The Girls actress carried a simple canvas tote across her shoulder and opted to accessorize with a thick bracelet and matching silver hoop earrings.

Her short, chestnut brown hair was styled straight to her shoulders with a dramatic side part pushing tendrils into a curl above her forehead.

It was recently revealed that Dunham will portray a character named Gypsy in Quentin Tarantino’s latest flick Once Upon A Time In Hollywood.   

Lena may still be mourning the loss of her pet pooch Bowie who died weeks ago, in addition to the death of her cat Gia Marie back in June.

She also recently ended her longterm producing and writing partnership with Jenni Konner, with the pair set to go separate ways following the end of their joint HBO contract later this year.

Dunham rang in the new year as a single lady for the first time in nearly five years after announcing her breakup with musician Jack Antonoff.

Prior to the breakup, Dunham caught some controversy in November by defending former Girls writer Murray Miller who was accused of raping actress Aurora Perrineau (who was 17 at the time of the incident), saying in a statement with Konner that the situation was ‘one of the 3 percent of assault cases that are misreported every year.’

She later apologized for defending Miller and wrote on Twitter, ‘I naively believed it was important to share my perspective on my friend’s situation as it has transpired behind the scenes over the last few months. I now understand that it was absolutely the wrong time to come forward with such a statement and I am so sorry.’
