Yay or Nay: Lea Michele's Sheer Dress and Corset

Posted by Alexandra C. | Monday October 22, 2012105 comments

Lea Michele is a bonafide hottie. Not only is she a hottie but she's talented and she seems like (I am basing this on pure speculation) a genuinely nice person. So why on Earth she felt she had to wear this outfit and be this tanned, I really don't know. Are you compensating for something Lea? 

Lea walked the red carpet at the Elle Women in Hollywood event in a one piece lace body suit corset type thing with a sheer striped maxi dress over top. Adding to the effect was an overtan and nude lips combo.

I guess we can go the 'avant garde' route here and say she was dressing the part for the Elle Women in Hollywood event but, Lea, you still have some explaining to do (re: tan). 

I'm just so confused about this outfit. If you're going to go with a corset body suit, does it make sense to layer it with a sheer long sleeve, floor length and high neckline dress? It's a lot and not enough skin all at the same time. At least the shoes, though basic, are cute.

I think that what I take most issue with here is the makeup. She seems overly bronzed and contoured to me. The eyes are pretty but that lipstick is not doing it for me. Way too pale! 

What do you think of this outfit and makeup? Is it a yay or a nay? Leave your vote down below by October 28th and you could win!

Nay - not a big fan of this.
She has great legs etc - but still not doing it for me! It could be a bit longer at least! :)

Nay! It might be a good look if the sheer overlay was shorter and she had color on her lips.. Maybe something different with the hair too.

Yay! It's a great look. She has the confidence to pull it off. Yes, she
had to be tanned to pull it off, if she wasn't she skin would "glow"
under the sheer coverlette. This isn't two pieces: a bodysuit and a long
sleeve dress, this is an Outfit. Win. Way to go Lea!
