She's never been short of body confidence despite not conforming to society's popular definition of beauty.

And Lena Dunham brazenly strips off in the latest issue of Harper's Bazaar, going topless in a photoshoot for the magazine's 'daring issue'.

The 29-year-old star is seen with her arms draped around her torso protecting her modesty as a sign hangs around her neck reading 'please do not handle'.

In stark contrast, Lena graces the front cover in an oversize turtle-neck sweater, covering half her face in the woolen garment.

In the accompanying interview the Girls actress and producer talks about her upcoming milestone birthday.

'I'm so excited about turning 30. I'm psyched about it because I think that being in your 20's – especially as a woman – there's an inherent tension.

'Ageism exists in all direction, but it isn't the sweet spot for being taken seriously in the workplace. I've been really lucky. I got to do a lot of things before I was 30 that most people don't.'

While she exudes a self-assured air, Lena revealed that she's not immune to online criticism.

'I’ve been put to bed for weeks from reading things about myself on sites that used to be considered feminist gospel.

'I love the Internet because it helped me discover everything that matters to me. But I also hate the internet because every piece of true pain I’ve experienced as an adult – with the exception of death in the family and breakups – has come from it.'

The Tiny Furniture star said her idea of cool is 'when you do whatever the f**k you want'.

'I don’t feel cool now, and I certainly don’t feel cool when I go to industry events. If I do feel cool, I see a picture of myself later and I’m like, "That was a disaster".

'What I do feel is a freedom from certain kinds of pressures. Now I don’t give a s**t if you know my jacket is from Ann Taylor.'

Meanwhile, Lena was seen at LAX on Wednesday with boyfriend Jack Antonoff as they prepared to jet out of the California city.

The actress is set to direct and executive produce a new half-hour pilot titled Max for HBO.

Actress Lisa Joyce of Billy & Billie fame will play the central character, a magazine writer in the 1960s who gets drawn into the feminist movement, Variety reports.

Lena's creative efforts will be assisted by Jenni Konner and Ilene Landress, who will also executive produce.
