Lea Michele had a packed schedule in 2016, balancing intense workouts, top-secret fashion shoots, and promoting the second season of Scream Queens alongside Taylor Lautner and John Stamos.
But even with her demanding career, the Glee alum made time for self-care. She was spotted leaving The Now boutique in West Hollywood, effortlessly chic in a sleek black maxi dress and designer accessories.

Lea completed her chic and comfortable ensemble with strappy Aquazzura “Austin” sandals in elegant nude suede.
With a lace-up design, a sturdy block heel, and a reputation for being chic and wearable, it’s no wonder celebs keep returning to Aquazzura. The same month, Lea wore the same heels with a plunging white top by Leah Shlaer, a Madewell denim jacket, and culottes from ALC.

Other Celebrities Who Love Aquazzura
Lea Michele joins a long list of celebrities who love Aquazzura footwear. Angelina Jolie graced the red carpet at the 2025 Palm Springs Film Festival in a black halter dress paired with Aquazzura’s ‘Savoy’ pumps, showcasing her signature understated elegance.
Similarly, Florence Pugh turned heads at a London screening of ‘We Live in Time,’ donning a Rodarte lace dress complemented by Aquazzura heels, seamlessly blending edgy and romantic elements.
Meghan Markle has also been spotted in Aquazzura’s ‘Rendez Vous’ heels, adding a touch of royal sophistication to her ensemble.
Lea’s stunning Aquazzura “Austin” suede sandals were available at various retailers such as Farfetch, but due to their popularity, they quickly sold out.

Lea Michele’s choice of a sleek black maxi dress for her casual day out is no surprise—she has long been a fan of flowy, floor-length silhouettes. Whether running errands or walking the red carpet, the actress frequently gravitates toward maxi dresses for their effortless elegance and versatility.
This isn’t the first time she’s turned heads in a striking full-length ensemble. Years earlier, she embraced a bold printed maxi dress at a Glee event, proving her affinity for the style extends beyond everyday outings.
Glee’s Lea Michele Stuns in Maxi Dress (Despite Fashion Faux Pas?)
For someone relatively new to celebrity life, Lea Michele of “Glee” fame demonstrated remarkable poise on the red carpet, resembling a seasoned professional.
Captured here at Fox’s “Glee” spring premiere soiree, her demeanor reflects her growing comfort with the spotlight and her emerging star quality.

Lea Michele is wearing a printed long-wrap dress from the Etro Spring 2010 Ready-To-Wear collection.
Never mind that the dress isn’t that appropriate for the red carpet, her shoes don’t match, and her bangs aren’t that even. Lea Michele brings an air of elegance to this outfit and, so far, to everything she has worn at formal events.
With this Etro wrap dress, she proves that the wearer makes the outfit, not vice versa.

Lea Michele’s hair and makeup are a little too heavy for the dress, and I would’ve preferred slimmer, more elegant shoes to counterbalance all that flowy fabric. But I have to hand it to her: it’s difficult for anyone without supermodel proportions to pull off a long-sleeved maxi dress, especially one with extra ruffly fabric attached to the hem.
Lea Michele’s petite frame hardly qualifies her as modelesque, but she carries and models the Etro long wrap dress on the red carpet like nobody’s business.
I adore the print on that Etro wrap dress – so very spring! – although I would rather like it in shorter dresses. A print like that on a long-sleeved long dress would overpower me!
