Lea Michele’s See-Through Robe/Gown

This past Saturday night Glamour magazine hosted a party for their October covergirl, Lea Michele in Paris. As the guest of honor, Lea Michele knew all eyes would be on her, and they definitely were! The fashion community is buzzing about her gown…or should I say half gown/half robe? The Glee star wore a floor-length trench gown from the Victoria Beckham Autumn/Winter 2010 collection.

Below Lea Michele is pictured with designer Zac Posen.  

In my opinion I don’t think this was the right choice of gown for her body-type. Lea Michele is short and I feel like the gown is drowning her tiny frame. This gown also looks like lingerie on her. It looks as though this is the robe she wore while getting her hair and makeup done.

Below is a model wearing the gown on the runway.

The gown fits her body snug, showing off her curves. She also has the sleeves cuffed and the dress open to show off her long legs. Perhaps Lea Michele should have gone for a look more like this?

Do you think this gown was the right choice for Lea Michele? Is it ballroom-chic or bathroom-chic? What should she have worn instead?

Let us know your thoughts!
