Talk about a sweet gig.

Glee's resident red carpet diva is about to profit from her increasingly cooed-over sartorial style, as E! News has exclusively learned that Lea Michele has been named the newest spokeswoman for Candie's.

Talk about the perfect fit.

"Lea's fans are the same as Candie's fans," an insider for the fashion brand told E! News.

Lea's rep could not be reached for comment and Candie's has also remained mum on the stylish new appointment, though a source told E! News that Michele will appear in a series of print ads for the company later this year as part of her endorsement deal.

As it is, she's stepping into some well-heeled shoes for the new gig. Vanessa Hudgens is Candie's most recent celebrity spokeswoman, and the job has been filled in the past by Britney Spears, Ashlee Simpson, Fergie and Jenny McCarthy.

Can't wait to see those spots, Lea!
