Lena Dunham's Style Evolution: How the 'Girls' Star Grew Up

Whether or not you're a fan of "Girls" some say it's funny, insightful, and honest, while others insist it's a self-indulgent view of unlikable characters we can all thank HBO for bringing the show's creator and star, Lena Dunham, into our lives (who, for the record, is totally the former in real life). We appreciate the 27-year-old's candor, her unique perspective, and the fact that she never takes herself (or her wardrobe) too seriously. At first, Dunham and her TV alter ego, Hannah Horvath, seemed like one and the same, from their penchant for awkward rompers to their uncanny inability to filter their thoughts. But as Dunham has become increasingly confident in the public eye and in her wardrobe choices, she's also become a true style star with originality. And thankfully, while her fashion sense has evolved, there is still a little Hannah in there too. By Joanna Douglas, Yahoo Shine Senior Fashion and Beauty Editor
