Lena Dunham Channels 'Reputation' Era at Taylor Swift's Eras Tour in London
Lena Dunham, known for her work on the critically acclaimed series *Girls*, recently made a rare public appearance, supporting her close friend Taylor Swift at the London leg of the singer's hugely popular Eras Tour. Dunham's outfit choice was a clear nod to Swift's 2017 album *Reputation*, further fuelling speculation about the upcoming re-release of the record.
In an Instagram Story post, Dunham shared a mirror selfie showcasing her concert ensemble. Sporting a black bodysuit emblazoned with the word "trash" in rhinestones, a black maxi skirt, and a black handbag, Dunham embraced the edgy aesthetic of *Reputation*. "Was in my rep era for @taylorswift at Wembley - have seen her over a dozen times and each one more magical than the next," Dunham wrote, adding that she danced "til I sweat through this bodysuit."
The "trash" inscription on Dunham's bodysuit is a direct reference to a key theme in *Reputation*, where Swift embraced her rebellious side and addressed the media scrutiny she faced. Dunham's choice of clothing, coupled with her evident enthusiasm for the concert, shows her strong support for Swift's musical journey and artistic evolution.
Alongside the stylish outfit, Dunham also debuted her newly black hair, a change she first revealed on Instagram in June. The bold hair transformation further adds to the overall "Reputation" vibe of her concert look, reinforcing her connection to Swift's darker, more assertive era.

The show also marked the seventh anniversary of Swift wiping her social media accounts, an action that kickstarted the *Reputation* era.
Dunham and Swift have been close friends for over a decade, with Dunham publicly expressing her admiration and protectiveness towards the singer. In a recent interview with *The New Yorker*, Dunham described Swift as "everything that you would want her to be," highlighting her kindness, devotion, and emotional depth.
While Dunham's appearance at the Eras Tour offers a glimpse into her strong bond with Swift, it also serves as a reminder of the singer's enduring impact on her fans and friends, who continue to celebrate her music and evolution.
