Lea Michele and The Glee women at the SAGs, who was the most overdressed?


Remember that ridiculous sequin peek-a-boo Marchesa that Lea Michele wore to the Golden Globes? She looked like an overdressed fool, and she preened like up-and-comer clawing her way up so frantically that all she does is lose ground. While she was ever-so-slightly more demure at last night’s SAGs, Lea still overdid it and brought the LOLs. She wore this Versace in shades of gray with a nearly waist high leg slit that she kept pointing her foot out of for effect. The chest featured a structural bra in which one of her boobs was highlighted with a swirl pattern and the other led up to a single shoulder strap. It made her look lopsided, but it might have worked on a more likable actress. On Lea “pose hard” Michele, everything just reeks of entitlement and desperation. She can ruin the best dress.

Dianna Agron never gets her fashion quite right, but her attitude is a breath of fresh air compared to Lea’s. Dianna was in fuschia ruffled Carolina Herrera which featured a deep v-neck draped neckline and a subtle ribbon belt. I thought it was a lovely dress but a little understated for a big awards ceremony. Still, she gets points for not going as big, or as fug as some of her costars. I loved her delicate braided hair, perfect peach makeup and gorgeous diamond accessories.

Amber Riley was so hot in red at the Globes, but she really had a fashion misstep here in a black and pink lace Badgley Mischka dress featuring a giant bow across the front. What was she thinking? Does she have only bad fashion enablers around her? She paired it with a headband and those ankle strap heels which are so popular lately. The overall look was just fug.

Jayma Mays stunned in sequin cap sleeve formfitting Reem Acra. It was an amazing dress and the only distracting detail was a v-shaped lace cutout in back. She sometimes dresses too girly and precious but she really killed it last night.

Jenna Ushkowitz left a lot to be desired in this bizarre rainbow confetti print Rebecca Minkoff with cut outs around the stomach and back and a sheer skirt. Again, who is telling these actresses that they look good? Is this look supposed to be “whimsical”?

Also failing to work a sheer skirt is Heather Morris, who paired this Masai Payan with silver platform heels. I think with those cat eyes, giant bauble earrings and off-the shoulder dress, Heather takes the prize for most overdressed. There was some seriously stiff competition among this group.

And I can’t forget Jane Lynch, in a lovely cobalt blue v-neck David Meister with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry. I really liked that dress on her, which was conservative but striking. Did you see the bizarre juggle-off that Giuliana had with Jane? Giuliana was trying way too hard with the props last night. I loved how Jane said hello to her “mom, my aunt marge, my brother and sister who are watching today from the south side of Chicago.” That was cute.

Update: I forgot Naya Rivera! She had on a pale blue and white swirled Naeem Khan sequin gown with a v-neck. I just thought the dress was too “cookie cutter.” I know I should like it, but maybe the colors are underwhelming. I would like to see her in something brighter and a little more daring.

    Jenna’s dress has to be the worst of the night. Lea’s posing has reached ridiculous proportions. I liked Jayma’s dress. Oh Heather-you’re a pretty girl with an amazing body: I’m begging you to find a stylist.

    • originalone says:

      @happymom, See, I was reading CB’s post, and felt bad for Lea, and thought “oh, I’m gonna write something nice, poor girl, I didn’t see her try so hard yesterday on the rc”… But then, I scrolled down to the pictures.

      Honestly girl, you don’t LET US feel bad for you. The pictures have ruined all my good intentions! She looks beyond try-hard, she has that try-hard mixed in with a bitch-I’ll-cut-you look to go with it. Her attitude is her downfall. No matter how saccharine sweet she seems during interviews, the picture speak louder, as the different reports of her being rude to fans.

      Get it together girl if you really want to make it!

      • aprayerforthewildatheart says:

        @originalone
        I agree about Lea, and I’m so glad I’m not the only one. I feel like I’m watching a person over-act, kind of like when you watch live theater.

        The first time I saw Lea I thought she was such a genuine, pretty girl, but is it just me that gets turned off because she acts like she’s full of herself?

