One Miss Lena Dunham casually posted a picture of her favorite vintage find of 2014 (a flowered baby blue jacket) on Instagram yesterday. But her Instagram followers—including me—were less interested in the jacket and much more interested in the sparkly new bauble on her left hand.
Lots of commenters posted the engagement ring emoticon {a personal favorite } and lots more pressed her for ring details, but Lena remained mum on her new bling.
I scrolled through her Instagram and Twitpics, and we haven’t seen a left-hand shot in a while. Her finger was definitely ringless when she hit up Bubby’s* restaurant in TriBeCa on December 20. She was out and about in NYC again three days later, but her sweater sleeves (on both hands) hung down almost to her fingertips, so if there was a ring, I couldn’t see it.
*That’s the exact restaurant Rory and I went to with friends after we got secret-married at City Hall in NYC. Coincidence? Um, yes. Let’s not get cuckoo here.
Lena has said—I forget, either in her book, which I loved, or in an NPR interview, which I also loved—that she and Jack Antonoff, her boyfriend since 2012, wouldn’t consider marriage until same-sex marriage was legal for everyone, but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t get engaged. (It is why they didn’t make my list of celebrity couples who’ll be engaged next though.) Also, Brangelina said the same thing, and we know how that ended.
Thoughts on Lena Dunham’s ring finger? Are Lena Dunham and Jack Antonoff engaged? Or am I getting overzealous about a random accessory?
