Jan 27, 2013 @ 8:25 pm

Glee actress Naya Rivera chose to wear a custom dress by Donna Karan Atelier to the SAG Awards, and the designer gave us an insider look at the black gown with this sketch. The design features an exposed corset with an accordion pleat detail. “I love this dress because it feels good,” Rivera told InStyle.com on the red carpet. “It fits really well, and it’s really dramatic. I had so many choices this year and I narrowed it down to two. This is the one that sort of stuck!” Rivera attended the ceremony on behalf of the show, which was nominated for Outstanding Performance By An Ensemble In A Comedy Series.

On tonight’s all-new episode of Glee, the cast will be recreating scenes and performing songs from Grease. We caught up with Darren Criss at Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s Tie The Knot launch party last night to get his take on the “Glease” episode. “It’s definitely a new favorite,” Criss told InStyle.com. “If you’re a Grease fan, you’re going to love it. If you don’t know anything about Grease, you’re going to want to watch Grease.” Sounds (and looks) like viewers are in for a ride (note the “Greased Lighting” preview above). This week will also see the return of Kate Hudson as Lea Michele’s dance instructor, Cassandra July. Hudson, along with Naya Rivera and newcomer Alex Newell, will be singing “There Are Worse Things I Could Do,” and Criss can’t get enough of it. “It’s so good. It’s wonderful!” he said. So, grab your hair gel, leather pants, and poodle skirts—this screams sing-along. Glee‘s “Glease” episode airs tonight at 9/8c on FOX.

Glee’s Deleted Bridesmaids Scene: See Rachel’s Audrey Hepburn Dress

Aug 3, 2012 @ 12:00 pm

Ryan Murphy’s been Tweeting up a behind-the-scenes storm! First, the Glee creator shared this picture of Lea Michele and Kate Hudson on the set of his hit show’s fourth season. Then, he Tweeted this deleted scene between Chris Colfer’s Kurt and Darren Criss’s Blaine (or “Klaine” to Gleeks) from season three’s Christmas special. And now, thanks to all the requests he’s received for it, @MrRPMurphy uploaded the missing Bridesmaids-inspired scene promised from Rachel’s (Michele) and Finn’s (Cory Monteith) would-have-been wedding. All the McKinley ladies are here, and we get a chance to see Rachel’s adorable tea-length white dress, created by the show’s costume designers and L’ezu‘s Patricia Nevil, up close. “We used Audrey Hepburn’s wedding dress in Funny Face as inspiration for Rachel Berry’s dress,” costume assistant Mojdeh Daftary told InStyle.com. Here’s our comparison—they were so spot-on! Watch the scene above.

The Glee Bridesmaids’ Look: Target and Ivanka Trump!

Glee fans geared up for the Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) and Finn Hudson (Cory Montieth) wedding during last night’s episode, and we were excited to see what the type-A Rachel planned for her big day. Thanks to the researchers at fashionofglee.tumblr.com, we know the hot pink belted bridesmaids dresses that Mercedes (Amber Riley), Sugar (Vanessa Lengies), Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz), Brittany (Heather Morris), and Santana (Naya Rivera) wore are from the Merona Collection at Target, and they accessorized with ivory pointed-toe heel by Ivanka Trump. It’s nice to see the costume designers kept the look budgety-friendly and high-school appropriate—the dress sold for $40, though it’s no longer in stores, and the patent pumps are available for $120 at zappos.com. Sadly, with Quinn’s (Dianna Agron) accident, the “I dos” never happened. Here’s to hoping they’ll pick up where they left off when the show returns in April! Tell us: Do you like their bridesmaids look? Let us know in the comments!

Naya Rivera’s SAG Awards Dress: Runway to Red Carpet

Jan 30, 2012 @ 6:15 pm

Naya Rivera said yes to altering her dress! The Glee actress attended last night’s SAG Awards wearing a beaded spring 2012 Naeem Khan gown with a sexy tweak—no sleeves! “While I am loving long sleeves these days, I felt that Naya should show a bit of skin,” the designer told InStyle.com. “She is young so I didn’t want her to be too covered up.” Rivera couldn’t be happier with the look. “I really loved the color. I’ve never worn baby blue before and I like the silhouette,” she told us on the red carpet. So, what do you think of the alteration?
