Lena Dunham Shows off Edgy Black Hair Transformation for a ‘Ghouls Night Out’

Lena Dunham has taken a trip to the dark side.

Dunham, 38, took to Instagram on Thursday, June 6, to show her midnight hair transformation. In the pic, she gazed into the camera while playing with her new black strands. Dunham’s tresses were parted down the middle and cut into long layers and curtain bangs. She styled her locks in a chic blowout and donned minimal makeup.

Dunham paired the coiffure with a moody ensemble featuring a charcoal latex dress and a black button-up coat. She accessorized with a leather bag, pointed-toe kitten heels and gold layered necklaces.

“The youths say Wednesday, but I’m old enough to know Vampira did it first,” Dunham captioned the post, referencing Wednesday Adams and popular 1950s character Vampira’s famous black locks. “My beloved @16arlington for ghouls night out … fresh armor care of @infinitealterity 🦇 ☠️ 🫁🖤.”
