Suits you! Lena Dunham looks dapper in trousers and a jacket as she receives honour at ArtsConnection benefit in New York City

Lena Dunham was honoured at a benefit event in New York City on Monday and suited up for the occasion.

The 30-year-old Girls creator wore a grey two-button coat with matching trousers to the ArtsConnection benefit.

The New York City native wore a black and tan buttoned-up blouse and completed her look with black shoes.

Lena was joined at the event by her Girls co-star Andrew Rannells, 37, who looked spiffy in a dark blue suit.

Former Christie's contemporary art head Amy Cappellazzo also was honoured at the benefit along with Lena.

Amy's private consulting firm Art Agency Partners that she co-founded was acquired earlier this year for $50 million by Sotheby's, according to Artnet News.

Lena comes from a family of artists as her mother Laurie Simmons is an artist and photographer and her father Carroll Dunham is a painter.

Steal from the boys with Lena's suit by Creatures of the Wind

We're gonna file this one under: perfection.

Where would we be without this sage, mystical woman of expert style and advice?

Among many things that Lena has taught us, like the importance of a good nap and learning to accept ourselves, she has also taught us that being sexy is a feeling and not always a way of dressing.

Which is why we were rendered breathless upon clapping eyes on these photos of our girl wearing this smart, tailored custom look by Creatures of Comfort.

We've always been a sucker for women's suiting and Lena burned up our sweet spot with this tonal grey look.

So let this be the five-hundred and fifth lesson we learn from Lena and opt for a grey suit this Spring. While hers was a bespoke number, that won't stop from looking for something similar on the virtual high street.

That being said, why don't you steal from the boys and look like a GIRL with one of our alternatives below?
