Lena Dunham in a Zac Posen mullet dress at the Globes: terrible, as usual?

For a moment on the E! red carpet show, I only saw Lena Dunham from the waist up, and I tweeted something nice about how she looked presentable. Then I saw this full Zac Posen look. It’s a mullet dress. So no nice words shall be had. First of all, Lena told Ryan Seacrest that Zac Posen was her babysitter when she was little. Because of course. Because Lena doesn’t get enough criticism for being the hyper-privileged woman with family connections up the wazoo. Lena also told Ryan that she deleted Twitter from her phone to “create a safer space for myself emotionally” after “people threaten my life and tell me what a cow I am.” Lena Dunham, always a victim. I mean, men do behave aggressively towards women online and it’s a real problem. But Lena Dunham is not and should not be the poster girl for that.

As for her look with the Zac Posen mullet dress… I think we can all agree that at the very least, it’s a much better look than her 2014 Emmys look, right? Right. Because at least she didn’t have a blonde bowl cut. Her hair is back to normal and her style is merely boringly fug rather than flat-out offensive. Also: Lena’s shoes might have been the ugliest shoes on the carpet.

I’m including photos of the other “Girls” too. Allison Williams wore Armani Prive and the dress was… eh. It reminds me of something Zooey Deschanel would have worn. A girly ball gown, basically. The real problem was that Allison’s old-fashioned hairstyle was super-unflattering. As for Zosia Mamet, she wore this Andrew Gn gown which just looks like a cheap mall dress. I saw a lot of people on Twitter complaining about her total look, but while I thought she could do much better, this actually didn’t offend me.
