Amy Schumer Poses Almost Completely Nude for Pirelli Calendar
Amy Schumer stripped down for the latest Pirelli calendar.
The 34-year-old "Trainwreck" actress and comedian posed in barely there underwear and heels during the photo shoot shot by Annie Leibovitz, according to CNN.
This will be the themed calendar's 43rd year in existence with the intent of fusing celebrity, fashion and culture together to promote the Italian tire company.
In addition to Schumer, tennis star Serena Williams, writer Fran Lebowitz, "Selma" director Ava DuVernay, artist Yoko Ono, Chinese UNHCR goodwill ambassador Yao Chen, founder of Rookie magazine Tavi Gevinson and musician Patti Smith participated.
Leibovitz took photos of 13 women of "outstanding professional, social, cultural, sporting and artistic accomplishment" in her New York studio in July for this year's calendar, which will be released in 2016.
In past editions of the calendar, nudity has been featured, and while there's no full-on nudity in the forthcoming edition, Schumer is as close as she can get to fully naked, covering her breasts with an arm while holding a coffee cup and flashing the camera a silly smirk.
The actress tweeted her image on Monday, pairing it with the caption, "Beautiful, gross, strong, thin, fat, pretty, ugly, sexy, disgusting, flawless, woman. Thank you @annieleibovitz."
Leibovitz responded to Schumer's image, praising the comedienne for her unique sense of humor and style.
"I'm a great admirer of comediennes," Leibovitz said. "The Amy Schumer portrait added some fun. It's as if she didn't get the memo saying that she could keep her clothes on."
In Williams' portrait, she positions her sculpted body backward while slightly facing sideways to show of her profile with one leg in a lunge. She also poses topless and wears only her underwear.
Other subjects being photographed such as Chen, Smith and Gevinson all posed while fully clothed.
Leibovitz previously photographed a calendar of nudes for Pirelli back in 2000.
