Scarlett Johansson looks like Hollywood royalty at the 97th Academy Awards.
The actor walked the red carpet at the iconic Dolby Theatre in Hollywood in a velvet gown in deep navy. The piece, from the Mugler Couture Fall/Winter 1999-2000 collection, had a plunging cowl neckline, and Johansson wore it with matching opera gloves, also from the fashion house, and diamond jewelry by De Beers, including a romantic necklace with a large center stone and dangly earrings.
ScarJo has had a long and prolific career in film. She has given us Lost in Translation (2003), Vicky Cristina Barcelona (2008), Her (2013), Marriage Story (2019), and so much more. She is the highest-grossing box-office female star of all time and has received various accolades, including a BAFTA Award for Lost in Translation and a Tony Award for her performance in Broadway’s A View From the Bridge. In 2020, she was nominated for two Oscars—for her roles in Marriage Story and Jojo Rabbit—becoming only the 12th actor ever to be nominated for two acting Oscars in the same year. (Unfortunately, she did not win.)
Tonight, the movie star’s attendance at the Oscars is not as a nominee but as a presenter.
Johansson will be joined in her presenter role by some of last year’s acting category winners: Emma Stone (Poor Things), Da’Vine Joy Randolph (The Holdovers), Robert Downey Jr. (Oppenheimer), and Cillian Murphy (Oppenheimer).
Oscar winners and nominees from earlier years, like herself, will also reemerge as presenters. These include her Vicky Cristina Barcelona costar Penélope Cruz, as well as Harrison Ford, Whoopi Goldberg, John Lithgow, Goldie Hawn, Ana de Armas, Andrew Garfield, Sterling K. Brown, Samuel L. Jackson, Oprah Winfrey, and Halle Berry.
And performers from this year’s nominated films will also act as presenters. These are Selena Gomez (Emilia Pérez), Lily-Rose Depp (Nosferatu), Elle Fanning (A Complete Unknown), Bowen Yang (Wicked), Margaret Qualley (The Substance), Zoe Saldaña (Emilia Pérez), and Joe Alwyn (The Brutalist).
