(Cover) - EN Star Style - Lea Michele is boosting her prevalence in the fashion stakes by featuring in a book about individual flair.

The smouldering dark-haired beauty appears in the much-hyped collection from Elle magazines creative director Joe Zee, called The ELLEments of Personal Style.

Lately the American Glee actress has been seen turning heads on the red carpet in cream silk floor-length dresses and striking tangerine strapless numbers which make her naturally bronzed features stand out.

"You see this cool, sophisticated girl, but she is sexy and modern at the same time," Joe told Extra. "She knows how to play up her assets."

Joe is marking his 25th year with Elle magazine with the new fashion book, and it is an honour for the petite actress to feature in it so early on.

Lea was also chosen for Victorias Secret Sexy List 2010 in May for having the Sexiest Smile, proving the Golden Globe nominee is set to stay on the cutting-edge trend radar.

He's made Glee's Lea Michele the first woman in the book, Extra confirmed. (C) Cover Media
