She doesn't look well and who the heck is this guy?!

The baby of doll dress and the smeared makeup is so scary looking. Like she's doing 90s grunge but it's her wedding day and can't pull it off.

And did you catch in the slideshow Luis's best friend is someone named Emma who gave Lena a bedazzled "L"? Sounds like Luis and Emma have something going on the side

I suspect it's Emma Chitty, a creative director on most of his projects. Everything about this is so weird.

Yes! Emma Chitty. What's their deal

Interesting that she and Taylor Swift are friends. Normally Taylor would be the type of person Lena would slam.

Lena seems to never want to make herself attractive. Like, why did her hair look so messy at her wedding? I can understand people who do a black wedding dress and are unconventional, but they all seem to try to look good in their own way. Not her.

“This is part of a very specific vision that I had for this wedding. A vision from an Edward Sharpe video, and it is mine.”

I don't care for her little girl aesthetic. I'd appreciate her more if she dressed her age.

I think her whole persona is based on me me me!!!

I dislike her personality and the stuff with her sister is reprehensible.

I don't care what she dresses like or looks like.

I have compassion for anyone with a chronic pain condition.

She looks terrible. You can be heavier and still have a healthy look. She does not.

And she would physically look much better to me if she was a better person.

So much cringe!

There are a few pretty predictable diseases they have, mostly self-diagnosed, like fibromyalgia, mast cell syndrome, myalgic encephalitis, and Ehlers Danlos.

Count me skeptical.

Wow this is both fascinating and disturbing. I had no idea! Why do they use “spoonies” - what does it mean? I’m afraid to google!

Spoonie comes from a blog someone with an "invisible" chronic disease wrote that compared her energy levels to a finite amount amount (measured in spoonfuls)of energy she has for a day. Everyday things would take up so many spoonfuls that varied by the day, some of which would be taken up by mid-day or so, so nothing would be left for the rest of the day. https://www.healthline.com/health/spoon-theory-chronic-illness-explained-like-never-before#1

To the person who didn't like what I said about being skeptical about the claim of Ehlers Danlos, I actually have a niece with this disease; she was diagnosed at age seven after hundred of stitches from her skin breaking open from the slightest injury and appropriate genetic tests. It is serious.

But most of the young women in this subculture claiming to have ED are self diagnosed. If they have anything at all it is some hypermobility, without a genetic basis and which suddenly became a problem as young adults with no previous history.

The same self-diagnosis applies to other illnesses. They are constantly seeking medical care and reviling the medical community for not recognizing how sick they are. Some of the illnesses they claim to have do have clear objective medical tests (which they refuse to take) but most are diagnosed on a clinical basis like chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and migraines, making them easier illnesses to take on with less criticism for not taking the objective tests. Interestingly, many are from the UK and are getting medical services under the NHS.

They take emergency room glam photos and post them on their Instatagrams; order feeding tubes from shady online sites and take pictures of themselves with them, with points for ending up in the hospital with infections; and decorating Christmas trees with their empty pill bottles. Wheelchairs and canes are popular photo props.

Many in this community do have a history of eating disorders. Some crowd fund to pay for their medical care. There is at least one site where other young women dissect and refute claims made by internet popular "Munchies" (for Munchhausen syndrome).

Fascinating!

Is dysautonomia part of this? I know of a couple of people recently who got this diagnosis and it seems a bit vague.

It’s telling that Lena Dunham’s boyfriend has zero pictures of her on his Insta.

He has some. It seems to be more focused on music promotion though.

I agree that her wedding looks are very unflattering. I just don't think she knows how to dress herself in a way that looks good. I think she did a little too much thinking about how she wanted her wedding to look and what the influences would be and maybe not enough thinking about what kind of wedding dress would put the focus on her relationship and her face.

I hope she's healthy. Just because she gained some weight doesn't mean she's not. She's certainly not the only person who gained some weight during covid.

These photos are painful to look at.

Idk, would you put up with her? I think women tend to dislike her more.

I think it’s the bangs.
