She has become familiar to millions of fans as goth girl Tina Cohen-Chang in the hit series Glee.

The star's appearance was in stark contrast to just four months ago when she appeared at a red carpet event in Monte Carlo.

Wearing a blue and black dress, her face appeared considerably slimmer as she stepped out on the red carpet at the event.

Ushkowitz has been linked to her Glee co-star Kevin McHale, but has denied the pair are an item.

'Rumours are bound to happen," she told People earlier this year.

'[The cast is] all so incestuous and close that we figure anything will come out.'

Meanwhile on-screen, Tina is in the midst of a love triangle with McHale's character Artie and Mike Chang, played by Harry Shum Jr.
The new season of Glee, which is currently airing in the U.S. will be featuring: 'A little less music, a little more back story from everybody,' according to Ushkowitz.
