Ah, Rachel in a sweater vest. Such a classic nerd costume...and maybe a man-trap? Lea Michele herself tells us: "I mean weirdly enough the guys loved it! I don't know, but like everyone they thought it was so sexy and I was like, 'I look horrible right now!'"
Remember back when New Directions wore costumes that could be realistically afforded by a small-town glee club with basically no budget? That was a good episode.
White tights and a CROTCH BOW? What is that? Where do you even get one of those? Why do they exist? Is that skirt on backwards? What?! "She's had some different vibes over the years!" Lea tells us with a laugh.
That skirt is vaguely fashionable! Unless it's a skort. Please tell us it's not a skort.
Somebody tell Cher Horowitz that Rachel Berry stole her look (and did not pull it off).
Girl, you are wearing both plaid and argyle. That is a lot of pattern. The white knee socks are solid, though.
This is cute actually. We'd wear this, if mustard yellow went with our skin tone.
That's a nice little bow and all but we're like really distracted by Finn's Cosby-ish sweater. We can't decide if we like it. We probably do.
This kind of 40's-ish throwback dress is a pretty good dress in which to sing a duet with your biological mother. We wear almost this exact same thing whenever we sing duets with our biological mothers.
And here we have the perfect dress in which to be proposed to! We're serious. We would love to be proposed to in this dress, although we would like to be older with a solid career and financial independence, and maybe on a beach at sunset, like in France or somewhere. But all that aside, who in their right mind would have ever said no to this?
And this is the dress in which we would allow our dad, Jeff Goldblum, to pat us on the head. We would also definitely wear it to a fancy Valentine's Day garden party.
We would wear this prom dress, especially if we were going to prom, but also if we were just hanging out and wanting to look fabulous but also classy and understated.
That is a great blazer, Rachel, but what on Earth is happening behind you? That man doesn't realize he's being eaten by a squid, and Finn seems to have no idea he's about to be eaten by Rory. That balloon is the least of your concerns!
We're a little disturbed by the clashy nature of this orange dress with Santana's red and white Cheerio uniform, but like, we guess it's cool that they're getting along.
We've basically never seen a better orange coat. We have dreams about riding the rails in that orange coat. Rachel is living our pumpkin-colored dream, basically.
Is that a romper? It's probably a romper. Those shorts would not look good on us, but on Rachel, they work. Also note the tiny bow on that cardigan—adorable!
This outfit would be utterly divine for a Fourth of July jaunt around the Hamptons on our fancy yacht. We are unsure about the shoes, however. Very unsure.
Rachel is living out our dream, once again, because who has not fantasized about getting a musical makeover from SJP? Put this fabulous frock on our list for future Oscar dresses. We do have many questions about Kurt's two-(million)-toned suit, though...
Yeah we'd wear that blazer. That thing is chic. It's probably dry-clean only though, which is a bummer.
Ugh, you Grecian goddess, you. Literally there's nothing else anyone could ever wear to a NYADA winter showcase. Everyone else can just go home because y'all can never top this sparkly masterpiece.
Um, damn. This is a sexy photograph. Remember when Rachel got all sexified and sang "Slave" on top of that table for Kate Hudson? Everyone only wishes they could pull off a sweetheart neckline with such perfection. Where have you been all our lives, sultry Rachel?
We're beyond jealous of everything going on here. Who knew polka dots could look so rock and roll? "I'm really loving New York," Lea tells us. "We've done some really cool coats and boots and hats and things like that."
Basically ever since the invention of slouchy hats, we haven't stopped trying to get them to slouch correctly on our undeserving heads. Then we saw this and we gave up completely because we knew we could never reach this level of perfect slouch, and even if we did, our hats would fall off in our attempts to bow down to Rachel Berry's slouchy-hatted holiness.
She is wearing a sequin pantsuit, you guys. Sequin. Pantsuit. It may be a costume from Funny Girl, but Rachel has never belonged in anything more officially as she belongs in this sequin pantsuit.
