Aubrey Plaza was comfortable wearing a sexy, skin-bearing dress to the 2023 SAG Awards for one reason — her breasts.

The actress, 40, attended the event in a memorable bronze sequin Michael Kors gown featuring a front-center cutout and a crisscross neckline that showed off her toned midriff. The look was paired with Mouawad jewelry and metallic Jimmy Choo sandal heels.

Although eye-catching, Plaza shared during a Wednesday, Sept. 11, appearance on Sirius XM’s Howard Stern Showthat she didn't think about it "so much."

"They just gave me that dress, and I put it on. I wasn't really thinking about it so much. I swear to God," said The White Lotus star.

After host Howard Stern asked, "You don't look in the mirror and go,' You know, a little bit of my boob is hanging out on the bottom. Maybe I don't want to do that?' " Plaza said she doesn't see it as an issue because of the size of her breasts.

"My boobs aren't really like... If I had giant knockers, maybe I'd be like, 'Whoa. I gotta keep these things...,' " Plaza began.

While Stern said she looked "really hot," Plaza said she didn't understand why people were buzzing about it online.

"Is this different from any other dress I wear?" she recalled wondering. "I didn't think that dress specifically was like, 'Woo. Check it out. I'm gonna really make a splash here with this underboob. ' "
