Look sleek like Schumer in a jumpsuit by Roland Mouret
Along with Tina Fey, Amy Poehler and Sarah Silverman, Amy Schumer is one of our favorite funny women.
And not only that but she's a bit of a style icon too. The comedian and actress rocks labels like Victoria Beckham, Dolce & Gabbana, Stella McCartney, Isabel Marant, A.L.C., Alexander McQueen and Zac Posen. Phew!
And now we can add Roland Mouret to that high end list as Amy rocked this very cool jumpsuit from the designer as she performed on stage last night. We love the tailored waist, slightly flared legs and of course those sexy lace straps.
It's the perfect alternative to a little black dress so why not click (right) to buy it now at Net-a-Porter? Style with a pair of high heel sandals this party season and you'll be sure to receive envious glances.

About 200 people walked out of Schumer's show in Tampa on Sunday, when her jokes turned political. Above, the crowd at Madison Square Garden Tuesday night
At her show in Manhattan on Tuesday, Schumer addressed the scandal in Tampa just five minutes into her set - after a 'Trump Supporter Trigger Warning' message appeared on the screen behind her.
In the comedic bit, Schumer read a sarcastic apology letter written to the town.
'Dearest Tampa: I’m sorry you didn’t want me, a comedian who talks about what she believes in, to mention the biggest thing going on in our country right now. How could I think it was OK to spend five minutes having a peaceful conversation with someone with different views?
'After the show, I want you to know that I will go straight to a rehab facility that will teach me how to make all people happy - both the rich, entitled, white people who are gonna vote for him and the very poor people who’ve been tricked into it.
'And Tampa I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have said that he was an orange sexually assaulting fake college-starting monster. I shouldn't have said that. I will never again say that he is an orange, sexual assaulting fake college-starting monster. Never again,' she said.
Schumer turned serious at the end of the speech ,saying: 'Honestly I am so grateful you are all here. And I was grateful for the people in the audience that night, even the people who left. And I look forward to putting this all behind us in a couple weeks when Hillary Clinton is our motherf****** president,' Schumer said.
Ahead of the show Tuesday night, Schumer even posted a photo to Instagram promising a 'squeaky clean show' and called it her #tampaapologytour
The incident in Tampa happened Sunday, when about halfway through Schumer's set, her jokes turned politic.
At one point, she even brought an audience member up on the stage to defend his support of the Republican nominee.

At one point during the set, Schumer invited a Trump supporter onto the stage to explain why he was voting Republican
When the audience member said he was only supporting Trump because he 'can't trust Hillary,' Schumer dismissed him from the stage and told security to start escorting out anyone who was booing.
She then went on to call Trump an 'orange, sexual-assaulting, fake college-starting monster'.
It was at that point that the small - but vocal - contingent of Trump supporters started filing out of the arena, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
Also during the set, Schumer asked that anyone who had been the victim of sexual assault to stand up and dozens of people responded
Critics on Twitter found it funny that Trump supporters would have bought tickets to an Amy Schumer show in the first place
At another point in the show, she asked anyone who had been the victim of a sexual assault to stand up and dozens responded.
The move was to make a point about the numerous allegations of sexual misconduct levied against Trump in the past week.
This past August, Schumer revealed in her book 'The Girl with the Lower Back Tattoo,' that she had been the victim of sexual assault as well.
Also in the book, she bashes Tampa as a 'horrendous' city.

Schumer has been helping register voters ahead of the November 8 election. She's pictured above registering voters in Florida on Sunday
'I was on the road doing at tour and traveling between two horrendous cities: Fayetteville, North Carolina and Tampa, Florida. I'm not scared about writing that and making those people mad, because I know for a fact that no one who lives there has ever read a book. JKJKJKJKJK, but kind of not K,' an excerpt from the book reads.
Daily Mail Online reached out to Schumer for comment about the show, but did not receive a response.
Schumer has been supporting Hillary Clinton on the campaign, and has also been working to register voters.
Another cause close to her heart is gun control. Last year, two women were killed in a shooting during a screening of her movie Trainwreck in Louisiana. Since then, she has been working with her cousin, New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, to change gun laws in the country.
