In May 2017, Lea Michele joined Vanessa Hudgens at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. She later took to the stage to introduce her role model and shoe lover, Celine Dion, who performed “My Heart Will Go On.”

At the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, Lea Michele shared her excitement on the red carpet. She looked stunning in an outfit styled by Brad Goreski. “I’m melting a little bit,” she laughed, acknowledging the warm weather but keeping her look intact with a few makeup touch-ups.

When asked about her album Places and recent tour, she described the experience as a joyful return to live performance. “I loved it so much and just getting to sing my songs…that’s where I feel the most at home,” she said, clearly thrilled to be back on stage.

Lea also announced that her new ABC show had just been picked up, with filming starting in August, although she was a bit bittersweet about the end of Scream Queens. “We’re all part of the Ryan Murphy family…those girls, we’re on a group text every day,” she shared, revealing her close connection with her co-stars, including Emma Roberts, whom she called her “best friend in the world.”

Reflecting on female inspirations, Lea lit up when mentioning icons she admires, like Barbra Streisand and Celine Dion. “I’m just afraid they’re gonna kick me out…Lea Michele gets escorted out of the building!” she joked, admitting that just being in the same venue as Celine was “pretty awesome.”

The 30-year-old actress donned a black David Koma dress featuring halter spaghetti straps in the front and numerous eye-catching diagonal mesh cutouts that revealed her black underwear.

She accessorized with black and gold earrings and other jewelry from Neil Lane. Do you like this look, or is she simply trying too hard?

Though Lea Michele’s long David Koma dress at the Billboard Music Awards kept her shoes hidden, it’s no secret that she loves a good pair of heels.

Known for her chic shoe collection, Lea often opts for sky-high pumps and strappy sandals to complement her petite frame. With a size 7 foot, her favorite footwear choices include designs by Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo, which she often turns to for red carpet appearances. While we couldn’t catch a glimpse of her shoes this time, her shoe game rarely disappoints!
