Amy Schumer's 2016 Emmys Outfit Is So Elegant

by Amanda Richards

Last year, the comedian, writer, and actor won her first Emmy. She scored more nominations this year, but even if she doesn't win this time around, Amy Schumer's 2016 Emmys Outfit gets the award for elegant simplicity.

Inside Amy Schumer, her sketch comedy series on Comedy Central, Schemer was nominated for lead actress in a comedy series and as a writer on the show. She also received nominations for her HBO comedy special, Amy Schumer: Live at the Apollo, and received a nod for guest actress in a comedy series hosting NBC's Saturday Night Live.

Needless to say, it could be an incredible night for Schumer, and an incredible night requires an incredible dress. Her Vivienne Westwood dress and Tom Ford shoes were an exercise in elegant simplicity, and the unfussy silhouette calls to mind her look from last year, an emerald green Zac Posen gown with a smoky eye and romantic waves in her hair.

Schumer also brought her favorite Emmys accessory with her to the red carpet this year: Her sister, Kim. The pair arrived at the 2015 Emmys together, and their not-matching-but-almost gowns this year were the epitome of twin emoji goals.

Before arriving on the red carpet, Schumer shared this hilarious image of her Emmys prep on Instagram, proof that even the biggest stars still find some humor in preparing their faces for the red carpet.

And because Amy Schumer is Amy Schumer, she gave the most epic answer when asked what she was wearing on the carpet. What was she rocking in addition to her Vivienne Westwood gown and Tom Ford heels? "An O.B. tampon," she said.
