See Serena Williams and Amy Schumer's stunning nude portraits shot by Annie Leibovitz

Amy Schumer got naked on camera the best way Amy knows how to — with an honest sense of humor.
The comedian posed topless for Pirelli's 2016 Calendar, shot by Annie Leibovitz. She posted the image to Twitter with this frank caption: "Beautiful, gross, strong, thin, fat, pretty, ugly, sexy, disgusting, flawless, woman."

Leibovitz, who said in a press release she is a "great admirer of comediennes," elaborated on Amy's picture: "The Amy Schumer portrait added some fun. It’s as if she didn’t get the memo saying that she could keep her clothes on.”
In a behind-the-scenes video, Schumer described her experiences during the photoshoot: "I felt I looked more beautiful than I've ever felt in my life, and I felt like it looked like me."
The 43rd edition of "The Cal," distributed to VIPs and Pirelli clients, departed from its standard scantily clad top models this year. Leibovitz, who previously shot for Pirelli in 2000 (photographing nude ballerinas), instead focused on diverse, powerful and trailblazing women who looked "strong but natural," Leibovitz said in a previously released statement.
"The idea was not to have any pretense in these pictures and be very straightforward," she said.

Apart from Schumer, the calendar also features black-and-white simple studio photographs of Ava DuVernay, Tavi Gevinson, Patti Smith, Yao Chen, Fran Lebowitz, Yoko Ono and Serena Williams, among others.

5 Reasons Why US Open Champ Serena Williams Is The Sexiest Babe On The Tennis Block!

US Open 2014 champion Serena Williams is one of the top ranked Tennis star around. The American, who has won 18 Grand Slam titles, is also known to have a ‘fashion sense’ off the court as well.
After a triumphant 2014, Serena is currently sitting atop of the WTA rankings and with her powerful serve and on-court backhand, the former is looking to dominate the tennis scene for years to come. But even though with her ‘hardcore tennis’, Serena is known to be a ‘babe’ off it!
Appearing in many top brand ads and photo-shoots, the 33-year old carries a svelte figure that sends many tongues wagging. So what makes her so ‘hot and sexy’? If you care to know, well, we have listed down 5 reasons that make her the ‘oomph’ chick of the tennis court:
1 – Fashion figure
Be it the ear jewellery, lip stick, mascara or the American-styled ‘bling bling’; Serena Williams has it all! The 33-year sets up the Wimbledon alive, not only by her game play but also the dressing sense. Serena will be often seen in a white one-piece that grabs eye-balls from the paparazzi.

2 – Rivalries and off-the court ‘tamasha’
Serena Williams is one hot headed woman and her tempers are known to flare, if she doesn’t get her wish. In the 2009 US Open semi-final, the 33-year old screamed at a line umpire with cussing words. Moreover, two years later in the same tournament, Serena was seen swearing at the line umpire after the latter found her violating the tennis rules. Her off-court rivalry with Maria Sharapova is a big ‘hit’ amongst the tennis faithful.
3 – Chiselled and powerful body
Serena’s superb serve matched that with a forehand winner is down to her svelte figure and those muscular biceps. In the women’s arena, Serena is known to carry one of the ‘strongest’ body shape a woman can ever have. Try matching that, Caroline Wozniacki and Maria Sharapova!
4 – Parties with Hollywood celebs
And we lest forget that, Serena hails from the land of Hollywood. Yes that’s right, the land of Bruce Willis to Channing Tatum. Serena’s ‘friends zone’ include Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and Kelly Rowland.
5 – One woman army
Whenever Serena is on the tennis court, the racket does the talking (at times – mouth). The world number one is a fierce competitor and is known to bring down the opponent in limited given time.
