When people express reservations about Instagram, they often argue that it's inauthentic and used – especially by celebrities – to present an unrealistic and heavily curated version of life.
But while this week's celebrity Instagram digest features a few super-stylised pics, it also has photos that are real, powerful and heartwarming. Lena Dunham in particular has used the platform this week to share an important message about self-worth.
