Claim to fame
This petite powerhouse has been on stage since the age of nine when she landed a role in Les Miserable on Broadway. By age fourteen, Michele was selected to workshop a daring new musical by Steven Sater and Duncan Sheik about teen sexuality and in 2006 she became most well known for originating the role of Wendla in the Tony Award winning Spring Awakening opposite Jonathan Groff. That year Michele received a Drama Desk Award nomination for her role.
Upcoming
This fall Lea Michele can be seen bringing her acting and singing talent to the hit Fox show Glee. The show, which begins September 9th, depicts the clique dynamics of high school and follows a ragtag group of musical theater junkies attempting to save their dying glee club. Michele takes the lovable role of bullied high schooler and breakout glee club star Rachel Berry. The pilot, which aired this past May, received rave reviews from both critics and audiences. 
Why we love her
She may be small but Lea Michele wins big style points. Her classic elegance with a youthful edge shows off her petite frame perfectly. Her low necklines or leg baring hems elongate the body while her tailored waistlines create definition. Accessories in proportion to the body create a chic, modern style.
We’re betting that this petite starlet is the next big thing!
