Lena Dunham - Fat, Child Molesting Attention Whore and Her Trainwreck of a Family

lena_dunham_vogue_wedding_17-jpg.2580911

Fucking called it.
It's like she's slowly morphing into Shrek.
 
She might have retained a shred of dignity if she'd gone for a conventional length gown:

but of course Lena has no concept of dignity so we got Bride of Chucky instead.
What I know about fashion could fill a thimble with room to spare, and even I know that a wedding gown should be at least ankle length (unless it's marriage #4 in front of the Justice of the Peace or an Elvis impersonator, then who cares?).

To each their own, but come on Lena... white?
 
Christ why did they let her write the captions to the photos? It's like reading a child's diary.
"At first my ceremony dress reference was when the Beatles’ wives got married at Town Hall. Then it turned into June Carter Cash, Priscilla Presley, Coal Miner’s Daughter energy."
WHO WORE IT BETTER?

Hilariously Christopher Kane observed she looked like she was going to her first Communion, and that's exactly what I thought - she's mutton dressed as lamb. Somehow Lena's managed to take a bunch of cool sounding things ("Custom painted bespoke dress as a surprise from Christopher Kane" "hand selected Miu Miu heels" "wedding cakes from the London Review of Books", "hosted at the Union Club", "Gail Smith made a custom floral Chuppah") and make it look terrible.

Gratingly Lena keeps referring to Emma Chitty as Luis's favourite human. She's Luis's smoking hot ex that he seems to have split up with during lockdown, and I hope she was judging him for deciding to marry Lena in the space of 9 months.
From what I've read, Priscilla hated her wedding dress because it had no shape to it. I think it could be assumed that Elvis probably picked it out and made her wear it. He was pretty controlling of his "child bride" (I know she wasn't a child when they got married, but they did live together from the time she was 14-15 until they got married).

Wonder who is the "Elvis" in this Lena marriage?

Yes, the started dating when Priscilla was like 13 and Elvis was stationed in Germany during his army stint.

Elvis definitely didn’t want anyone seeing Priscilla’s body and had a absolutely epic mother/whore complex. He wanted a 100% innocent virgin bride. He worshipped his mother (never got over her death which occurred while he was stationed in Germany)
and was a really sheltered Christian boy until he became famous and then suddenly had “whores” throwing themselves at him. He had all the women he could ever want, so his bride had to be as pure and chaste as the driven snow.

Priscilla pretty much escaped life as a kept living doll in a gilded cage.

Deep breath
So slight power level, but I have a friend who worked bridal and just before covid decimated the wedding industry, a trend was emerging for 60s inspired mod dresses. What we think of as a "traditional" wedding dress is relatively new and mostly feeds off Victorian ball gowns and 30s evening wear, but for a lot of the 20th century wedding dresses followed mainstream fashion a lot more closely.
70s style lace maxis (with no floof) had been a thing for a while (think boho weddings, or what Carrie Symonds wore when she married Boris Johnson) but the 60s mini A-line was catching on. Top far right is an actual 1960s wedding dress.

That's a look for a rather daring bride because it can read "nice white dress" more than "wedding dress" so some brides were opting for a more early 60s look, which is what we tend to conflate with the 1950s, hence bottom row. Think more Grace Kelly than Twiggy, so tea length with a fit and flare silhouette.
Fit and flare is actually a good shout for Lena because it gives her a shape and makes her look like she has a waistline (compare with the shapeless sacks she wore for her other two wedding dresses). The problem is that she went for a dress that's very short and with a waistline that sits very high, which gives a girlish babydoll silhouette. The comparison to Communion dresses is apt:

This is compounded by her wearing opaque white tights and a veil with a girlish bow on it, plus the poofy princess sleeves. A young thin bride might pull it off, but Lena would have looked significantly better if she'd just gone with something more conventional and mature.
Essentially it's not just the length that's the issue, it's the styling and cut that really takes her from "60s bride" to "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?".

And after she had Lisa Marie, Elvis refused to have sex with her.
He realized he screwed things up with her, so that's why he made her executor/left her everything in his will. Elvis was running out of money when he died, but Priscilla was able to get things in order, and now his image is worth millions, IIRC.

Lena just looks like an awkward pre-teen in that dress, and the way she's standing is doing her no favors.
But she's never dressed very well, even on the red carpet. I get being quirky, but she always looks plain weird. Like so so anti-fashion, isn't she kewl?

