Amy Schumer makes her own kind of fashion statement!
The Life and Beth star, 40, kept it cool for the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala Monday night, hitting the iconic steps in a double-breasted black coat dress with an open neckline by Gabriela Hearst. She accessorized with cat-eye sunglasses and strappy black heels.
Keeping her shades on as she chatted with La La Anthony for Vogue's official red carpet livestream, Schumer (who has previously dissed fashion's biggest night, which she attended in 2016 and 2017) joked that style watchers couldn't wait to see what she was wearing.
"Everybody's always at home [asking] 'What is Amy going to wear this year?' They're on the edge of their seats," the comedian teased. "When Gabriela Hearst says she's going to dress you, you put your Spanx on, right over your C-section scar and you get on that carpet, am I right? Am I right?"

Amused, Anthony, 39, asked Schumer to define what the evening's "Gilded Glamour" white-tie dress code meant to her. The Trainwreck actress simply replied, "Vibrator."
When asked to comment on what she was looking forward to inside the event, she deadpanned, "I'm also here for the drinks."
Schumer was among the first to arrive at the 2022 Met Ball, held on the first Monday in May for the first time in two years after being pushed due to COVID concerns.
