The Reason Every Girl Needs Lena Dunham's Prom Dress in Her Closet

Lena Dunham's vintage Dior prom dress wasn't just special because it was passed down through generations. The actress and writer revealed that her chiffon cape look, first worn by her grandmother, fit everybody. In 2003, when Lena attended her junior prom, she swept up her hair to reveal a cape sleeve silhouette covered in delicate white florals.

Lena accessorized with a pendant necklace and drop earrings, but that didn't distract us from the fact that her knee-length number was so flattering. The open bell sleeves attracted attention to the slimmest part of Lena's body, and her plunging neckline fell just low enough. Read on for another look, then shop for pieces that fit the bill. It's safe to say you'll get a lot of use out of a demure dress like this one.
