Glee star Lea Michele flaunts yoga-toned, size 2 physique at film premiere

Glee cutie Lea Michele showed off her lean, yoga-toned physique in a body-hugging Valentino gown at the premiere of New Year's Eve in Hollywood Dec. 5, 2011.

The size-two, 5'2"  Lea, a vegan who does yoga, runs, dances, hikes and strength-trains, was joined on the red carpet by co-star Ashton Kutcher.

Ashton, 33, is in the middle of a high-profile divorce from actress Demi Moore, 48, but happily flirted with Michele, 25, on the red carpet.

Lea, who defied advice from previous managers to get a nose job, says playing the driven Rachel Berry on Glee has made her more confident.

“Rachel doesn’t look like everyone else, but her confidence takes her past that; she overcomes," says Michele.

"Glee has made me feel beautiful," said Michele. "Now when people say that I don't feel like they're lying.

"How many managers told me, ‘Get a nose job. You’re not pretty enough’? But I proved them wrong."

Lea: I Was Told I Wasn't Pretty Enough

Lea's co-stars say she's an inspiration to girls who don't look like like a cookie-cutter, size 0 Barbie doll.

“In an industry where girls are expected to look and act a certain way, (Lea) isn’t afraid to be her own person," says her Glee costar Jonathan Groff. "She inspires me.”

The ambitious Michele plans to continue singing, dancing and acting well after her Glee character graduates from high school.

"I don’t stop. It’s my nature," she says. "People have to tell me to slow down. I plan on playing every role on Broadway...I want to do movies, make music. Glee is only the beginning."