        Confidence is one thing, I don’t know WHAT this is. The biggest, most egotistical celebrities don’t act like this. Go inside already, this is something I’d expect from LiLo after sneaking in through the back entrance! LOL!

      • originalone says:

        @aprayer… You add the hard-posing on the red carpet to her being rude to fans, and Hailee Steinfeld, before discovering that Hailee was actually nominated for an OSCAR, and you have a very superficial b-tch, trying to play with the big leagues, but not actually doing the gracious work that goes with it.

        She needs a major image/attitude adjustment. And another one to stop using that little-girl voice to sound cute during interviews. If she could only work a bit to make me like her.

  2. ladybert62 says:

    Dang – the only dress etc that was acceptable to me was the fuscia colored one – the rest are horrible.

  3. arock says:

    so the pastel cut out dress and heather morris’s get up are horrible, but nothing beat lea “pose hard” Mcneedy appearing to have moisturized only the one leg.

    • bros says:

      Posehard McNeedy. perfect. that morris chick’s makeup is atrocious. she looks like she is going to high school prom instead of the SAG awards. man.

  4. Lucy says:

    She is UGLY .

  5. Asli says:

    Leah looks animated in that second pic – and not in a good way. Love Jane!

  6. Marianne says:

    I thought Lea looked STUNNING last night. One of the best dressed in my book. Not only did I think the dress looked great on her, but I thought her hair looked really polished as well.

    I LOVED Dianna’s dress, as well, the colour and shape suited her. Loved her braid incorporated updo.

    Jayma looked good but reminded me too much of Evan Rachel Wood’s Emmy dress.

    Didn’t like Amber;s (which is a shame, she usually dresses so nice). Didn’t like the oversized bow and hated the hair.

    Jane picked the same exact dress so always does.

    Jenna was ok. Just simply ok. Nothing special, not entirely bad.

    Heather was THE WORST!. God that dress is fugly.

    Naya (whom you dont have a picture of)looked stunning as well.

  7. brin says:

    Yeah, Lea Michele is annoying on the red carpet. Jayma looked great and Dianna’s hair and makeup looked very pretty.

    • Carolyn says:

      Yes. Doesn’t Murphy realise a large proportion of Glee viewers aren’t watching anymore because they’re over Rachel. Lea has become Rachel in real life and no one likes her either. Dianna looks gorgeous.

  8. Marjalane says:

    Heather Morris channeling Tonya Harding. The only thing pretty out of the entire Glee group is Diana Agron’s hair.

  9. ahoyhoy says:

    At least somebody told Lea to stop ‘seductively’ licking her lips this time. If you haven’t seen video of it at the GG, FIND IT. She is an idiot.

    Sad for the youngsters when their 50ish costar Jane looks fresher and 10x better than any of them.

  10. Jacqu says:

    Is it just me or does LM’s nose look different? Comparing the 2nd picture from this post to the 2nd picture of Lea Michelle in the Golden Globes (http://www.celebitchy.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/wenn3687392-662×1024.jpg)

    She’s vehement about keeping her nose though, so it might just be me

  11. helvetica says:

    Lea is really trying to look sexy. I watched how she posed in GG, licking her lips and all that, it’s just too much.

    Jayma Mays looks the best of the bunch

    • DreamyK says:

      Lea needs to stop watching so much pr0n. She has mistaken sexual for sexy. There is a difference. Sofia Vergara is sexy. It doesn’t matter what Sofia wears, it just shines through. Everything Lea wears just looks like crap because she insists on acting like a cheap pr0n star in them.

  12. Arianna says:

    No, Lea, we dont need to see your damn tongue.

    i really liked diana’s and jayma’s, even though i’m rather meh on sequins. I thought santana’s dress was nice, even though it isnt included here

  13. MorticiansDoItDeader says:

    Not a glee fan, so i don’t recognize the majority of these people.

    The only ones I’m familiar with are Leah “sexy face” Michelle, Jane Lynch and Dianna Agron. The rest of them seem pretty forgettable and destined for unemployment once glee ends.

