Lena Dunham Schools The Daily Mail In Fashion Criticism: 'What They Call An Eyesore I Call A Damn Dream'

Lena Dunham Brilliantly Mocks The Daily Mail's Critique Of Her 'Heroic' Jumpsuit

Lena Dunham has schooled the Daily Mail in the art of fashion appreciation by mocking their critique of an outfit that made her feel "heroic".

Dunham shared the Mail's paparazzi shot on her Instagram, with a caption that read: "What the Daily Mail calls an eyesore I call a damn dream,

"Was literally psyched about the paparazzi photo so I would have evidence of it #thanksforthehelpcreepyguyintruckerhat #OnesieNation"

The Mail started their article with a stinging backhanded compliment: "Lena Dunham has worn some gorgeous outfits on many an occasion - but Saturday's look was not one of her best."

Before bemoaning her relaxed approach to fashion: "The Girls creator took a very laid back approach to her appearance in general, matching the eye-sore one piece with a grey cardigan and a pair of trainers."

However, rather than being a "laid back" fashion choice, Dunham asserted the utmost thought had gone into putting together her ensembles to ensure her Maria Hoffman jumpsuit would work in multiple settings:

"This onesie takes me from @tracyandersonmethod, to brunch, to fetal position and I couldn't feel more heroic," she wrote.
