'Girls'
star Lena Dunham has revealed that fashion critics don't influence her choices
when it comes to getting dressed for the red carpet. The actress says she
doesn't care if her outfits are labeled good or bad and instead looks to
designers to help her create custom pieces that she is personally happy with
before she shows up to events. She says that this way, she always feels
completely happy with how she looks and isn't worried about the
backlash: "I love clothes but I don't care about best dressed and
worst dressed lists. I actually get a perverse pleasure from being told I look
horrible. So I get designers I love to make me dresses I'm excited about and
then I wear them, and whatever the reaction is, I feel stoked."
Lena
adds that she has been cleaning and saving all of her most famous red carpet
pieces so she can one day pass them along to a daughter. She says that
otherwise they should be displayed in their own exhibition and she already has
quite a collection put together in storage: "I'm saving them for - I
hope - my future daughter. I dry clean them all... I have a serious dress
collection. If I don't have a daughter then someone had better do a museum
show, with squat, chubby mannequins."
Speaking
on how her un-retouched Vogue images were leaked, Lena says she was at first
frightened to see the photos: "I was kind of scared to see the
un-retouched images of me, I was like, maybe I’m delusional and I don’t look
how I think I look. And it was like—they smoothed a line here, and shaved a
line on my neck. It was the most minimal retouching. I felt
completely respected by Vogue…"
