Lena Dunham, the American actress and writer renowned for her role as Hannah Horvath in the TV series Girls, stands at a height of 5 feet 3 ¼ inches (160.7 cm).

In an interview with the Daily Mail, she once disclosed her height and weight, stating, “I’m 5-foot-3 and 150 pounds…statistically the average American female body.” Her height is slightly below the average height for an American woman, typically around 5 feet 4 inches (162.6 cm).

In her own words, Lena humorously remarked that in her family, where everyone is around 5 feet 10 inches tall with brown hair and glasses, she stands at 5 feet 3 and a half inches, playfully describing herself as “waddling behind them.” Her unique stature adds a comical twist to their family portraits.

Lena Dunham’s Glamour Red Carpet Misstep: A Fashion Faux Pas

There’s a lot to love about Lena Dunham, but unfortunately, her style isn’t one of them.

The “Girls” star disappointed fashion critics with her attire at the 2016 Glamour Women of the Year Awards, and we have to say that we weren’t surprised at all.

The 30-year-old didn’t look great, even in a custom-made Jonathan Cohen belted dress. The garment was somewhat ill-fitting and unflattering on her. Her bad posture did not help the situation either.

To top it all off, Lena opted for a pair of black Paul Andrew “Zenadia” pumps that didn’t add any appeal to her ensemble. The shoes on their own, however, were fabulous.
