Scarlett Johansson glammed up to attend the glitzy New York premiere of The Phoenician Scheme, which was held at Jazz at Lincoln Center in Manhattan’s Columbus Circle on Wednesday.
The 40-year-old former child star slipped her phenomenal 5ft3in figure in a coral-colored strapless Saint Laurent gown as well as a lariat necklace and rings from Taffin Jewelry selected by stylist Kate Young.
Hairstylist David von Cannon finally let Scarlett’s highlighted wavy mane down rather than scraping it into a severe bun like usual.
Make-up artist Hung Vanngo brought out Johansson’s bushy brows and natural bee-stung pout with minimal cosmetics.
The two-time Oscar nominee has a small role as a deadpan ‘titan’ character only known as ‘Cousin’ in the espionage black comedy, which hits limited US theaters this Friday before a wider US/UK release on June 6.
