Okay. Who convinced Lena Dunham to wear this dress and how can we make sure they advise her on every attire decision for the rest of her red carpet walking life?

There have been some major swings and misses style-wise for the HBO darling, but this Erdem dress erases at least a dozen of them, as far as we're concerned. Was she inspired by the more fashionable A-listers at the Golden Globes? Is co-star Allison Williams's couture queen status making her competitive? Or did she just finally read all the articles we've been writing about her for the past two years?

Whatever the motivation, we're thrilled to see the Girls star in a lovely lace frock that fits her figure perfectly. The fabric is thick but not frumpy and vintage-inspired but not old looking. Plus, the v-neckline done in a thick black draws focus to her strong chest, and those perfectly placed pockets give her the chance to make an impressive S-pose (the current celeb stance of choice).

Wait... Lena is appearing on her first Vogue cover this month... And with that, we know exactly who the style puppet master is behind this total 180. Thank you Anna Wintour. You've outdone yourself this time.