    • Asli says:

      😆 Amber Riley plays Mercedes on Glee, Heather Morris plays a ditzy cheerleader as does Naya Rivera, Jenna Uschkowitz plays a girl in the glee-club (can’t remember her name), don’t know who the redhead is…

      Agreed, I don’t see a future for Leah in Hollywood after Glee either, she’ll probably go back to Bradway where the diva-acts are more ‘accepted’ and I don’t know about Dianna. Maybe she’ll go the Kristen Bell-way. Or slowly fall out of the public eye… Either way seem plausible.

      • Marianne says:

        Naya doesn’t play a ditzy cheerleader, she plays the bitch lol. Jayma plays Emma the guidance counselor. Jenna plays Tina, who wears usually more goth/victorian type clothes on the show.

        As for Post Glee stuff…Lea will be in Dorothy Of Oz, slated for a release later in the year. Apparently they will still be returning to Glee as well…(not sure in what way yet). She will probably do more Broadway, maybe some chick flicks here and there.

        Dianna I think might slip off the radar.

        Naya, I know is releasing an album.

        I could see Amber releasing an R&B album. Dont know if she will though.

        Heather is a really great dancer,but I dont see her doing much after Glee.

        Jenna will probably go back and do more broadway, maybe the occasional Tv show,but she doesn’t really have the star power like the other girls, I think she might end up being forgotten in the long run.

        But who knows, I wish the best for them – post Glee.

      • MorticiansDoItDeader says:

        Thanks ladies. My mom really got into glee when they ran a marathon on the oxygen network. I watched a few episodes, but couldn’t get into it. It seemed like they’d pick a theme for an episode (i.e. Lady Gaga), then write the episode around it (which seemed to be why the storylines were lacking continuity). I realize it’s supposed to be campy and lighthearted, but it just comes across as lackluster, IMO.

      • Asli says:

        @ Mort – Yeah, I stopped watching after the whole deal with Rachels biological mom and that kid trying to seduce her into leaving her own glee club so she could join his glee club. Because she was the best vocalist in her old glee-club they would all fall apart without her and that would lead her new glee-club to win the glee-club competition. Yeah… I have good memory?

        Edit: OMG, Marianne – that IS the guidance counselor. Didn’t recognize her without the crazy Bree Van der Kamp hair and make-up.

  14. TheOriginalKitten says:

    I honestly find Lea Michelle to be the most annoying girl on the face of the earth. Biggest try-hard ever. She isn’t nearly as hot as she thinks she is.

  15. kibbles says:

    This is probably the best Lea Michele has ever looked on the red carpet but she is still trying too hard to be sexy. She would look a lot sexier if she relaxed and wasn’t posing in every photo. Jeez. This girl must really have had some major issues with her looks growing up. She’s not pretty in the traditional sense but it’s her personality that is the major problem. She is and will always remain on the C-list. Can’t wait for her to leave Glee.

    Oh, and Dianna looks lovely. She’s a really beautiful young woman. The other girls are in desperate need of a stylist but at least they look young, fresh, and like they are enjoying themselves. I’d rather forgive a few fashion faux pas from these young women than look at Lea Michele’s theatrics on the red carpet.

  16. Franny says:

    Lea looks ridiculous. Here’s my recently shaved leg! Look how shiny it is! Please don’t look too closely at my weave.

    Jayma looks amazing. I love that dress.

    Poor Heather. She can be really cute at times, but that make up is doing her no favors. It looks like a 14 year old did it. Pink eyeshadow? Basically no foundation or blush? Not cute.

    Amber looks like a freshman going to prom. Love her, hate this entire outfit.

    Naya looks stunning as always. I really like her red carpet looks – her stylist needs to help the other girls out.

  17. lucy2 says:

    Jayma’s is pretty, but I think a bit much for her.
    I like Naya’s, I think hers was the best of the group. Dianna’s isn’t great but is very good compared to her past choices. She is so pretty.
    All the rest are terrible, especially the sheer skirt ones.
    Lea’s is better than that awful Globes dress, but still not good. On someone like Charlize Theron it would be killer, but not on Lea.