Because I don’t want to post too much OT Elvis shit.
Elvis actually left everything to Lisa Marie and made his father Vernon executor. Vernon died two years later and he appointed Elvis’s former accountant Joe Hanks, Priscilla and The Bank of Memphis executors for Lisa Marie until she came of age. Pressley never forgave Priscilla for running off with his karate instructor.

There’s been some lawsuits in recent years because Lisa Marie sold off a large portion of her interest in EP Enterprises and claims her manager squandered the $100 mil from it, not making it clear she was burning through the principal and not living on its interest. It’s a mess, but then Lisa Marie is messy, but at least she finally left Scientology. It’s amazing the cult didn’t suck every cent out of the Elvis’s estate before then, but that was due in large part to the trusts set up by Joe Hanks and the banks. Priscilla and Lisa Marie certainly dumped enough money into the cult’s coffers over the years.

Interesting, didn't know this stuff.
I had read a few books years ago, but they mentioned nothing about the Scientology stuff or Elvis being angry with Priscilla, or the trusts.
Thanks for posting this.
 
I know this is a silly question and we know Lena "don't play by nobody's rules" but could she have just lost a few pounds for her wedding? I'm not saying lose weight like she did a few years ago, but perhaps 25-30lbs so she wouldn't look so blobby in her wedding pics? I mean if she is vain enough to have 3 wedding dresses for her wedding, couldn't she have put a little more effort into trying to look somewhat attractive in those three dresses?
 
Along those same lines, I always wondered why she not only stopped but reversed all the progress she made with Tracey Anderson. I know she'd probably blame it on her mostly fake illness (and I think she's even blamed Trump for stress eating in the past), but she is weirdly committed to looking as unattractive as possible while at the same time trying to position herself as a fashion maven.

I think her benzo addiction and hysterectomy (particularly what it does to hormones and metabolism) hit her like a ton of bricks as far as exercise and weight loss, which she may not have expected in her haze of munchie madness. It's also just easier for her to go all in with being a fat cow than being a 130-pound (she never achieved real "Hollywood thin" status) rat-faced lump. Her time as a lead on a show has passed, and even if she were slim, I don't think she'd ever land another big role like the one she had on Girls, so she's probably given up entirely. She gloms onto shitty trends as well, so fat acceptance, body positivity, and sick girl LARPing are some of the last things keeping her at all relevant on social media for the gross people who still genuinely follow her.

But yes, she does like being ugly for attention, too, while insisting that everyone should literally want to fuck her; many people haven't forgotten that odious Odell Beckham incident. She's a nasty self-centered and contradictory creature.

How tall is Lena? If she was 130lbs and let's say 5'6" she would be decent 20 BMI...

Lena is 5'3" and her lowest weight was actually about 138 lbs. (BMI 24.4), it seems. She was not fat for a normie, but she was never practically emaciated like her co-stars Allison Williams (whose career is thriving) and Zosia Mamet, two women which for better or for worse have the current celebrity body type.

Also, her extreme dieting and whatever other neurosis caused a lot of her hair to fall out, and she still looked weird when she lost weight (note how tiny Tracy is in comparison):

Thanks for clarification. On the first pic you posted she looked OK. I remember earlier in this thread there was a teenage Lena posted, and nothing suggested that she will turn into this monstrous hambeast.

Honestly, I really don't understand how people can get that fat. Even when I am at my low mentally, I would totally hate myself being so overweight.

If she's up her own ass enough to have three wedding dresses, and didn't want to lose weight, she could at least have had dresses made that weren't total fug. Given all the designers she knows, you'd think she could have found somebody to make her even one dress that wasn't a hot mess, but no.

She's living proof that if you want to be a style icon, you've got to choose your gays carefully, because the wrong ones will do you dirty.

She just has a weird body type with unfortunate proportions: big on the bottom, no boobs, no discernible waist, short legs. Those are just the cards she was dealt. But the fatter she gets, the more unfortunate her proportions get.

All three of her wedding dresses are just plain fug, and would be even on her younger, slimmer self. She keeps wearing the ugliest, dumpiest shit she can find, and I keep thinking that maybe she's doing it ironically—until she talks about what she's wearing (or has decorated her home with), and I remember that no, her taste really is this bad.

As or the groom, she only met him in January of this year. This is sure to end well (for us, at least).

Yeah she's always struck me as a rich Kelly Lenza; someone who's proud to be fugly because fuck us I guess until Leslie Odom is sitting across from you. Then you want to be Belle of the Ball.

Really surprised at the traditional white though. I really thought she'd go with a heinous shade of shit yellow that no one could look good in.
