There’s something very grown-up and intelligent about her.” The early online buzz was about Michele’s sophisticated Marchesa dress: She wore the look of a seasoned star instead of starlet. She wore a plain-front, low draped back with rosette sleeves that really let her work the crowd. She gave fans lined up outside the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles a big wink. Less successful were Gwyneth Paltrow and Heidi Klum, who both have been stylists’ red-carpet favorites in the...
