One more "hell, yeah!" for the ever-growing list of rockin' Amy Schumer moments.

The comedian has scored yet another magazine cover, the latest being one of the eight covers Elle magazine put out for its "Women in Hollywood" Issue.

The November cover features Schumer in a sultry state, wearing an unbuttoned white shirt with a black bra that features just the right amount of cleavage for the date night that comes after owning the table during a big-deal meeting.

The 34-year-old sports her fave, a smoky eye, and her hair is styled into morning-after waves.

Inside the issue, Schumer's Trainwreck co-star Brie Larson says of her friend, "She brings to light the parts of our lives that we usually conceal. She's using comedy to break down boundaries."

Schumer shares the November spotlight with seven other major stars of all ages that are not just gorgeous on the outside but also forces to be reckoned with in their field.

There's really no guess work involved as to why Dakota Johnson scored a cover, and the same goes for Salma Hayek, Kate Winslet, Alicia Vikander, Carey Mulligan, Ava Duvernay and Gena Rowlands—who positively stuns at 85, by the way.

Within Johnson's feature, Fifty Shades director Sam Taylor-Johnson gushes about the woman she chose to play Anastasia Steele.

"There had to be a sense of wide-eyed, excitable curiosity, but grounded in a worldliness. She had to have an inner strength that would carry her through the darkest of moments," she says. "I knew straightaway that Dakota was the girl."

As for Johnson, she knew she had to bring a sense of humor in order to make Anastasia work for the audience.

"I needed Anastasia to be funny," Johnson reveals in her Elle interview. "If you can't laugh during a movie like that, you're f--ked. Literally. You need to have something that everyone can relate to."
