Lea Michele continues transformation into fashionista as she turns model for new Candie's campaign

Lea Michele is regularly seen hitting the red carpet in designer creations. But it seems she is not above donning some budget threads too.
The Glee star appears in a brand new campaign for Candies, looking adorable in the retro-inspired collection for next season.
Proving she can model as well as she can sing, the 25-year-old is seen in artfully clashing prints,  leaning against a bicycle in a striped jacket and polka-dot jeans.

Regularly seen in labels like Armani, Victoria Beckham and Carolina Herrera, she is going for a sophisticated look befitting of an A-lister.
She has even been sitting front row at the recent Paris couture shows - though she managed to squeeze in some quality time in the city of romance with her beau too.
