Amy Purdy glows on the blue carpet at Teen Choice Awards
Paralympian Amy Purdy played up her svelte frame in a cold-shoulder top when she swung by The Galen Center for the Teen Choice Awards.
The Las Vegas-born 37-year-old, whose legs were amputated below the knee at the age of 19, arrived at the Sunday night event in a black set of prosthetics.
Her dress for the show had been hemmed at about mid-thigh and featured red, pink, white and green floral and leafy patterns strewn across a black background.

The sleeves, which were cinched in at the cuffs, were sheer, and a bit of solid black fabric round her neck were attached to black ribbons dangling down her front.
She accessorized with a simple black clutch that got a bit of gold-colored metallic trim, as well as with earrings, and her wavy hair had been gathered back.
Per her website, she underwent septic shock at 19 years old and was hospitalized, ultimately losing not only part of her legs but also her spleen and kidneys.

At Sunday's awards show, Victoria Justice took the stage early on and revealed that Miley Cyrus - who per the awards' website was scheduled to win the Ultimate Choice Award that night - 'couldn't make it' to the night's festivities.
The Ultimate Choice Award is the greatest honor out of all the illustrious Teen Choice Awards, of which Miley's previously won 18, as the Associated Press have noted.
In fact, many who won awards - including Beyonce, Ariana Grande and Zac Efron - hadn't actually turned up to The Galen Center for the broadcast ceremony.
