Glamour Celebrates Lea Michele in Paris
The whole world's gone Glee: The teenage musical comedy is back on the air, its poppy cover songs hold the top spots on iTunes' most-downloaded list, and judging from the turnout at Glamour's dinner last night—in honor of the magazine's October cover girl, Lea Michele—the fashion crowd is tuning in every Tuesday. "I watch Glee religiously," said Pucci's Peter Dundas. "Olivia Newton-John appeared in an episode singing 'Physical'—I mean, come on!"
Joining him for dinner were Margherita Missoni, Narciso Rodriguez, Giambattista Valli, Peter Copping, Coco Rocha, and Zac Posen—not to mention the diva herself, Michele, here for her first time in Paris. (She'll be taking in only one show: Stella McCartney. "I do a lot of work with PETA. I'm mostly vegan and I've never eaten red meat, so a brand that is beautiful without harming animals is my idea of fashion-forward," Michele said.)
The new issue marks her first solo major mag cover, and the actress is pretty pleased with the results. "When I saw the photos, I loved that it was so real—there I am, nose and all. It's me," she said. According to Glamour's editor in chief Cindi Leive, that's the whole appeal. "She's a short, spunky, half-Jewish non-blonde," Leive quipped. "Personally, I can relate to that!"
She wasn't the only one finding Michele relatable. "We dressed Lea for the Tony Awards, but we only met tonight," Posen said. "Turns out we have a mutual obsession with Sondheim."
