Scarlett Johansson turned up the heat at the launch event for her skincare brand The Onset, stepping out in a classic black slip dress that balanced old Hollywood glamour with a distinctly lingerie-inspired edge.
The look was deceptively simple at first glance, but Johansson could not resist elevating it with sensual details that had fans collectively short-circuiting. Equal parts sugar and spice, the ensemble leaned into softness, drama, and confidence without trying too hard. Which, frankly, is kind of her superpower.
A velvet slip with lace and attitude
Nobody does effortless allure quite like Johansson. The ankle-length black velvet dress skimmed her frame in a smooth, fluid silhouette that felt both comfortable and undeniably bold. Held up by delicate spaghetti straps, the sleeveless slip featured a plunging neckline trimmed with sheer black tulle, giving the piece a boudoir-adjacent vibe without tipping into costume territory.
The velvet fabric added a winter-ready richness, while the subtle mermaid-style movement at the hem created a graceful flow as she walked. The barely-there straps, soft sheen, and lace-trimmed neckline made the dress feel intimate and dramatic all at once. A quiet flex, fashion-wise.
The look also served as a stylish reminder that Johansson, who stars in the upcoming The Batman II, knows exactly how to command attention without shouting for it.
Accessories, beauty, and finishing touches
Johansson kept the accessories sharp but unfussy, layering diamond earrings with coordinating rings, stacked bracelets, and a sleek watch. Black pumps anchored the look, letting the dress remain the undisputed star.
Her beauty choices stayed equally refined. Soft beach waves parted down the middle, framing her face, while natural makeup, with flushed cheeks and a pink-tinted lip, enhanced her features rather than overpowering them.
In other words, no gimmicks. Just velvet, lace, confidence, and the kind of presence that reminds everyone why Scarlett Johansson remains one of Hollywood’s most reliable style forces.
