Amy Schumer is an American actress known for her movie, "Trainwreck."

Amy Schumer made daring poses for Annie Leibovitz to capture in camera as the comedian was included in Pirelli's 2016 calendar.

The 66-year-old photographer Leibovitz was responsible for making the best out of Schumer's fantastic figure and attitude during the shoot.

Likewise, the 34-year-old Schumer was only wearing underwear when Leibovitz took the photos, according to People. Schumer even joked on an Instagram post the American portrait photographer must have found capturing images of Schumer to be an absolute delight.

The stand-up comedian was chosen by Pirelli as one of the 13 most outstanding women of 2015. The women were picked by the Italian tire brand based on the ability of each individual to have made a great, positive impact in the world, whether through social, cultural, artistic, sporting or professional contributions.

Pirelli also included Patti Smith, musician Yoko Ono, blogger Tavi Gevinson, Iranian artist Shirin Neshat, Chinese UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Yao Chen, Natalia Vodianova, Kathleen Kennedy, Agnes Gund, President Emerita of the New York Museum of Modern Art, Serena Williams, writer Fran Lebowitz, Mellody Hobson and filmmaker Ava DuVernay.

Moreover, the aforementioned women were photographed by Leibovitz for elegant, black-and-white portraits that served as contrasts to the typically sexual shots taken for the previous Pirelli calendars.

In other news, Schumer was at the sold-out Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on Dec. 5, Saturday, to provide people with laughter while discussing racism, gun violence and Hillary Clinton, according to Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Schumer's performance lasted for about 65 minutes and the comedian was humorously curious about being unable to find a black person at the Consol Energy Center. Eventually, the comedian found one and joked that people should stop pointing to every black person they find at the event

In addition, Schumer criticized Women's health magazine for having articles that are supposed to help women feel like they have already eaten last week just to maintain a physical shape that would be deemed as beautiful and fit.

Schumer had a new comedy special titled "Amy Schumer Live at the Apollo" that was released on Oct. 17 on HBO.
