Lea Michele's 10 Most Stunning Instagram Photos!

Lea Michele started on Broadway and even back then refused to conform to Hollywood pressures, including advice to get a nose job. (Good -- she's gorgeous!) Since becoming a household name on Glee, she's been linked to Ashton Kutcher after a few flirty moments promoting New Year's Eve, but her one true love was her Glee co-star Cory Monteith.

When Monteith passed away from a heroin overdose in 2013, Michele was predictably and understandably devastated. But she picked up the pieces and moved on, writing a book (Brunette Ambition) and releasing her debut album, Louder, which featured songs about her lost love. What didn't kill the New York native made her stronger, and she got right back to work on the set of Glee, where she delivered a heartfelt and heartbreaking tribute to Monteith with a cover of "Make You Feel My Love."

Michele has started smiling again, realizing she's got a lot to offer the world -- and she looks better than ever. See her most stunning Instagram photos here and get inspired for your own Brunette Ambition.

Lea Michele was a little Real Housewives, a little classic glam and a lot of leg at the Met Gala.
