Scarlett Johansson was joined by her co-stars on the red carpet in London tonight for the premiere of her latest movie ‘The Avengers’ held at the Vue Westfield.
The actress donned a Prada dress.
Her strapless peplum dress featured a black bodice embroidered with red-and-blue floral details and a black-and-blue cut-out lace-effect pencil skirt.
This look is a vast improvement on the one she wore to the Moscow premiere, but the peplum looks like an afterthought and the string hanging off her hemline makes me itch.
Red Christian Louboutin ‘Pigalle’ pumps, a ‘Heidi’ braid, Bulgari jewels and a rich red lip colour completed her look.
I don’t hate this look, but I’m not wowed by it either.
I’m still wishing for a return of the ScarJo of old and some more colourful red-carpet looks.
Let’s move on from the Black Widow references.

if only she had sexed it up a little. it is a good look but nothing mind blowing.
I like bodice up. Peplum down it’s awful. ScarJo of Yore is nomore.
Better than the last two outings but still nothing special. I love her make up.
Where is the Scarjo we know and love?
All of her looks are just so forgettable, it’s really sad because she did used to have some great red carpet moments. What I really don’t get about this look is the hair & makeup, they don’t make sense by themselves adn especially with the dress.
Also, the peplum doesn’t work at all on her body type because it just end where her hips are and so the effect is lost and it’s not flattering.
Agreed! It’s a bit Heidi in the hills meets Hollywood glamourpuss on the hair and make up. Don’t even get me started on the confused mess that is the dress.
“I don’t hate this look, but I’m not wowed by it either.”
DITTO!
p.s. Did her doctor order her not to wear any floor-lenght gowns?
I’m confused.
I was wondering about that too. She seems to have developed a dislike for long gowns…
She’s a beautiful woman, I like her hair and makeup and honestly, I’ve had no problems with her promo tour so far.
I just don’t understand why she loves those knee-length cocktail numbers so freaking much. They make her look underdressed.
Everything here screams old lady here. Her hair is just killing me
+ 1

I know this is going to sound a bit harsh, but she looks like an idiot. Maybe it’s just the photos, but ugh I hate this look.
It sounds harsh, but then this IS some brainless piece of styling.
“I don’t hate this look, but I’m not wowed by it either.” ITA. But it’s definitely better than the Moscow premiere.
The dress would have been better without the peplum. Also I don’t like her hair at all – it somehow makes it look matronly. And I hate the lip color too.
I’m still rooting for her to pull off something glorious! Don’t give up hope yet!
This isn’t boring, but it is bad.
I’ve given up…I did after Russia.
To be honest I don’t even thing Elie Saab can save her…she just not into it.
I think she better fire her hair stylist just about now. Everything else about her look is beareable at least.
I like the dress, tho the peplum is odd. Not a fan of her hair or makeup.
I literally gasped. LOATHE EVERYTHING about this look.
i loooveee this dress i want it for myself! that said, i wish she had sexed it up a bit as well. maybe with some bombshell hair and took her hands off her hips like that it makes her look so stiff.
I want this from her:

The funny thing is as I looked back her body of work, there were very few looks in the last two or three years that I really enjoyed.
Swoons at that picture…those were the days
She is just serving it. It’s not hard to look incredible in Elie Saab, but you can tell from the body language, the hair, the makeup that she wanted to “turn this mother out.” And that’s what she did.
I don’t know what she’s doing these days…
Wonderful! Thank heavens for Amber Heard who’s picked up where she’s left off…
If it was a tour for a kiddies film…yes. But she appears to be killing off her role as ‘sexiest woman’ in favour of something more demure with these looks.
I like the top and the skirt but NOT together. looks like a cross between Heidi and a smurf.
Matronly
Not wowed.
ScarJo always astonishes me.How would someone mess up such a great body/face/features with such depressing looks. I just don’t get it. Can someone please explain it?
She’s got what every hollywood actress wants (lips,boobs,bum) and she manages to waste it.
I only wish I can style her for red carpet events.
