Lena Dunham wears orange silk dress as she joins business partner Jenni Konner for a talk about anxiety and OCD
Lena Dunham joined forces with her business partner Jenni Konner for an emotional evening.
The Girls actress and creator was in New York to attend Growing Up With Anxiety: Lena Dunham and Dr. Anne Marie Albano in Conversation With Jenni Konner.
She wore a knee length orange printed silk dress, which she teamed with a black blazer and a beaded choker necklace.
Her short mousy brown locks were styled in a side part with a patterned hair clip placed by her fringe.
She went for a natural make-up look and opted to wear a pair of printed flat shoes.
The author of Not That Kind of Girl is at the event to talk about her experience with anxiety and OCD, which began at a very young age.
The 30-year-old is joining Dr. Anne Marie Albano for the discussion.
The talented actress has always been vocal about her struggles as a child and regularly writes articles on her website, Lenny Letter, discussing the issue.
She wrote a very candid article for The New Yorker about growing up with anxiety.
'Every morning when I wake up, there is one blissful second before I look around the room and remember my many terrors,' she said.
She said her anxiety got so bad she was scared to even eat food as she thought she was going to die:
'My parents are getting worried. It’s hard enough to have a child, much less a child who demands to inspect our groceries and medicines for evidence that their protective seals have been tampered with.'
