Jezebel Misfire: The Significance Of Jenna Lyons' 'Girls' Cameo

  • 26 February 2014

Who else let out a squeal of delight when J.Crew Creative Director Jenna Lyons popped up as Hannah’s GQ editor in HBO sitcom, Girls? Jenna is one of the baddest fashion gals about, and has never been afraid to take risks in every walk of her life (one of the main reasons we love her so much). Jenna has previously admitted that she is a fan of Girls, explaining that even though she receives over 200 emails a day she still manages to keep up to date with episodes of the hit show.

Jenna’s scenes for Girls were filmed before the Jezebel/Lena Dunham debacle, yet with uncanny foresight, Dunham predicts how the world perceives a fashionista views a ‘normal’ woman. Lyons’ character disdainfully looks at Hannah and her snack collection before snidely remarking “I see you found the snack room”.

Jenna and Lena’s real life alliance conjoins their two worlds, silently offering up a huge ‘Scr*w you!’ to Jezebel. The site, for their sins, will also be reminded of their embarrassing and misdirected mishap each time Lyons appears in the show (which we hope will be regularly from now on).
