Lena Dunham is selling her entire wardrobe for a very important cause

It's all on sale now.

The Girls star has been very vocal with her political opinions over the course of the last 12 months, and she’s not stopping now.

Lena is taking a strong stand with Planned Parenthood, the nonprofit organisation in the US that provides health care to over 2.5 million people, by selling off the contents of her wardrobe.

The New York Times is reporting that the actress is selling 169 items and donating all of the proceeds to the Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

“I realised I had been carrying around a lot of crap, both internally and externally,” she told NYT.

“I always thought I was going to hoard all my clothes for my future daughter, and now I understand, especially being a woman with a reproductive illness, I may end up with an adopted son, I may end up with a daughter who doesn’t identify with her gender at birth.

“You can’t live for the future that does not yet exist. I have to take all this good fashion fortune I’ve had and spread it.”

Lena has listed her clothes on RealReal today and will receive a 70 percent commission from the sales, the entirety of which she will donate.

If you do decide to purchase something from Lena’s wardrobe sale, you’ll also get a personal letter from her to prove its authenticity.

One of the items up for grabs? The killer gown she wore to the Met Gala this year for a cool $4,000.
