Get Lea Michele's Timeless Look in 4 Chic Steps

Though Lea Michele adores an ensemble with extra sparkle, occasionally the starlet choose an outfit that channels Grace Kelly rather than Dolly Parton. And Ms. Michele did just that for an appearance at the Giffoni Film Festival in Italy when she chose an ensemble that would have made Elizabeth Taylor proud…sans the skating rink diamonds, of course.

Michele's red carpet ensemble consisted of a '50s-inspired v-neck dress with a flared skirt, and a pair of adorable d'Orsay pumps to match. Rather than detract from her ensemble with piles of borrowed jewelry, Michele kept it modern with golden stud earrings and an understated ring, polishing off the look with a sleek ponytail and a deeply smudged green smoky eye. And of course, with a dress like this, Michele's artistic tattoos were on display for all to see, giving the look extra street appeal. Amidst a sea of backless, frontless, and side-less dresses on the red carpet, the Glee actress's outfit looked effortlessly elegant, and most importantly, achievable. Read on for the four pieces you'll need to look just as timeless as Lea Michele. Who knows? Perhaps you'll be inspired enough to sing about it.
