Scarlett Johansson dazzled spectators in a stunning red sequined gown on Thursday as she led the star-studded arrivals at the Marriage Story premiere during the 76th Venice Film Festival.
The 34-year-old actress looked gorgeous in the form-fitting gown featuring a thigh-high split, showcasing her legs elegantly during the Netflix film’s debut in Italy.
Scarlett’s appearance follows her reflection on the role as ‘fated,’ given her own divorce from husband Romain Dauriac in 2017. Walking the red carpet, she captivated attention in a scarlet gown adorned with delicate sequins by designer Celine, revealing her intricate floral back tattoo in the strapless dress.
With her blonde hair styled in a slicked-back wet look, Scarlett accessorized with a distinctive silver chain earring by Ana Khouri, adding a touch of edge to her ensemble.
Her attendance at the premiere coincided with her candid remarks about the role’s personal significance during a press conference covered by Variety. Scarlett shared, “I was actually going through a divorce. I didn’t know what we were going to talk about… I just kind of blew into the room, ordered a glass of white wine and started complaining. And he was just listening and very attentive. And then he kind of cut it short and said, ‘Funny you should mention it.’”
“It felt sort of fated in a way,” Scarlett continued. “It was an experience to share with him and have him share with me. And it somehow came at just the right time.”
Scarlett and Romain were married from 2014 until 2017 and have a five-year-old daughter, Rose. Previously, Scarlett was married to Ryan Reynolds from 2008 to 2011 and is now engaged to SNL star Colin Jost.
