Oscar-winner Jennifer has been hard at work reprising her role as blue-skinned mutant Mystique opposite ex-boyfriend Nicholas Hoult. She took a break from filming in July, though, for a fab girls' vacation with queen of comedy Amy Schumer. The fun-loving duo posted pictures of themselves forming a human pyramid with their friends dressed in a bikinis.

Trainwreck star Amy also shared a picture of herself riding on the back of a jet ski, being driven by Jennifer. "JLaw #maniac," she captioned the photo, which shows the comedian looking at the camera with a grin on her face as her fellow actress pal races across the water.
