Even when Lena Dunham can be quite annoying sometimes, the girl has given a place to a much-needed conversation regarding female bodies. With her powerful personality, she teaches us all about confidence and self-love on and off the screen.
The Girls’ creator, along with her HBO co-stars, is featured in Glamour magazine’s February issue. In the cover, she made a full display of her body, cellulite and all. She turned to Instagram to thank the magazine and took the chance to give some inspiring words about her decision of going without any photoshop.
Your look. Your body. Your happiness.
The Girls cast is on the cover of Glamour magazine’s February issue. Lena Dunham, Allison Williams, Zosia Mamet and Jemima Kirke all look fabulous in cool 70’s vibe wearing Marc Jacobs. But there’s something extremely real about the cover. And is Lena’s glorious full display of her cellulite.
An unretouched photo for a change.
It’s been a long way.
The show created by Dunham is coming to its final season. Lena made nudity something quite normal in the show, as we were used to watching her naked frame quite often. And this was actually real good, as it gave room for a much-needed conversation, which is the female bodies we’re used to seeing on TV and the lack of integration of the different types of them.
Raising the voice on and off the screen.
After sharing the cover on her IG, trolls came trying to bring her down about the way she looks. So, it was time for her to make a stand. She pointed that the decision of not using photoshop was important not only for herself but for all women.
No body shaming.
She made a sincere point about loving her own skin and talked about the struggles of living in a society that makes you think you’re supposed to hate the way you look. She then continued pointing out that her body isn’t fair game, and that there’s a place for everybody to be recognized as beautiful.
Truly inspiring.
“Thank you for letting my cellulite do the damn thing on new stands everywhere today.”
Finally, she thanked the magazine for making such a big move, and women in Hollywood and on IG for leading the way and normalizing the female form in every form.
She had the final laugh. After all, she’s the one featuring the cover of the magazine today and inspiring people to love their own body.
Way to go Lena!
