Girls is over and with it a deep, deep sadness that we won't be seeing as much of Lena Dunham on our screens.

Not only is Lena a talented writer and actress, but she's won us over in a multitude of ways; from her give-no-shits attitude, her openness about her struggles and her strong selfie game.

Here are 11 reasons to adore her...

  • She supports other women
  • She says it like it is, always
  • She's a super talented writer
  • She wears crazy beauty looks & gives no fucks
  • She's BFFs with Taylor Swift
  • She's open about her struggles
  • Her selfie game is strong
  • In fact, so is her entire Instagram
  • She gave us Girls
  • Her fashion choices are bold and brilliant
  • Her relationship is cute AF
  • She supports other women

    It's impossible to name all the times Lena Dunham has supported women and women's causes, be it in interviews, her writing work or on social media. Let us not forget the time she stuck up for friend Taylor Swift (more on that later) when her naked body was immortalised in a wax work for Kanye West's Famous music video.

    She said: "Seeing a woman I love like Taylor Swift (fuck that one hurt to look at, I couldn't look), a woman I admire like Rihanna or Anna, reduced to a pair of waxy breasts made by some special effects guy in the Valley, it makes me feel sad and unsafe and worried for the teenage girls who watch this and may not understand that grainy roving camera as the stuff of snuff films."

    When a tabloid magazine claimed to know Lena's 'slimming down tips', Lena responded by sharing her own alternative weight-loss tips on Instagram which included "anxiety disorder" and "An election that reveals the true depths of American misogyny." That's just one example of Lena's outspoken brilliance.

    Lena's collection of selfies on are one of the greatest things on social media, whether she's showing fans a new piece of clothing, her makeup look or getting naked for a bath pic. Just don't expect perfect lighting and carefully crafted angles - Lena does things her own way.

    Lena has been dating boyfriend Jack Antonoff, the lead guitarist of band Fun, since 2012 and they're cute as hell. They're constantly gushing about one another on social media, like when Lena wrote this after her love performed at the US Glamour Women of the Year Awards:

    "This beautiful, tolerant and loving man has been my partner for almost 5 years. Tonight he played America the Beautiful on acoustic guitar while we honored Hillary Clinton at the Glamour Women of The Year Awards. There is no challenge, great or small, he won't take on with every cell of his being and he lives to create moments of peace and connection. Lucky me."
