NEW YORK (AP) - Lea Michele is moving from a locker to a much bigger closet. She’s the star of the new Candie’s ad campaign, dubbed “Hanging at Home,” shot at a private mansion in Beverly Hills, Calif. The images show her poolside, in the kitchen, in a bed with satin sheets and in a walk-in closet, wearing a new outfit and pair of shoes in each one.
The 25-year-old star of “Glee” is following in the high-heel footprints of former brand spokeswomen Britney Spears and Fergie, among others. Michele says she particularly liked Spears’ old ads. “I think they’re fun and flirty and show off her body great.”
Michele does a little showing off here, too, with some sexy poses, some silly poses and some glamorous ones.
Anyone who has seen Michele do a turn on the red carpet knows she’s got her moves down for the camera.
She has become a “get” for designers eager to show off their gowns on a hot, young starlet. At the recent Golden Globes, she wore a silver Marchesa gown that was straight from the runway.
Her sentimental favorite gown, though, was probably the one she wore to her first Globes in 2010: a black, strapless Oscar de la Renta with a full skirt.
Other tidbits from Michele in an email interview:
AP: What was your wardrobe like in high school?
Michele: My wardrobe in high school was very simple. Jeans and maybe a sweatshirt and sneakers.
AP: Is there a style trend that you love?
Michele: I love wide-leg, high-waisted pants. If done the right way, they’re very chic.
AP: Is there a trend you wish would go away?
Michele: Feathers in people’s hair!
AP: Do you have a guilty pleasure?
Michele: I LOVE beauty products. Face and body creams are my obsession.
