistake with a pink flared sleeved frock.
See the gallery below for all the pics.
With a star-studded cast list as ‘New Year’s Eve’ it could be difficult for the leading ladies to stand out from the crowd. One way of ensuring they get equal time in the spotlight is to give them one premiere each, which is just what director Garry Mashall did. So while Lea Michele – of Glee fame – walked the red carpet with Ashton Kutcher in Los Angeles, Jessica Biel dazzled the crowds in New York City.
Both Lea and Jessica opted to wear a champagne coloured dress with shimmery detailing by Valentino but while Jessica chose the demure approach, Lea went for a dramatic, plunging neckline that certainly made jaws drop (including Ashton’s). Snaps for bringing out the Old Hollywood glamour, girls!
We can’t decide which one we like better, can you?
If you’re looking for inspiration for that Christmas party outfit then this week’s red carpet events will give you just that.
Yesterday a huge host of A-listers turned up on the New Year’s Eve premiere red carpet in a range of frocks. Lea Michele shone in a stunning off-white long frock- perfect for more formal occasions – while Fergie and Hilary Swank went for embellished short numbers, which we think are perfect for that night out on the tiles.
Over on the W.E premiere red carpet Madonna sported the skinny jeans and blazer, which is a perfect alternative for frock fearing ladies, while Chloe Sevigny showed how to vamp up a Christmas party outfit in a red dress.

Lea Michele never listens to fashion advice.
The Glee actress says she was told by the show’s creator, Ryan Murphy, not to wear black for her first Golden Globe Awards but decided against his tip.
She told InStyle.com: “Ryan Murphy had told me, ‘Don’t wear black. You should never wear black. So my stylist pulled floral, beautiful colours.”
“As I’m walking to the bathroom to try them on, I see the Oscar [de la Renta] dress hanging up in her closet. I said ‘I’m wearing that.’ And I called Ryan, and said ‘Ryan, I’m wearing black!’ ”
However, it seems Ryan wasn’t upset about Lea not taking his advice as he recently praised her fashion choices.
He said: “When I met Lea, she was only sort of interested in clothes- but in the last two years she’s become a red-carpet star. I think what happened is Lea went to an event, and someone said, ‘Oh, you look pretty.’ It was an interesting moment for her.”
Anyone with Glee fever, or indeed simply anyone with an eye for style, can understand why we’ve got such a girl-crush on Lea Michele right now. Despite her unusual looks she’s proved the nay-sayers wrong with her quirky beauty and eye for dramatic fashion – if ever there was a new iconic diva on the block to follow in the footsteps of Barbara Streisland etc, Lea Michele is the woman for the job.
Just earlier today we reported on her evolving sense of style, according to Glee director Ryan Murphy. Ever since we first got Glee fever and saw that first red paparazzi photo of Lea with sultry seventies hair in a floral maxi-dress, a far cry from the preppy style of her character Rachel Berry, we’ve been hooked.
We particularly love her red carpet style – Lea never goes for the understated option at glamorous events, often opting for gowns with bold splashes of colour, huge dramatic fishtail dresses and scarily high heels.
Here is our gallery of our favourite Lea Michele moments, check it out above.
Lea Michele’s new love for fashion and dressing up has come from working on the ‘Glee’ show, according to boss Ryan Murphy.
The creator of Glee says Lea’s blossoming and developing sense of style is down to the confidence she’s gained since playing Rachel Berry on the show. Ryan told American Vogue: “When I met Lea, she was only sort of interested in clothes- but in the last two years she’s become a red-carpet star. I think what happened is Lea went to an event, and someone said, ‘Oh, you look pretty.’ It was an interesting moment for her.”
Lea’s certainly got the red-carpet X Factor, appearing at glitzy events in couture gowns – we always look forward to seeing what the star will be wearing next.
She’s not the only Glee star that has had a bit of an education in fashion since the beginning of the show. Chris Colfer, who plays the impeccably dressed teen Kurt, says that he’s learnt huge amounts from playing his character on the show.
He said: “When Glee started, I had no idea who Marc Jacobs was. In no way was I a fashion person! I did all my shopping at my small-town Target. Maybe if I dressed better I wouldn’t have had such a hard time in school. Now, as Kurt, I get to wear all these amazing things, by people whose names I can’t even pronounce.”
The diminutive and amazing Lea Michele, the actress who plays bossypants wannabe starlet Rachel in “Glee”, has revealed that she was urged in the past to have plastic surgery in order to get work.
Lea, who in the past has been teased and criticised about her au naturel nose, spoke out about the pressure to lose her quirky looks. “I’m five foot three. I don’t look like a lot of other people. I look like I’m 12. Managers told me, ‘Get a nose job. You are not pretty enough’. But I proved them wrong.”
Keep your chin up Lea – when in doubt, just close your eyes and think of Barbara Streisland. We love you!

I have heard that many girls end up with men who remind them of their dads. If it’s true I don’t know – in my experience it’s not so. But Glee actress Lea Michele – who has been in a relationship with actor Theo Stockman for two years – has revealed that she admires men who have similar traits to her father Marc, such as a good sense of humour and caring nature. Hey, as long as it’s the good traits!
Lea who is a trained Broadway actress shot to international fame with the hit US series Glee and has since wowed the world with her stunning gowns and red carpet glamour.
Check out the gallery below and let us know which style you think suits Lea the best.
