What Would She Wear: Scarlett Johansson

Lately, like many other people in the world, we've had Scarlett Johansson on our minds. But unlike the fanboys who are thrilled by her upcoming part in Iron Man 2, we're excited about her recent role as the face of Dolce & Gabbana's new beauty line, The Make Up icon. In regards to the latter, while the products are absolutely amazing (watch this space for more details), the outfits Johansson wears while promoting said collection are just as noteworthy. Her recent spate of event-ensembles is truly inspiring, whether the pieces are demure (like the Dolce & Gabbana Summer Flowers Silk Top ($330) she wore for a promotional appearance at Selfridges in London) or devastating (such as the lace-and-mesh Christian Louboutin for 3.1 Phillip Lim booties she wore at Comic-Con). In honor of these enviable looks, we've devoted today's content to Johansson, as we play another round of What Would She Wear?



When dreaming up Johansson-inspired outfits and looking for items we imagine she'd love, we first had to decide which of the actress' many style-personas we wanted to channel. These days, her red-carpet look is usually comprised of a minimalist ensemble—a fitted sheath dress here, a décolletage-bearing blouse there—that is tantalizingly enriched with a dynamite accessory or two. Additionally, she almost always pays respect to old-Hollywood, whether that's with a sexed-up pair of stilettos or simply by playing up her hourglass curves with a sharp belt.

Of course, no matter how flawless her frock is, a hint of Johansson's free-spirited side always manages to peep through the movie-star glamour. Whether it's a glimpse of a brightly colored inner-forearm tattoo or flash of fluorescent polish, these small details hint at a rich off-duty life and suggest yet another side to her personal style.

All in all, these many facets are a lot to consider, but we were up for the challenge nevertheless! In fact, we found some excellent pieces that are perfectly in keeping with all aspects of the starlet's current style, so read on for all our discoveries and why they embody the spirit of Scarlett Johansson.

1. Alexander Wang Leopard Print Silk Blouse ($500)
We can completely envision Johansson emphasizing her sex-kitten style by wearing this animal-print blouse, designed by fashion-world darling Alexander Wang. The prim-and-proper Peter Pan collar contrasts nicely with the sassy pattern and would look chic tempered with a ladylike pencil skirt!

2. Elizabeth and James Open-Toe Ankle Boots icon($350)
Johansson is famous for her femme-fatale looks and her ability to wear some seriously risqué fashions. It is no wonder, then, that we think these lingerie-inspired booties from Elizabeth and James would be the perfect fit for the actress/singer. The metal-spike heel adds a little bit of edge to the pretty lace paneling and would make quite a statement paired with a simple dress or even just stovepipe jeans!

3. Paul & Joe Saphir Mini Skirt ($315)
Our muse du jour embraces bold hues—though usually in small doses—so we figured that this rich violet skirt would be the perfect way to incorporate Johansson's color preferences. The skirt is a relatively high-waisted style, which means it's an ideal selection for highlighting a feminine silhouette.

4. nubar Nail Lacquer ($7.50) in Green Tea
Though this shade might not seem like an obvious choice, we think it works for a number of reasons. First of all, green polish had serious presence on the fall runways (jade at Chanel, forest at Vena Cava). Secondly, we imagine that Johansson would approve of nubar's cruelty-free vegan formulas. Finally, the quirky color is just the sort of slightly subversive subtle touch we've come to expect from the actress.

5. Diane von Furstenberg Marlene Clutch ($550)
The second we saw this new clutch from DVF, we knew it would be a natural fit with today's subject. The snakeskin-embossed panels and hammered-metal accents are the sort of simple-but-punchy details that Johansson favors. Additionally, its design was inspired by one of the great silver-screen goddesses of all time—Marlene Dietrich—a fact that Johansson would surely appreciate.

6. Made Her Think Wrap Your Stones Earrings ($187)
When it comes to jewelry, Johansson rarely goes for necklaces or bracelets, but always finishes her look with an interesting pair of earrings. We selected this pair by Made Her Think because we loved the combination of Swarovski rhinestones and army-green silk: they're fancy but not fussy.

7. Diptyque Huiles Precieuses Precious Oils For Bodyicon ($78)
We hardly ever pay attention to non-fashion celebrity news, but we've noticed that Johansson has quietly and consistently supported the green movement for quite some time. In accordance with this earthy ethos, we decided to include this lovely bottle of organic body oil from Diptyque. The sulfate and paraben-free formula is made from sweet almond, argan, and macadamia nut oils and gives skin a gorgeous glow.

She was spotted in the street with a friend, stopping by one of her favorite restaurants for lunch. At that time she looks casual and great as she was wearing a grey cardigan, a simple black tank top and her boyfriend jeans by carrying a Chanel woven bag which is one of the Chanel Calfskin Leather 2010 Spring/Summer Collection. This woven fabric bag features a Lemarie tweed flower on the front which I like best Chanel Caviar Leather and adds femininity to its totality. It is perfect for the spring and summer to carry. In the above photos she matched well by wearing blue skinny jeans, a white tank, a man’s cap with a big Chanel bag which is one of theChanel 2010 Spring/ Summer Pre-collection. It is a quitedChanel Cowskin Leather in calfskin with hand and shoulder straps, and it is large enough to hold a lot of things. The Ice Cubes Bag belongs to the Chanel Cruise 2008 collections, it contains a Chanel Crocodile Leather, a shopper, and pouchette. What I like most is Chanel Embroidered Leather ice cubes bag, for it is daring and fun, different from the former ones. Here I just review this great and creative handbag. This transparent Chanel Enameled Leather is made out of clear vinyl cubes placed on metallic lambskin leather, resembling the quilting of classic Chanel. In this case, it not only maintains the classics and elegance of the 2.55 bag, but also creates modern and charming. It features silvery gray satin lining that someone may not like, and leather chain strap that I could carry it on my hands. With the dimensions of 11?L x 2?W x 6?H, it could hold all my daily stuffs. Cheap Chanel Purses CHANEL CHEAP CHANEL REPLICA CHANEL CHANEL BAGS REPLICA CHANEL HANDBAGS CHANEL PURSES CHANEL HANDBAGS Today, we just put the symbolic double C logo aside. Among all the Chanel bags, the most enduring design may be the quilted replica Chanelbags. People all know that the fashion is really short tidal current, and any hit is due to be merged in the waves of trends at last, there seems left nothing that can stand the test of time. However, the quilted design is such an exception! Chanel bags are always related with elegance, luxury and celebrity. Chanel classic quilted handbag, just the name is enough to conjure up its luxurious image. Chanel quilted bag is a hot star among all the classic items. Replica Chanel Handbags is a worthwhile investment. Its simple shape conveys sophistication and minimal details lend a timeless beauty that makes this handbag universally appealing. If you're in the market for a high-end Chanel Purses, it's worth considering something from this legendary fashion house. Of course, there are some versions that are really very functional. Go and get whatever you need.
