In awe: Lena Dunham heaped praise on the Kardashian sisters on Late Night with Seth Meyers on Wednesday

The 29-year-old said: 'Sometimes we’ll Instagram about Khloe like once or twice a day, and people will be like, "Those Kardashians – that’s not what you represent."

'And we’re like, “Well, they’re like awesome entrepreneurs who are all about sisterhood and connection and so, yeah it is."'

She also said that the family is a 'role model' for the relationship she has with creative partner Jennifer Konner, who she appeared on the show with to celebrate the news they will be launching the publishing imprint Lenny together in 2017.

It is a spin-off from their weekly feminist Lenny Letter, which is funded by the media conglomerate the Hearst Corporation, which also promotes the product across websites of its magazines, such as Cosmopolitan.

Lena was particularly pleased when Khloe tweeted to promote their product. She said: 'We received the only praise from the only source. It meant so much because we both love her app.'

Such a heady commendation was enough to see her sidekick Jennifer exclaim that she is ‘the best Kardashian.’

Self-styled comic Lena added: 'That’s not throwing Kardashian shade, for us she’s just the peak.'

Lena also explained how she has to draw sketches for the actors on her show Girls to explain what they will be doing in sex scenes.

She said: 'I think it started out because we wrote them into our script and our actors would be like we don’t know what it is.

And when Seth I also have to say that before we put Jenni in the position she said “Is this going to hurt?”

Meanwhile Lena has also hit out at Glamour magazine for including her friend Amy Schumer in a 'plus-size' stars, insisting that such labels should not even exist.

She told People: 'I think fashion should be for women and it should be for all women.

'We did an interview recently on Lenny with Beth Ditto who just launched a line that is technically plus-sized but what she really cares about is just putting women in clothes they can feel good about because so often we've assumed women who aren't size zeros just want to put themselves in a tent.'

But she does not think that her famously friend will be fazed by her very public humiliation.

She said: 'I think Amy's entire thing is trying to sort of like break down barriers and be bold about her own opinions and what I think she was trying to do was stand up for women and say we're not supposed be categorized in this role, we're supposed to just be allowed to exist.'
