Lea Michele's Style Evolution

When Lea Michele first won our hearts, she did so as the plucky teenager, Rachel Berry, on Glee. But, while she embodied Rachel and her conservative, prep-school style looks perfectly, it quickly became clear that in real life, the actress erred more on the side of edgy than preppy (and we’re not just talking about her five tattoos that, despite their subtleness, would’ve made a young Rachel Berry recoil). In the many years that Lea has graced red carpets, she’s done so with a perfect record of best-dressed looks, many featuring low necklines, high hemlines, and strategic cutouts. In honor of her 30th birthday, we took a stroll down fashion-memory lane and picked out some of our all-time favorite Lea looks.
