Amy Schumer's Instagram followers might have gotten quite the shock earlier this week, after the comedian appeared to have suddenly erased all but one of her posts from the last few years.
Despite joining the snap-sharing app back in 2012, the 44-year-old's online profile now only shows a single post, which sees the Trainwreck actress posing in a Valentino Red Silk-Wool Heart Mini Dress paired with Chanel shoes.
To complete the look, Schumer wore her hair hanging loose in straight golden tresses with no jewellery and a fairly natural make-up look to match.
She captioned the photo dump, which features four snaps: "Back on my staircase bullshit again. @gitabass makeup and pics @tousledbyjae hair @maisonvalentino hooking a sister up. @chrisgiarrizzo for the @voelhair @chanelofficial shoesies @annaspraytanner.

"I actually left my house tonight. Who’s proud? I’m feeling good and happy."
Schumer then revealed: "Deleted my old pics for no reason!"
Hours before the major announcement, the comedian posted a photo of her very first Instagram post to her Instagram Stories with the overlay text echoing: "My first ever insta post. I'm gonna erase them all cause why not?"
Fans have since rushed to the comments to shower the actress with compliments with one person writing: "Ok smokeshow!!!!!"
"You look amazing Amy!!!!" beamed a second, while a third chimed in: "Red looks great on you dear!"
Another gushed: "Ok legz!"
And a final Instagram user echoed: "Gorgeous!"
Schumer's been very open about her weight loss journey over the years.
Speaking on The Howard Stern Show in January, she revealed she'd stopped taking Ozempic after noticing a series of 'red flags' in her general health.
"I tried Ozempic almost three years ago, and I was, like, bedridden," she told viewers.
"I was like, vomiting — and then you have no energy. But other people take it and they’re all good. God bless them."
Then, in an Instagram video shared in March, Schumer revealed she'd had a better encounter with Mounjaro (tirzepatide), which she was prescribed recently alongside estrogen and progesterone for perimenopause, adding: "It’s not covered by insurance unless you have diabetes or severe obesity, which most of the internet thinks I have.
"But I’m having a really good experience with it, and I wanted to keep it real with you about that.
"That’s all I have to say, and I’m not gonna talk any s**t, I’m not gonna stir the pot."
