Is this picture of a homely actress against a backdrop with "Glamour" printed over it an example of irony?

I'm not making the connection...

• Is (deliberately) looking middle-aged at 26 "ironic"?

• Looks like a dentist's receptionist got let onto the red carpet.

• Is she wearing a smock?

• She's cute, in a plain Jane kind of way. Fashion-wise....not so good. That smock with gold shoes!

• Wow, she's lost a lot of weight though. Good for her.

• She was only ever pudgy/doughy.

• Those are very glamorous shoes.

• Who is that frau?

• I don't know who that is... based on the comments, I'm going to guess that Lena Dunham of whatever her name is from "Girls"?

• That dress looks like a Home Ec project.

• The word "glamour" originally meant "illusion". A thousand years ago, people believed that fairies and witches could use "glamours" to take the appearance of normal humans, or to make dead leaves appear to be gold coins. As such, I think it's the perfect word to describe an ordinary girl made up to look like a starlet (except in this case).
