Lena Dunham has become a devotee of Tracy Anderson's workout method, and it seems like all of her hard work is paying off.

For Thursday night's final premiere of her hit HBO show Girls, the 30-year-old showed off her toned arms in a black halter top featuring metal detail and paired it with a matching metallic skirt that hugged her slimmed down frame.

Lena, who frequently films nude scenes for the show, is a strong advocate for body positivity, and she started working out with Tracy a few years ago as a way to manage her anxiety.

Close as can be: Tracy, 41, posed for a photo with Lena and Girls showrunner Jenni Konner at the premiere

The creator and executive producer paired her futuristic look with a high ponytail and dramatic hot pink eye shadow, although the rest of her make-up was minimal.

Lena took some time to pose with the rest of the cast on the red carpet, including Allison Williams, Zosia Mamet and Jemima Kirke, who all showed off their personal styles with their choice of outfits.

Although she is never one to shy away from showing off her figure, the actress looked happy and confident as she posed with her hand on her hip during the red carpet appearance.

In some images, she turned to the side and looked over her shoulder at the cameras, while others see her cuddled up with her longtime boyfriend Jack Antonoff.

Interesting choice: Lena chose to go bold with bright pink eye shadow thickly layered around her eyes at the premiere

Lena also took a moment to strike a pose with Tracy, who was invited to the premiere.

She also showed off her physique in a crop top and calf-length skirt on Wednesday at the TimesTalks: A Final Farewell to the Cast of 'Girls' event.

And while she looks amazing, Lena's desire to make working out a regular part of her routine had nothing to do with losing weight or changing the shape of her body.

Lena spoke candidly about her newfound love of fitness and her workouts with Tracy during a 2015 ESPN interview in which she said the trainer's method is her 'main form of exercise'.

'It's a mix of aerobics, strength training and something that kind of resembles Pilates but that she created on her own,' she explained.

'What I like about it is that Tracy really listens to your body and what you're capable of. There's no weird pressure. It's honestly like if one day I have a UTI and I can't jump up and down, she'll say, "OK, we'll adjust."

'With Tracy it's not about getting everyone to look a specific way. It's about getting everyone to feel strong. And she uses the word "connected" a lot, which I really love. I love the idea of feeling connected.'

Lena also gave Tracy, 41, a big shout out on Instagram in 2015 when she shared a photo of herself in leggings and a sports bra before a workout.

'Promised myself I would not let exercise be the first thing to go by the wayside when I got busy with Girls Season 5 and here is why: it has helped with my anxiety in ways I never dreamed possible,' she explained.

'To those struggling with anxiety, OCD, depression: I know it's mad annoying when people tell you to exercise, and it took me about 16 medicated years to listen. I'm glad I did. It ain't about the ass, it's about the brain,' she continued.

'Thank you @tracyandersonmethod for showing me the light (and @bandierfit is where I bought my Florida mom inspired workout look.) #notsponsored #stillmedicated.
