Lea Michele in NYC

Posted on Mar 7, 2013 in Celebrity

Unlike the vast majority of her cohorts, Lea Michele is a celebrity who LOVES to be photographed as she walks down the street.

Lea Michele arrives in NYC.

Barneys New York Co-Op Haiti Boot

Look at her. She’s thrilled. We’re never going to see her giving a finger to the camera or throwing a coat over her head. The girl just can’t help it. She was born to find the light, bless her.

Oh. Right. Clothes. Well, they both look really cute. Corey never seemed to get anywhere near the camera because Lea hogged every shot, but he looks uncharacteristically sharp all the way back there in the shadows, where B-Listers dwell.

OMG. That first shot. I know it was candid, and we all have pictures that don’t flatter us, but she looks like a wax model or a drag queen version of herself. It’s like a future picture of the plastic surgery enhanced her that will be in 30 years.

  All those times on PR when Michael Kors referenced his crazy aunts this is exactly the vision I had.

    She has Pez head in that first shot. I hope she doesn’t go the way of David Lee Roth and start channeling Waylon Flowers’ Madame.

  “Heeeeeyyyyyyyyy, Girl!” It’s practically a banshee cry.

  my first thought was…”is there a new Batman movie being cast? Will there be a female Joker this time?” (those lips, that manical camera grabbing smile)

Love those booties, hate the shoulder pads.

I want to like her because she is a genuinely talented person, but she is so damn irritating in a way that the Rihannas and Taylors of the world will never be.
- lexilexi
  
  I think Rihanna and Taylor ARE irritating.
  - Sobaika
    
    Sure, but I can’t tune it out with Lea Michele. Something about her makes me stabby.
  - ChiliP
    
    I find Rihanna extremely irritating, and not because of her bf. The internet tells me I should be annoyed by Lea, but I just can’t get myself to hate on her. I find it somewhat oddly refreshing to see a celebrity so openly adore being in the spotlight, as opposed to the ones who glare at the cameras while wearing extremely attention-seeking outfits. Now if she could just learn to be a little less “it’s time to SMIZE” on the red carpet…
    - VioletFem
      
      I think that is what I appreciate about her as well, plus she is really truly talented. I get why people don’t like her but I she is not on my irrational celebrity hate list.
    - Elizabetta1022
      
      Imagine Lea and Kristen Stewart at the same celebrity function, talking about what it means to be famous. Wouldn’t it be a gas to hear that conversation (and witness the extreme eye-rolling that would ensue from Kristen’s side of the table). They are on the opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to pure, open enjoyment of the limelight. (Lea’s a moth. Kristen is…a bat? I just asked my 10-year-old, who is home sick today, for the name of an appropriate animal and he said, “Cave Salamander.”)

      i think every celebrity must have, at heart, at least a dash of love for the limelight. elsewise, how would they end up there?
      - nancylee61
        
        Yes, and then so many of them pretend to hate it! I remember Julia Roberts going on and on about how much she hates the limelight. She has been in my rational celebrity hate list since then. If you don’t want the limelight, woman, you should have become a teacher or a store clerk.
- SassieCassy
  
  because she is such a try hard. the thirst is strong with this one.

A few more pictures of her and my irrational dislike of Anne Hathaway will be long forgotten.

great shoes!
- Meg0GayGuys6
  
  I just looked to see if they make them in my size! Would def spend $139 on that pair!
Annabelle Archer

Girl, those are not your sunglasses.

I can never tell where Rachel Berry ends and Lea Michele begins.
VioletFem

This whole post is hilarious.
Sara__B

I’d much rather look at Corey.
http://twitter.com/thehilariest The Hilariest

She looks good, but she bugs me like no other. Oh – and that is SO not her lipstick. Wrong shade for her coloring.
- kschwarting
  
  Should’ve read down–I posted the same thing. It’s really glaring how NOT her color it is.
3boysful

Are the leather arm-warmers sleeves attached to the sweater or separate?
http://twitter.com/FlaviaGPantoja Flavia Pantoja

I just can’t. Even when she’s not wearing a napkin as a dress, I just can’t. it’s not reasonable, I know, but I just decided that today is the day I am meant to be unreasonable. There, I said it.
- Lori
  
  Personally, I think it’s totally reasonable. Girl is obnoxious as all get out. Also, her lipstick is hideous.
Scott Isaacs

Oh. My. GOD. That lipstick. My eyes. THEY BURN!!!

I’m getting visions of Janice…you know, the Electric Mayhem guitarist. Like, fershurreally.

Oh, right. The clothes. For a grey ensemble, it’s a lot of look. But I do like it. I’m not so sure about the black fingernails…too much monochrome?

  What? I can’t hear you over Lea’s lipstick…
http://twitter.com/kendallbrunson SassyMcFrench

I can’t stand her, but damn I wish I looked that good walking down the street!
http://twitter.com/KathrynTewson Kathryn Tewson

That first picture looks like a real-life Terry Richardson shot.

