Tan Lines Won't Hold Lea Michele Back

What the actress texted her stylist in preparation for this year's Oscars red carpet.

Tan Lines Won't Hold Lea Michele Back

Pro tip if you’re an A-list actress headed to an Oscars bash...pack every bikini you own and head on an insanely fun girls’ trip to Hawaii right before (then extend said trip so you soak up every last ray of sun, ensuring a golden glow on the red carpet), make forever kind of bonds with the people you work with—everyone from your makeup artist to your stylist—so that you’re always having one big hangout (where Ariana Grande plays on repeat), and stock your pantry with Ezekiel bread and avocado for healthy-ish late-night snacking.

At least that’s what actress Lea Michele does. And we learned all that (and more!) when we played fly-on-the-wall at the FourSeasons Los Angeles at Beverly Hills with Michele, stylist Brad Goreski, hair stylist Sarah Potempa, and makeup artist Lauren Andersen ahead of Elton John’s 24th Annual Oscar Viewing Party—aka the most glamorous gathering of glamorous people.

“I’m wearing a gorgeous black-and-gold Elie Saab gown. The great thing about the Elton John party is that it’s such a great group of people who attend and allows you to wear whatever you want—it’s fun to be a little bit more over-the-top, or more restrained. Anything goes! I’ve had some of my favorite fashion memories at this event, and I think this year’s dress definitely holds its own against the other dresses I’ve worn.”
