Two-time Academy Award-nominated actress Scarlett Johansson is widely considered one of the most beautiful, most talented, and outright most recognizable stars on the planet.
Johansson, 41, has been appearing on our screens since the mid-1990s. Following her screen debut in 1994’s comedy-drama adventure movie “North,” some of her first significant roles include 1997’s comedy sequel “Home Alone 3” and 1998’s neo-Western drama film “The Horse Whisperer.”
Now, she is best known for the likes of 2003’s brilliant romantic comedy-drama “Lost in Translation,” her two 2019 Oscar-nominated roles in drama movie “Marriage Story” and the satirical black comedy-drama “Jojo Rabbit,” and, of course, playing Natasha Romanoff, aka Black Widow, in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Being such a huge star has meant Johansson has appeared on countless red carpets over the years. Unsurprisingly, she’s always the absolute center of attention in those situations. Consequently, she’s been photographed thousands of times on said red carpets.
With that in mind, let’s look at her best and most stunning red carpet photographs ever.

So far in 2026, Johansson has appeared in one movie: James Gray’s crime drama “Paper Tiger.” Later this year, she will voice a character in Brad Bird’s adult animated neo-noir sci-fi mystery flick “Ray Gunn.”
Next year, she will appear in the untitled reboot of “The Exorcist.”
Other upcoming projects she has pending include “The Batman: Part II,” “The Gauntlet,” “Scapegoat,” and “Featherwood.”
