Lea Michele: Style Evolution (PHOTOS)

HuffPost Social Reading

In 2006, actress Lea Michele was relatively unknown — at least off of Broadway. She was the star of the hit musical Spring Awakening, long before she was the star of one of the biggest shows on T.V. today. In other words, Lea was a true "Gleek" long before it was cool to be.

Lea turns 25 today and already she's had a whirlwind of a career, both on stage and off. Along the way, she's also gained fame as a sartorial star. Her look is a far cry from the buttoned up, cardigan-wearing Rachel Barry she plays on Glee. Lea's grown into a true Hollywood glamour girl, with some of the world's most coveted designers itching to dress her for the next Emmys, Golden Globes or Grammy's. Oh, and did we mention she's on the September cover of Harper's Bazaar?

We'd like to send a Birthday shout-out to our favorite Glee girl and take a look back at some of her most fabulous attire, on every red carpet from Broadway to Tinseltown.

I love earth shattering news like this.

Lea Michele is gorgeous and has an amazing voice. She was gifted with a voice that would blow anyone away. She can do any Barbra song and do it justice unlike some of these artists these days who have no talent and still make it. Lea has made it this far because she is nothing but pure talent. Not only is her singing beautiful but Lea has a fantastic acting skills as well. For those of you who don't know who she is, I believe you will very soon. Lea has many great things coming her way, Glee is just one of them. May it be coming from Broadway again or from more movies, TV shows or even her own album. Just watch. Lea is someone who is going to take Hollywood by storm.

My guess is that you've never heard her sing and are judging her simply because of the way she looks and show she's on. Lea is a beautiful singer and I've had the pleasure of seeing her on Broadway. Please actually listen to her sing before making assumptions, because i'd be very worried about your hearing otherwise.

Who cares if she's naked. That would be no worse than dressing like a street-walker. Yes, I'm old. You wait and you'll see the end of this nation. J.R.Stallworth

I have a feeling that the end of this nation will be the result of something far more significant than fashion.

While she's very talented actress, she's also a very self centered egotist with a diva complex...............

Aren't they all???

God forbid a woman be confident and says what she wants. Please this stuff is so exaggerated it is not even funny.
