Lea Michele on Her 'Unconventional' Beauty

Broadway veteran and GLEE star Lea Michele appears on the cover of the December issue of Allure Magazine, where she chats about everything from her looks to her GLEE costars.

On her 'unconventional' beauty, Michele commented: "Have I been asked to change anything? Uh-huh. Uh-huh. When I was 15, my mother and I went to meet a manager who said, 'You have to get a nose job in order for me to work with you. My mother would say to me, 'Barbra Streisand never got a nose job. You're not getting a nose job.' And this was before I really even knew who Barbra was. I just knew that she was, like, the messiah for girls like me."

On last year's controvercial school girl photo shoot, Michele added: "People were really offended by this, being that we play high-school students. But we're not high-school students! Cory is almost 30, and Dianna and I are 25. But there was such controversy. I do try to keep in mind that there are a lot of young viewers watching our show. But it's a delicate balance, continuing to be who you are but also remembering you're in a certain position. But would I do the shoot again? Absolutely."
