She recently starred in a bold photo spread for Nylon.

And Lena Dunham has shared with her followers a daring outtake image from the retro-inspired shoot.

The image, which was taken by Sofia Sanchez and Mauro Mongiello, was of the 30-year-old in a brown bathing suit that showed off her midriff as she laid on the floor and raised her hips into the air. 

Bold: Lena Dunham shared with her followers yet another daring image from the retro-inspired shoot on Thursday 

Arms splayed overhead, the actress gave the camera a dreamy expression.

Having now shared numerous images with her social media followers from the shoot, Lena declared herself 'practically an Instagram model' in the photo's caption. 

'Polaroid by @sofiaandmauro (never felt so seen! Have also never posted this many pics from a shoot, I'm practically an Instagram model now) - open hip flexors by @bethcooke_flow - glazed expression by Kate Moss's ghostly imprint on my soul,' she wrote in the image caption.    

Lena bared practically all - literally and metaphorically - in her new interview with the February issue of Nylon.

Lena Dunham shows off her flexibility in the latest issue of Nylon magazine, posing up a storm in a range of colorful looks.

In one shot she sports a statement look, featuring a purple cut out swimsuit teamed with a green floral jacket, neon pink socks and a pair of teal cross strap suede heels.

Whilst we may not be emulating this eclectic look anytime soon, we are definitely coveting Lena's shoes!

With their red soles they're instantly recognizable as being by Christian Louboutin, we love the jewel tone combined with the strappy silhouette and round toe which gives them a retro feel.

The Girls' creator is the magazine's cover star and, once again, proves when it comes to being a Hollywood starlet, she is not that type of girl.

In the interview Lena reveals her fears and hopes now that Donald Trump rather than her Presidential pick Hilary Clinton is going to be in office.

Lena - who often demands magazines do not use Photoshop on her images - did also model her outfits with more traditional poses as well. 

Did not hold back: The Girls' creator is the magazine's cover star and, once again, proves when it comes to being a Hollywood starlet, she is not that type of girl posing in a myriad of risque positions that are not for the faint-hearted 

Not shy: In two of the images - one on the floor and one on a chair - the star poses with her leg pulled up the air while wearing a swimsuit

Still nasty: The actress' Nylon cover story is titled, 'Lena Dunham, Nasty As She Wanna Be'

While the images of the star with her legs in the air are probably not everyone's cups of tea - Lena does not care.

The star told Nylon that she has learnt to not be so concerned about what people think of her.

'The older I get, the more I'm like, ''I don't f**king know what anybody is seeing when they look at me,'' and the coolest thing is it's not my problem.

'That's an interesting thing. It kind of doesn't matter. I used to think the worst thing in the world could be for someone to have a thought about you that you didn't have yourself. Now I'm like, ''Have at it, guys!''

'Not my problem': While the images of the star with her legs in the air are probably not everyone's cups of tea - Lena does not care, as she is learning not to need everyone to like her

Gets them talking: When it comes to the millennial marvel, people certainly have a lot of options which have ranged from light-hearted criticism to all-out threats, especially due to her support for Hilary Clinton during the presidential campaign

And when it comes to the millennial marvel, people certainly have a lot of options which have ranged from light-hearted criticism to all-out threats, especially due to her support for Hilary Clinton during the presidential campaign.

As a feminist and a publicly declared Nasty Woman, she had long been a target for alt-right trolls on the internet and, post Donald Trump's win, she was besieged by threats from her now empowered-opponents.

However, Lena said she does her best to understand these people: 'So much of what we're dealing with in America isn't just misogyny, isn't just racism, but is also this unspoken constant tug between people living on different sides of the class divide.

'You come in and you're like, ''I went to Oberlin. My godparents are both art critics. I was raised at a women's action coalition meeting,'' and that's repugnant to them on a thousand levels. 

'There's a sense of snobbery or intellectualism that feels like it's the enemy of patriotism and also the enemy of the working class, which is by no means where I ever wanted to position myself.'