  18. EmmaStoneWannabe says:

    Um could Lea’s slit be any higher? I think not. *Reeking of desperation**

    • bros says:

      the only try-hard that could carry off this dress is Boobs Legsly. where IS she this awards season??

      • Astrid says:

        Banging Ryan Reynolds in New Orleans and anywhere else she can follow him to. Oh, and walking his and her dog. =P

  19. GoodCapon says:

    She is trying way too hard with the poses.

    Jane Lynch is the best dressed out of that lot.

    Also, Naya Rivera: short torso, reallyyy long legs. WOW.

  20. HappyMom says:

    What the hell does Naya Rivera keep doing to her face?!

    • Ruffian9 says:

      THANK YOU. I haven’t watched Glee in eons, but my first thought looking at these pics was “Did Naya change her face again?” Seriously, girl, stop.

  21. Lindy says:

    Can I just chime in with some love for that wispy braided style on the girl in the fuschia dress? It’s gorgeous and seems appropriate for the rest of her look, and I wish I had a stylist so I could wear my hair that way!

    Also, Jane Lynch was total perfection–the color was great with her fair hair and complexion, and the cut was age-appropriate but not the least bit matronly or frumpy.

    I don’t watch Glee at all (not my cup of tea), but every time I have seen Lea Michelle or read an interview, she has made me want to gag. The dress slit up to here seems like something she would go for–attention whore tactics.

  22. Stubbylove says:

    Jane – RUN!!! Get away from these FugGLEEs! Lea really doesn’t get that everyone is laughing at her does she? Sad.

  23. Tiffany27 says:

    Poor Lea. She wants so badly to be sexy and fails EVERY time.

  24. NerdMomma says:

    I do watch (and love) Glee, and I am utterly shocked to find that Jane Lynch is my fashion hero! LOL I never see her in anything but those track suits, and here she is in the most regal, well-tailored gown. Wow!

    • Naya says:

      Jane and Jayma were the best dressed there. The two of them will probably continue to have decent careers after Glee but the rest, not so much. Amber has an excellent voice but can’t act her way out of a paper sack. And what is Naya doing to her face? She was a stunning young woman before but now she looks off…

  25. Mia says:

    Lea needed shoes that fit, not shoes a size too big when we see the backs of them.

    Naya looked amazing. I feel like we can complain about cookie cutter looks after she’s had several years of doing red carpets. Selecting a dress she looks beautiful in, not such a bad thing.

    I loved Jayma’s dress as well. Amber looked great from the waist down. I. Hate. Bows.

  26. Lini says:

    I think people here are SO overwhelmingly mean to Lea! I voted for her as best dressed and I think she looks so pretty. The dress is perfection on her body and I really like her hair.

    Dianna’s dress looks cheap but her hair and makeup is great.

    Amber look is a joke.

    Jayma looks amazing and I actually really like the back.

    Naya looks sexy, but a little boring. Great hair though.

    Heather looks awful, she never gets it right…

    Jenna also looks like crap, ugliest dress of them all by far but her hair is better than Amber’s so she’s still not the worst of them all.

  27. Ron says:

    I have been on the Glee set before, and it always shocks me that all the gay on the set of that show, and it’s a whole hellagay, that these chicks show up at award shows looking lack luster.

  28. Dawn says:

    There is just something that Lea Michele exudes that makes me really dislike her. Does she have a nice voice; yes she sure does but that nice voice seems to come out of a very mean person. Even the character of Rachael on Glee is very hard to like.

    • Anni says:

      That actually made me tear up because I identify with that problem. Completely different career but I’m also in a whitewashed career where everyone went to the same schools. Sometimes, despite being Italian, I forget that I’m not really “white”.

      • MaiGirl says:

        I know, right? I have been a try-hard outsider at times when I was younger, never as bad as her, but bad. I have to feel some compassion. She still seems like she’d cut a puppy’s throat for the right part in a hot second, though.

  29. Kim says:

    Leas posing is HILARIOUS! She really thinks she is modeling for Vogue on the red carpet doesnt she. Id heard people make fun of it before and here I really see how ridiculous she looks with the open mouth and stance! She looks so silly! Her dress is pretty though doesnt really work on her. Her hair looks very pretty.

