But it would seem Elizabeth Banks' body double was so effective that it was difficult to even tell the two women apart.
Dashing about the set in Los Angeles, California, the 38-year-old actress paraded her incredible figure in a tiny yellow bodycon dress.
Seeing double: Elizabeth Banks and her body double got to work on the set of Walk Of Shame in Los Angeles, California, on Thursday
Double trouble: Aside from their different shoes, it was virtually impossible to tell the difference between Elizabeth (L) and her double
And with her double wearing exactly the same dress and having her blonde curls coiffed into exactly the same style, it was virtually impossible to see any differences between the two stars.
The new movie tells the tale of a woman who goes on a raucous night out, only to learn she has landed her dream job and has to race across town to be on air for 5pm.
It would certainly seem the actress was getting her pulse racing, with Elizabeth sprinting across the set in her miniscule dress and a somewhat unusual combination of brightly coloured trainers.

What's going on? At one point, Elizabeth seemed to be climbing into a hatch
Earlier this week, temperatures in LA may have dropped to their coldest point in 23 years (1°C), but in spite of the freezing weather, the actress turned up the heat on set in her bright dress.
For those women aware of the meaning behind the film's title Walk Of Shame, her skimpy outfit was definitely the appropriate choice for depicting those awkward post-night out commutes.
But clearly the brightness of the dress didn't radiate inwardly, for between takes the actress threw on a quilted dressing gown and joggers for warmth.
Not forgetting her feet, which later got to enjoy the comfort of winter boots when the camera wasn't rolling.

And when those times came for her to disrobe it was quite a shock, with the 38-year-old letting out a gasp and rubbing her arms.
Walk Of Shame tells the story of an aspiring news anchor, played by Elizabeth, who gets an audition at a Los Angeles station, which goes badly.
Believing she has lost the chance to get her dream job she embarks on an uncharacteristically wild night of partying.
She wakes up the next morning with no money, no car and no memory of what happened the night before apart from a message telling her she got the gig.

But don't mistake this for a female version of the Hangover.
Rather than retrace her steps from the night before, Elizabeth must make the 'walk of shame' across unknown LA territory in order to make it on air for the new job by 5pm.
The film sees the actress working again with Drillbit Taylor’s director Steve Brill - who also wrote the script - after starring in his ensemble comedy Movie 43.

The film was written and directed by Steve Brill and also stars James Marsden, who plays her love interest.
Writing on her website about taking on the role, the actress shared her excitement: ‘The best part is I get to shoot at home in LA!’
Elizabeth spent 2012 starring in the Hunger Games film, as well as appearing and producing comedy Pitch Perfect.