I need to see the grey and black houndstooth coat over her arm. Gimme!
- conniemd
  
  My feelings exactly. it looked really interesting and I wanted to see what it looked like.
http://twitter.com/TheRealAndra Andra

J’adore that lipstick! Perfect pop of color for this drab time of year.
joancarol

I think these pictures tell a story.
In the first picture, she is running into a former Spring Awakenings cast mate that she had a quick and dirty with.
In the second picture, she is feeling some shame while remembering just what they did together.
In the third picture,she is smiling to herself remembering how magnificent she was.
In the fourth picture, she is starting to walk away quickly before Corey gets wind of the vibes.
And in the last picture,she’s thinking, damn, that was HOT!
http://twitter.com/lisledanielle Danielle Lisle

She makes my eyes twitch.
kschwarting

Girl, that is not your lip color.
http://twitter.com/kbshee kbshee

Anybody know who makes that houndstooth coat/jacket/whatever?
- MilaXX
  
  Try Asos
Alyssa

Of course Lea likes being photographed walking down the street. I just can’t with this one. She grates my nerves.
MilaXX

LOL, she really can’t help it can she?
ErmengardeGreen

Barneys makes a Haiti boot?
- http://hearmeintheharmony.wordpress.com/ Melanie
  
  Right? And at $350 (regular price; I see it’s on sale now).
Monday1900

I’d like to see the houndstooth coat she’s carrying–has potential. She actually looks kind of cute here, usually she grates on me something awful.
Indovina

Okay, so, yes, she does look cute and I like the outfit, in spite/because the first picture looks a little girl on the streets… of Romulus.

Also, since it seems to be relevant, I don’t find her irritating. Mainly because I don’t, well, find her. The extent of my exposure to her is here, basically.
lrhg

She’s on my irrational hate list but she looks cute here. Well done girl.
butterflysunita

Lea, first of all your makeup is terrible. Secondly, it snowed here today in NYC. Even if you are walking ten feet to your heated car, that outfit makes no sense. That is why the guy in the background in the first photo is staring at you in puzzlement.
- Emily Rose
  
  There’s barely any snow though? Looking out my window I see like three people wearing heels.
  - sk8tfan
    
    She irritates me but she looks cute, lipstick notwithstanding. I was glad to see she was covered up and had a coat, which means she’s one of the few celebrities we’ve seen here the last week willing to acknowledge the reality that it’s cold right now!

“Corey never seemed to get anywhere near the camera because Lea hogged every shot, but he looks uncharacteristically sharp all the way back there in the shadows, where B-Listers dwell.”

I love you, Tom, for being you. Not many people would deliver fashion/celebrity commentary while making a Lord of the Rings joke.
- Kristin McNamara
  
  Wait… that was a LOTR joke? How? Seemed pretty literal to me haha
  - Pants_are_a_must
    
    It’s a riff on the last two lines of the One Ring poem.
    - Kristin McNamara
      
      Oh! Good catch! You are evidently much more up on your LOTR trivia than me!
GTrain

LOVE that shoe
leave_Blake_alone

I kind of love her now, seeing how happy she is like this. She really was born to be a star!

That first shot just screams LIZA!!!!!!!!!

…Haiti boot? Icky name.
Janet B

I rarely see Corey wear anything but a suit. He looks sharp.
http://twitter.com/Nancer Nancer

I get so tired of the haters! I think she looks cute, and if she is really enjoying the spotlight, good for her! I am so tired of celebrities who get annoyed once they have the attention that they have tried so hard to achieve. Oh, sorry, they are “artists!” What a bunch of hooey.

“Stop it I love it”
nannypoo

I can’t stand her, but I do give her credit for her openness about being desperate for attention.
http://twitter.com/PhDKnitter marlie

She looks so much better when she’s not trying too hard and vamping on the red carpet. She’s still certainly styled to within an inch of her life, but she doesn’t look like she’s BEGGING for the attention.
libraangel

Lea likes being photographed – we just don’t want to see her.
http://twitter.com/#!/Space_Kitty Space Kitty

Not a fan of that lip color, but her clothes are cute.
http://frankbettecenter.org/ sleah_in_norcal

she’s definitely channeling liza in that first shot! i love seeing a celebrity who’s enjoying the life. it makes me roll my eyes the way she flaunts everything she’s got so often (read a recent magazine interview, possibly here on Tlo, where she was actually having a conversation with her breasts!), but at least she’s no phony snob. with lea, it’s what you see is what you get.

How many coats does she NEED?
snarkykitten

if she dressed like this more often, I’d hate her less

  this is how she usually does dress.
http://twitter.com/bueller806 Michelle

I don’t think she necessarily likes being photographed, she just doesn’t want to look like an unhappy, ungrateful bitch so she pastes on a smile whenever a lens is shoved in her face.
Nice little outfit Lea’s got on but Cory looks particularly snazzy. That jacket with that red sweater is a great combo.
kathrineb

I think this is good, but I get a bit sad sometimes when young girls wear only grey and black.
- http://twitter.com/1c2a3p albert
  
  The day before she had a pretty bright red sweater.
  - kathrineb
    
    ah OK fair enough then
kikisayshi

Totally didn’t notice poor Corey until you mentioned it. She looks cute when her stuff isn’t all in your face.
http://twitter.com/1c2a3p albert

If she did ignore the paps I am sure you would whine about her doing that too.
- pookiesmom
  
  Um, in what way were they whining about it? They commented on an obvious fact. How is that whining?

I love the jacket she has draped over her arm, and her shoes are super cute.

This post just seems mean for the sake of being mean. If Lea Michele doesn’t smile, she’s a diva and if she does smile, she’s a diva.
BigWhiteGrannyPanties

I think she looks cute and dressed for the weather and I like her red lipstick against her white teeth. And for chrissakes, she’s smiling. At least it’s not Gwynneth Paltrow, looking all pinched and “I’m-too-good-to-be-here” dressed in some f-ing Stella McCartney thing.
