- Right now I'm wearing my pajamas
and Colin's wearing his matching pajamas.
And that's all I'll say about that.

Hello Vogue.
I am Scarlett Johansson.
And today I am looking at my life in looks.
[page rustles]
Aw, how cute.
This is the premiere of Manny & Lo.
I am probably 10 or 11, mid 90s in New York.
I am wearing a vintage dress.
I know that's a vintage sweater.
I loved that sweater.
I lived close to a
vintage store in the village on Bleecker street
that was called Dorothy's Closet.
It was an adult clothing store, obviously,
but the guy that had the store, I would come in there
and he would put aside vintage kids' clothes for me.
I had been acting professionally for,
since I was about seven, seven and a half.
Manny & Lo was the first leading role that I ever had.
I just loved working every day.
I was living my dream.
I think this look is very now.
I would wear it today.

This is me and Thora Birch, we are in Ghost World.
That is based on the comic book by Daniel Clowes.
Terry Zwigoff directed this, and we are looking
with disdain at probably someone very basic.
I think I'm 15.
The costume designer of this I believe is Mary Zophres.
She's a genius.
She worked with the Cohen brothers a lot.
So I worked with her subsequently,
and we did Ironman two together,
and we also did Hail Caesar together, and she's fantastic.
If I remember the skirt was from Banana Republic,
it looks like it's from banana Republic.
My style at this time, I'm gonna guess JNCOs,
very, very, very wide-legged jeans
and probably like a shirt from Fiorucci.
[page rustles]
Imitation of Christ.
It's like a guerilla fashion movement that
my brilliant friend Tara Subkoff, it was her baby.
I would model for them sometimes.
I am probably 19.
I am wearing a vintage tennis skirt, converse obviously,
my classic converse.
And I'm wearing a pair of Victorian bangles that my dad
got me, I think for my birthday or Christmas.
And I'm also wearing a mullet.
My goal here was David Bowie meets Silkwood
and I think I've achieved it.
It was a terrible grow out, as you can imagine.
This is Bill Murray and I in Lost in Translation.
I am wearing a pink wig.
This image has kind of become an iconic one
but when you're doing something like this at the time,
it didn't, you're just in the middle of it.
It was like, "Hey, you wanna wear a wig?"
"Sure."
Sophia Coppola liked this light pink one.
Sophia has her own style obviously.
And so my character's look is based on her style a bit.
Some of the clothes we were wearing
were some of her clothes.
I think a lot of the stuff I was wearing was like APC,
Agnes B, and those kind of Frenchy brands.
I don't know if I have a favorite costume
but I remember the opening first two lines
was like a woman's behind in sheer pink underwear.
Luckily I was that age, so I was just like, "Yeah, sure.
Put the sheer pink underwear on me."
Now, probably not as much.
Would have probably have second thoughts
about the sheer pink underwear.
For a long time we didn't know if Bill was going
to show up when we started shooting it
because he's just an elusive character like that.
Sophia and our producer were just sort of hoping
it really was legit and he would show up.
So when I got there, it was like, "I guess we're making
this movie or maybe not?"
But he definitely turned up 'cause he's in the movie.

