Throughout Scarlett Johansson's 25-or-so year career, she's set Hollywood alight with countless dazzling performances through her teenage years into adulthood. Don't just take our word for it, the industry puts her on a pedestal too; Scarlett has been nominated for 5 Golden Globes and has walked away with 44 wins and 143 nominations across a variety of industry award competitions.
While she's always been thereabouts in Hollywood, it's only within the last decade that she's begun to top all kinds of richest, most attractive, and most successful lists - she's exploded into untouchable starlet territory, thanks largely to her ongoing role as Black Widow in the MCU.
Not only is our beloved Scarlett Johansson one of Tinseltown's highest-paid actresses but she's also one of the most captivating, both looks and performance-wise. When you take into account that soul-piercing stare, it's hard to deny that fact. Take a look at these 20 photos and judge for yourself.
20 Staring Into Our Soul
Having earned the title as the world's highest-paid actress since 2018, it's not exactly a surprise that ScarJo is a household name. The MCU star (playing Black Widow) is pictured here showing off her trademark short hair (and boy, does she make it work) along with a unique outfit that shows off her trim figure.
19 Long Hair, Don't Care
We don't know how she manages to pull it off but Scarlett Johansson seems to have a unique ability to make any hairstyle look flawless. The flowing, golden locks blend effortlessly with her naturally pale skin, the calm waters in the background, and her stunning, royal blue dress.
18 Bedroom Eyes
It used to be Pamela Anderson, then it was Jessica Alba, now, posters of our beloved Scarlet Johansson hang upon teenage boys' bedroom walls on every corner of the globe. It's not hard to see why either - take one look at her in this punk-rock style and you'll immediately be transfixed.
17 Lady In Red
It's not often that a man or woman can make us uncomfortable in a good way but the beautiful Scarlett Johansson can do just that without even trying. The infamous American actress is seen here rocking a laced red dress to match her striking lipstick, and frankly, we can't get enough of it.
16 Black And White Delight
When colour is zapped from a photo, the natural lines and shapes become more apparent. In this case, it works wonders for ScarJo, as we're quickly sucked into her captivating stare and seamless curves. Considering that she's worth close to $140 million as of 2019 (according to CheatSheet), she can easily afford professional photographers.
15 MCU's Top Chick
In case you've been living under a rock for the last decade, you'll know that the Marvel Cinematic Universe has taken the film world by storm. One of the women at the centre of that universe is, of course, Scarlett Johansson (in the role of Black Widow). There's just something about a raging fire in the background that makes her aesthetic all the more impressive.
14 Time For A Dip
Once again, we come face to face with another variation of Scarlett's hairdo - this time, it's pinned up in preparation for a quick dip in the pool. While the red bathing suit is indeed rather modest, that doesn't change the fact that the New York-born actress looks nothing short of dazzling in it.
13 Captivating Close-ups
There's just something about the combination of those puffy, glossy lips and the subtle stare that makes us all shift in our chairs just a tad. Obviously, Scarlett has amassed an enormous filmography (66 acting credits to this point, according to IMDB), however, she's also no stranger to modelling.
12 Hidden Tattoos
The upper half of this image politely showcases a slick, profession version of our favourite actress. On the other hand, the bottom half gives off punk bad-girl vibes, showing a bit of skin and revealing her usually-hidden inked midriff. Believe it or not but the actress actually has eight tattoos in total.
11 The Tomboy Look
The life of a celebrity isn't always easy - A-listers are forced to be in the constant public eye, often swarmed by paparazzi. It seems that's why Scarlett has gone for the partially inconspicuous look here, combining a hat to cover part of her face and a long, matching, blue overcoat. From the looks of it, those nails are matching as well.
10 A Star Among Lights
It's impossible to disagree that we're seeing Scarlett Johansson here in what is almost certainly her best light (hey, see what we did there?). The Saturn Award-winning actress is rocking the subtle hair curls with an inviting red lipstick and a classy, lacey dress - all in all, a winning combination.
9 That Lip Twitch
If there's anything more impressive than an extreme close-up of our favourite actor (yes, that's you, dear Scarlett Johansson), then we're yet to see it. Donning the flowing golden locks once again, Scar is inviting every viewer to stare in awe, particularly with the subtle half-lip raise.
8 Puppy Love
What's better than a great photo of one of most famous (and attractive) women of Hollywood? That same photo with a cute-as-heck doggo slid into it, of course! Granted, not everyone loves dogs, however, it would be hard to say no to this pooch taking into account with leading lady comes alongside it.
7 There's A Reason Why She's Always Atop The Hot Lists
Big-budget Hollywood productions put thousands upon thousands of dollars into makeup and costume budgets for their stars, particularly in the MCU films where ScarJo plays Black Widow. That being said, aside from a touch of lipstick and concealer, she's pictured here in her natural element - and don't we love it!
6 The Tatts In Full Force
First off, let's deal with the hair. As you can see, her natural brown roots are coming out to shine, allowing us to see the clear contrast between the dyed blonde. Okay, now let's chat about those tattoos - of the eight total, the rose on her back is easily the biggest, and she has no problem showing it off to the press.
5 Full Volume, Full Stare
If there's any starlet in Hollywood who has truly mastered the art of the soul-piercing stare, it's the only and only Scarlett Johansson. If you're as drawn in as we are, the star can be as transfixing as it is uncomfortable, making us want to squirm just a little bit. There's no doubt about it: Scar is something else.
4 Lower Your Weapon
There's just something about a drop-dead beauty wielding something of imminent danger that makes our blood boil - in a good way, that is. We've seen Scarlett in a number of different outfits that show off her figure throughout this list, however, this particular one emphasises her not-to-be-messed-with factor instead,
3 Beauty And Bangs
Not everyone can pull off such a prominent yellow. Are you at all surprised that Scarlett can, though? Tinseltown's finest has shown us that she can make any look appear naturally flawless, no matter what outfit, hairdo, or makeup arrangement she's rocking. Once again, those eyes make us all kinds of pleasantly uncomfortable.
2 The Eyes Have It
As we've seen, Scarlett Johansson's eyes are often the focal point. While usually blue, occasionally (as depicted by the earlier piece of art) her windows to the world transition to a subtle shade of grey-green. That's not a bad thing by any means, it simply allows for a wider variety of impressive photos!
1 Artsy Or Uncomfortable?
Taking a rather unique approach to the captivating stare that we've seen time and time again, a painter decided to create the infamous actress on canvas. Interestingly enough, the artist in question has conveyed ScarJo with piercing green eyes rather than baby blues. Which do you prefer?
