Yay or Nay: Lea Michele's Red Carpet Trench Coat
A great trench coat, that flatters and fits your body is a wardrobe staple. A dress coat, a la Kate Middleton, is a chic alternative to a shift. Now, what happens if you combine these two pieces? Ask Lea Michele.
Lea was recently presented as the face of L’Oreal and on her red carpet debut, she was outfitted in a shiny gold Lanvin trench coat dress. I’ll say first that while the shoes aren’t anything super special, they’re quite fetching and sexy so I’ll give her a thumbs up for those. I really can’t make up my mind about the dress, and to be honest, I’m not sure if the dress can make up it’s mind either.
It seems like it’s caught in the middle of two styles and neither of them are done justice. There’s a lot of skin showing and I don’t blame her; she’s a total knockout. I just don't think bare skin and a trench coat really mix. Also, the shininess might be throwing me off some. Is it not very distracting? All in all, I feel like this outfit could have been done better. She’s a pretty girl in a ‘meh’ dress and it could have been a pretty girl in a ‘va va voom’ dress. I’m giving her a B- on this one.
What about you? What do you think of this trench coat style dress? Is she werkin’ it? Would you wear something like this? Leave a comment with your yay or nay vote by October 7th and you could win!

 | Yay! I think it's cute and sexy. |
 | Nay. Too much going on, a dress in the same colour, or a trench in a less flashy colour would have been fine. |
 | I agree with Jenn Leigh - it just looks like she's got nothing underneath and was caught in the middle of some weird roleplay fantasy. This would be great as a coat, but not as a dress! NAY! |
 | sorry...gonna have to say nay |
 | Nay -- it reminds me of the cliche "I want to be naughty" by showing up dressed only in a trench coat and high heels other wise being totally naked underneath. Again very cliche and totally not fit as a dress, especially on a red carpet! |
| yay, it suits the occasion |
 | She looks beautiful, but I myself wouldn't be able to pull it off. I would have to say a nay |
| She looks beautiful, but I myself wouldn't be able to pull it off so a big bad nay |
 | Nay, I think it looks best as a coat. I would definetely not wear it myself. |
 | I like the outfit and it just depends on the event if it is appropriate or not. |
