Famous for her big boobs, in November 2014 Amy Adams showed plenty of skin and cleavage at the 2014 LACMA Art + Film Gala honoring Barbara Kruger and Quentin Tarantino presented by Gucci at LACMA in Los Angeles.

1 year earlier, her breasts became famous when she portrayed seductive con artist Sydney Prosser/Lady Edith Greensly in the crime film American Hustle.

Her slinky, bra-less wardrobe required confidence and “sort of a laissez-faire attitude about what your breasts are doing,” she shared in an interview with Vanity Fair in December 2013.

“It’s amazing what a tan can do. Because I’m not tan, so that was fun to play with,” Adams added about a scene that has her dancing in a white swimsuit.

Thanks to her boobs, the redhead beauty secured a waitress gig at American restaurant chain Hooters after graduating from high school.

“It was a great job out of high school,” she told Entertainment Tonight host Nancy O’Dell at the Golden Globe Awards in January 2015.

“I was a hostess at first and then I waited tables for a while and it was a great way to earn money for a car!”

“Well I was like 18, so everybody has the body at 18,” she added about her hourglass figure as a teenager.

Surprisingly, Amy did not use boob tape to keep her famous boobs in place while filming American Hustle.

“Good posture and very kind cast members who give me a little wink if you’re showing too much,” Adams revealed about her efforts to prevent a wardrobe malfunction.

“There was no tape! I never used tape,” Amy told The Cut at Peggy Siegal’s premiere after-party in December 2013. “It’s a credit to my posture. And good editing. And nudity clauses.”

At the 2014 LACMA Art + Film Gala, the then 40-year-old Enchanted actress donned a royal blue dress from the Gucci Spring 2015 Collection. It features shimmering antique beading and glass embroidery at the neckline and waist.

Isla Fisher’s lookalike accessorized with Melissa Kaye Jewelry ring and earrings and a Dana Rebecca Designs bangle. The outfit was completed with a pair of strappy open-toe sandals.
