Amy wowed in in her red hot dress, matching the scarlet number to her lipstick, and styling her blonde locks into glam, glossy waves.  

Her red carpet appearance came just a couple of days after the movie star spoke out about her body image at a Goodwill of California event.

'Some nights I just didn’t even want to go on stage because I couldn’t find an outfit I looked good in,' the Trainwreck actress admitted during the interview which aired on Friday.

In an accompanying interview with Maria Shriver, the actress said, 'It’s been a struggle for me my whole life, especially just being in the entertainment industry, standing on a stage in front of people.'

'Some nights I just didn’t even want to go on stage because I couldn’t find an outfit I looked good in,' the Trainwreck actress said at a Goodwill of California event.