    Diana is such a beautiful girl sadly this dress is such a miss on her.

  30. Sam says:

    Dianna Agron, Jaymas May and Jane Lynch are the best dressed of the Glee bunch imo! Love the colour to Dianna’s dress, I prefer it to her GG dress…Lea is trying so damn hard to be sexy, its desperate and embarassing…nice dress though! xx

  31. Happy21 says:

    I love Glee and won’t say much bad about any of them but I can say this:

    Lea is pretty. I love her hair and I think she looks gorgeous here. However, the posing is so obviously forced and unnatural I have a hard time with it. She just needs to relax. I think that maybe she just doesn’t know how to be and maybe she is just uncomfortable.

    Jenna looks awful! That dress. Oh dear!

    Jayma looks nice. That dress is very beautiful. Still doesn’t have much wow to it though.

    Dianna’s hair and make up is flawless. She is beautiful. The dress is a lovely colour but again it just is kind of blah.

    Jane Lynch looks great.

    Naya could do so much better. The dress is nice but I’m not a fan of the colour. It does nothing for her.

    Heather oh Heather…what were you thinking?

    • Happy21 says:

      Oh yeah I forgot about Amber’s dress…

      You don’t put anything big on a big girl. You don’t put a potato sack on someone plus sized and you don’t put a huge bow on your big butt and you sure don’t put a huge bow on your big front. Not being a tiny little thing myself, the few pieces of advice I’ve ever followed is that you don’t want to draw attention to your not so nice areas.

  32. Maritza says:

    I like all the dresses except for Jenna Ushkowitz’s but that doesn’t mean she didn’t look pretty, they all did. Nobody overdressed at all, they were quite appropriate for the occasion.

  33. Amanda G says:

    GAWD! Lea is so ridiculous with those poses! You. Are. Not. Sexy. She tries WAY too hard.

    Amber’s dress would have been perfect without that bow!

    Heather Morris is a talented dancer, but she lacks something. I can’t put my finger on it. Looks? Personality?

    I think that might be the best Jane Lynch has ever looked. Gorgeous color on her!

  34. Jayna says:

    Lea just isn’t vavavoom sexy. She looks like someone playing dressup. Poor Lea is trying but it’s not working.

  35. Camille (The original) says:

    Jane looks the best here IMO and Jayma looked nice too.

    I think on someone else Leas dress would have looked great, but she is too short and doesn’t have the body for it.

    Dianas dress was a lovely colour, but that girl needs to learn how to pose, she looks awful in that pic. Oh and I hated her hair too.

  36. Beatrix says:

    Pose HARD.

  37. Penguin says:

    Lea is a pretty girl with a nice figure but her attitude just ruins it. Jane and Dianna look gorgeous.

  38. Molly says:

    Lea looked stunning, but her posing ruined it. If she had let the slit speak for itself and didnt force it, that would have been sexier and more of a tease. Also, a smile would have been nice. She is well aware that people make fun of her, and for someone who cares so much about what other people think, you would probably think that she would stop doing that.

  39. jane says:

    I do not know why everybody was amazed by Lea I think she looks trashy

  40. Emily says:

    I think Jenna’s dress would work if instead of the stupid sheer skirt, it had a bigger, knee length skirt. Would make a really cute retro-y sundress.

  41. bgirl says:

    A friggin horror show….one is worse than the next.

  42. ZenB!tch says:

    Diana has such beautiful eyes.

    Leah looks like she is channeling Penelope Cruz and failing.

    Amber Rose picked a pretty fugly dress but it’s miles better than anything Melissa McCarthy has ever worn.

  43. Christina says:

    I think Lea is amazing natural and really beautiful always. You are just jealous of her because if you just didn’t like her you wouldn’t talk about her at all, the fact that you spend most of your lines for Lea shows exactly how much you would want to be in her place. She has friends, fame, talent you would never have and a promising career.
    My point stop beeing hateful because she has everything you haven’t. Finally i think Lea is stunning in these pictures and i would love to have the dresses she is wearing!!