This is the first year that I went
to the Met Gala, I'm wearing Calvin Klein.
I actually had just done an Eternity fragrance for them.
And so that's why I was here with the house.
This is a nice dress.
I like it still.
In my own life, I wear a lot of neutral colors.
I wear a lot of plain clothing.
I don't know, I guess when I'm on the red carpet,
I'm more daring I think with the colors I wear
just because it feels like why not?
I never was very
fashion aware of all the whole fashion world,
it was out of my kind of vision.
I was probably just like, "Wow,"
very like, "What is all of this?"
You know, seeing all these fashion photographers
and models and designers, it was like,
this was a new world for me.
[jazzy music]
This is my first Vogue cover.
It was shot by Craig McDean.
I didn't know that you could say curvy and cool anymore.
[Scarlett laughs]
I don't think so.
It's a dated copy.
I loved these clothes.
It was all these like kind of shape wear pieces
that they had done with these little kind of 1950s
cut swimsuits and underpinnings and all that stuff.
Being on the cover of Vogue was always something that
felt like a humongous accomplishment and a real honor.
And it still feels like that.
That never goes away.
Kind of feels like you made it, you know?
This is Avengers and I am in my Black Widow suit.
And I'm for some reason looking at the ground
while there's a massive explosion going off.
That's how cool Natasha Romanoff is.
There's a massive explosive moment happening
in the background, but she's just like,
"What's that on the floor?"
I first found out I was cast as Black Widow about
I would say six weeks before the start of Ironman two.
So yeah, nice short period of time to get myself together.
Some of the Black Widow costumes are incredibly
uncomfortable and impractical.
Some of them are better.
I mean, it's evolved over a decade of time.
This suit actually was fairly comfortable.
It was easy to get in and out of.
Playing Natasha Romanoff has been one of the greatest
treasured experiences of my entire career.
I love the character.
I love my Marvel family.
It's been a joy.
Every step of the way has been an absolute joy
and getting to go back to
every year and a half or two years as we were
making these films and see everybody again,
everybody's lives had taken the next step
or people had kids or gotten married,
the whole crew all coming back together.
It just was something I always like looked forward to.
And I'm incredibly proud of this chapter of my life,
my professional life.
Oh, Barbara Sugarman.
This was a project Don Jon that Joseph Gordon-Levitt
wrote and directed.
I based this character off one of the Housewives
of New Jersey.
I won't tell you which one.
I just was like, "I know this person.
I know what watch they wear.
I know how their hair is styled, the nail."
I just was like, "Sign me up."
Every part of working on Don Jon was fantastic
except for wearing acrylic nails.
It was torturous.
I couldn't do anything.
They were painful.
I was a whole world I'd never been privy to
of like the fill, and the thickness, and the thinness.
It was madness.
I don't know how people do it,
but I have a lot of respect for those people.
[page rustles]
This is in LA.
It's the Women's March in LA.
I'm wearing a Time's Up shirt.
I remember I wrote a speech and I had cue cards
'cause I'm old school like that.
I have to have cue cards, physical cue cards.
There was a microphone, but there was no microphone stand.
You had to hold-
But I couldn't hold the cards and the microphone.
Mila Kunis, who's lovely,
got alongside me and held my microphone
for me while I read the cards.
And that's the definition of sisterhood.
Time's Up was really, it was founded out of necessity.
Started as a legal defense fund.
And now it's so much more than that.
It was like the beginning of the Me Too movement.
People that are experiencing sexual harassment
in the workplace.
A lot of those people don't have the resources
to defend themselves.
That's why this behavior or this toxic behavior
is continued.
It's a tremendous organization and a ton of work.
And I commend all of the women that work
for Time's Up because it really is, it takes over your life.
I know them.
And it's the work-life balance is a lie,
especially for women.
And it's just a very commendable thing to do
to dedicate your life to helping other people.
Oh, this is Marriage Story.
I guess I look particularly perplexed at this moment.
My character is an actor.
I dressed her a little bit like my sister.
I wanted her to look approachable like a mom,
comfortable and warm.
That's what I wanted her to look like.
Shooting this movie was exhausting.
Noah Baumbach, our director, is relentless.
And in the best way.
It's through that work, actually, that I think you get
such good rawness.
It was really one of the best experiences
I've ever had as an actor.
I loved going to work every day, I was excited.
[soft jazzy music]
This is the first time I
was on the red carpet since the pandemic started.
So it'd been like two years since I'd done a red carpet.
I'm wearing Versace.
I also had just announced the skin care line I'm working on,
the Outset, and so,
very clean, beautiful, shimmering skin moment.
Just wanted to kind of let the dazzling corset
and radiant skin shine.
And that was the look here.
And it was also a power suit moment, 'cause why not?
I just had a baby.
No, and I'm here with Colin.
I forgot about him.
[Scarlett laughs]
He likes clothing.
I mean, I wouldn't say he's like a fashion horse
but I like to shop for him.
I love men's clothes.
I much prefer men's clothes to women's clothes.
I'd happily spend
time looking for clothes for him way more than myself.
This is a very sparkling moment.
I am at the Kennedy Center Honors.
I had never been to the Kennedy Center Honors before.
I was going to do a piece for Bette Midler,
which was very, very exciting.
Just an amazing event.
Someone came up to me, of course everybody's masks,
so you can't see anybody,
you only see this much of their face.
And he was like, "Hi I'm such a fan of your work.
It's so nice to meet you.
I'm Smokey Robinson."
And I was like, "What?"
Oh my God.
I mean, you just meet people, it's like legends.
I was like, "Oh yeah, I see those eyes."
Yeah, it was awesome.
I'm wearing Dolce and Gabbana.
Of course.
Who else is using that many palletts?
Believe it or not, I think every woman there
was wearing sequins.
I thought to myself, "I'm gonna wear something
really flashy and it's a really glitzy night,"
and I thought I'd really stand out.
And then the entire audience was wearing sequins.
So, I was on trend.
I think I was kind of going for early aughts makeup look.
I mean the dress is so much that you kind of had
to keep it relatively subdued.
My takeaway is that
I feel more like myself
the older I get, and I think it's reflected in how I look
throughout these photographs.
And that's something that I feel very proud of.
I'm happy to be in my later 30s.
I feel most like myself and yeah, I hope to continue
to get to know myself better as I get older.
And I think you'll probably hopefully see that
reflected in my life in looks.
