Lea Michele bares it all: the Glee rumors, what it was like to strip down on stage, and why she’s proud to be a diva. Check out these exclusive behind-the-scenes photos from her cover shoot with Norman Jean Roy. For more of our interview with the star, pick up the December issue of Allure, on newsstands November 22.

Michele is confident in her unconventional beauty. “Have I been asked to change anything? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. When I was 15, my mother and I went to meet a manager who said, ‘You have to get a nose job in order for me to work with you,’” Michele tells us. “My mother would say to me, ‘Barbra Streisand never got a nose job. You’re not getting a nose job.’ And this was before I really even knew who Barbra was. I just knew that she was, like, the messiah for girls like me.”
Michele has heard the stories of her diva-like behavior. At a Time magazine party, when a photographer asked who she was, she reportedly replied, “Sarah Palin”—a remark that was taken to be a snotty “Don’t you know who I am?” “I was being silly,” Michele says. “But anyway, that’s a huge thing I learned…. Not everybody knows you and has the same sense of humor. At the same time, if I couldn’t be myself, I’d lose my mind.”
“I came from the theater world, where the word ‘diva’ was awesome,” she continues. “But it’s different in Los Angeles. And this all happened to me so quickly. But I came to L.A., and the first audition I went on was for Glee. And I was on the show two months later and had a very different life.” Here, Michele poses in a lace-and-silk-satin bra by Agent Provocateur and Norma Kamali briefs.
Like many young actresses in the spotlight, Michele became the subject of eating-disorder rumors when she suddenly looked very thin during the summer of 2010. Not so, she says—the weight loss was due to a surgery she had because of an infection in her jaw. “I’m half Italian,” says the actress. “I can eat some bitches under the table.” Polyamide elastane bra by Stella McCartney.

How to achieve Lea Michele’s look- Celebrity Beauty Fashion Trend: Winged Eyeliner
Here are a few tips:
1.) Fill in your brows, no sexy eye is complete without a nice thick brow
2.) Find a good liquid or cream liner. Use a small pointed brush or a pointed eyeliner pencil or pen. Also, by using a black eyeshadow to start the wing off before using the eyeliner. Starting your liner at the corner of the eyelid extending it outward to the corner of your eye ending it with a wing out movement. Then go back over the eyeshadow with a liquid eyeliner to seal in the look.
3.) Dramatic eyes call for a nude lip. Keep it classy and sassy. Keeping lips simple and putting focus only on the eyes not the mouth.
4.) Curling large sections of your hair with a small barrel curling iron, then comb lightly comb the curls out and spray with a light hairspray. To avoid frizzy curls finish off the look with some shine serum or shine spray of your choice.
As anyone who’s ever permanently “borrowed” a pair of ankle boots from her sister can attest, there’s no better partner-in-wardrobe-crime and closet collaborator than a sister–and this year, Vogue‘s best dressed list honors the stylish duos who share DNA with a list that consists strictly of sister acts.
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen top the list, a choice that makes me giddy but I’m sure will cause a few raised eyebrows. The rest of the chic siblings?
- Dakota and Elle Fanning
- Claire, Virginie, Jenna and Prisca Courtin-Clarins (you probably haven’t heard of them yet, but you soon will–they are all over the Paris fashion scene and dressed to kill!)
- Ruby and Lily Aldridge
- Poppy and Cara Delevigne
- Bianca and Coco Brandolini
- Beyoncé and Solange Knowles
- Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon
- Pippa and Kate Middleton
- Kate and Rooney Mara
Surprise, surprise, there’s not a Kardashian in sight! I also thought Sienna and Savannah Miller would make the list, but otherwise I think their choices are pretty spot-on. What do you ladies think? Check out all of the photos at Vogue.com, then tell us…could you and your sister land on a list like this? Are you guys known for being super-stylish siblings? Discuss!Read More Vogue…..

The Victoria’s Secret model reveals her extreme diet before she hits the runway; no solid food and twice-a-day workouts!
No solid food, twice-a-day workouts and no water?!
Yep- welcome the life of one Victoria’s Secret model and her extreme, pre-runway routine.
Adriana Lima – a veteran Angel and mother of a 1-year-old – reveals in a new interview with The Telegraph exactly how she gets her smokin’ bod runway-ready.
Two months before the annual VS show, the model hits the gym not once but twice a day – doing everything from jumping rope to boxing to keep her trademark curves in top form.
And you know how you’re supposed to drink 8 glasses of water a day? Well, this supermodel guzzles a GALLON a day when she’s training hard.
But 12 hours before the big show- it’s no agua at all. None.
Lima tells the paper: “No liquids at all so you dry out, sometimes you can lose up to eight pounds just from that.”
So what does she eat? Salads, maybe? Grilled fish? Nope – try no solid foods for nine days pre-strut!
Instead, Lima drinks protein shakes made with powdered eggs. Yummy.
So, is all that sacrifice really worth it? According to this model, absolutely.
She says: “Actually, the Victoria’s Secret show is the highlight of my life. Becoming an Angel, once I achieved that, it was a dream-come-true for me.”
Well, Adriana, props for living the dream – and for admitting it’s not easy looking that perfect!
