As Late Night With Seth Meyers continues to draw an impressive set of guests, Lena Dunham recently performed as a special guest. In an odd yet entrancing bit, the Girls actress lip synced Chandelier by Sia. As a blonde-wigged Dunham danced about the stage and pulled some interesting facial expressions, the real Sia lay face down in a bunk bed singing the song into a pillow.

Chandelier Featuring Lena Dunham included many parts from Sia Furler’s [original music video](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apple-and-spike-jonze), such as cut outs, [interpretive dance moves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dance-it), face painting hand gestures and some toilet-paper streamers. The song ends showing Lena and Sia spooning on the top bunk.

While a little awkward to watch, you can’t turn your eyes away from the two talented stars.
