Body confident Lena Dunham defies her critics as she wears snake print leggings and black crop top to the gym
She's been outspoken about her desire to accept her body, flaws and all.
And Lena Dunham showed her body confidence as she hit the gym in Los Angeles on Friday in a pair of skin tight snake print leggings and a black crop top.
The 29-year-old was talking on her phone as she exited the gym, clutching her leather purse and a shopping bag from American Apparel.

Lena, we love you. You wear what you want and do so confidently! These snakeskin print leggings may not be your cup of tea, but they sure are Lena's.
Ms. Dunham paired her look with a black cropped top, camo green sneakers and lime green high socks. The ensemble is quirky to say the least, but very fitting for the gym.

The actress also wore a pair of striped black-and-green socks, animal print trainers, and little makeup.
Lena has previously praised how working out has positively impacted her mental health.
In April, the actress-writer posted a photo of herself in sporty attire on Instagram, where she explained in the caption that exercise 'has helped with my anxiety in ways I never dreamed possible.'

'It ain't about the a**, it's about the brain,' she added.
Lena's weekend outing comes not long after she discussed her decision to distance herself from Twitter because of mean-spirited comments.
During an interview with Re/Code Decode, Lena went in depth on her experiences on social media as a public figure.

The writer and actress recently posted snap of herself in her boyfriend Jack Antonoff's underwear, resulting in massive backlash from Twitter users.
One Twitter user, under the handle donnythemick, commented: '@lenadunham why would you post this pic on social media? nobody wants to see all that fat nasty blubber. have some respect for your body and show some self control at the dinner table for christ's sake. go on a diet ya fat pig!'
Speaking Re/code's Kara Swisher, Lena said of the experience: 'I thought it was funny, I had to wear my boyfriend's underwear because my dog literally ate all my underpants.

'It wasn't a graphic picture - I was wearing men's boxers, and it turned into the most rabid, disgusting debate about women's bodies, and my Instagram page was somehow the hub for misogynists for the afternoon.'
She then discussed her relationship to Twitter: 'I don't look at Twitter anymore. I tweet, but I do it through someone else. I don't even know my Twitter password, which may make me seem like I'm no longer a genuine community user.
'I really appreciate that anybody follows me at all, so I didn't want to cut off my relationship to it completely, but it truly wasn't a safe space for me.
Taking a stand: During an appearance at Vanity Fair's New Establishment Summit in San Francisco last week, Dunham continued discussing her feelings on Instagram and Twitter
'I think even if you think you can separate yourself from the kind of verbal violence that's being directed at you, that it creates some really kind of cancerous stuff inside you, even if you think, "Oh I can read like 10 mentions that say I should be stoned to death." That's verbal abuse. Those aren't words you'd accept in an interpersonal relationship. […] For me, personally, it was safer to stop.'
'I still man my own Instagram,' she explained. 'It's a more positive community. It's really immediate. I take a picture, I post it, I move on.'
The actress continued to discuss her stance when she appeared at Vanity Fair's New Establishment Summit in San Francisco on Tuesday.
'The presence of images and the lack of a word limit on responses creates a kind of healthier and slightly less toxic dialogue than you might find on other parts of the Internet,' she said at the event.
