Scarlett Johansson Shines Like Royalty at 2025 Oscars
Scarlett Johansson dazzles on the red carpet, evoking the essence of old Hollywood glamour at the 97th Academy Awards.
Scarlett Johansson was undoubtedly one of the standout stars of the 2025 Oscars, held on March 2 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Dressed in a stunning navy blue velvet gown by Thierry Mugler from the FW 99/00 collection, she captured the attention of attendees and viewers alike. With a plunging cowl neckline and matching elbow-length gloves, the actress looked like royalty, embodying grace and elegance.
Accompanying her glamorous attire were exquisite diamond jewels from De Beers, which included statement pieces like chandelier earrings and a romantic necklace with a large center stone. Johansson remarked on the jewelry, saying, “I'm wearing Thierry Mugler and these incredible De Beers diamonds, which make me feel like a queen.” Her polished look was amplified by a chic slicked-back updo, ensuring all eyes were on her throughout the evening.
Despite not being nominated for any awards this year, Johansson's return to the Oscars stage came as she took on the role of presenter. She shared the spotlight with other notable names such as Selena Gomez, Oprah Winfrey, Halle Berry, and Cillian Murphy, each adding to the star-studded environment of the event. The lineup of presenters also featured past winners from the previous ceremonies, making Johansson's appearance resonate with nostalgia and excitement.
During her red carpet interviews, Johansson didn't shy away from discussing her recent work. She expressed gratitude for her co-stars, particularly Jonathan Bailey, who co-stars with her in the much-anticipated film Jurassic World: Rebirth. Describing him as “just got it all going on”, she praised him as “an incredible actor and he’s just a delicious treat.” Johansson also noted the camaraderie forged among the cast during challenging filming conditions, saying, “We made a family.” Reflecting on the demanding and often inhospitable climate they endured during production, she added, “Nobody went to Jurassic World thinking, ‘This will be a cakewalk.’
Johansson, who has two children—daughter Rose and son Cosmo—has had quite the illustrious career. Known for her performances in films like Marriage Story and Lost in Translation, she has also been recognized for her roles through multiple accolades. Despite her previous nominations—two Oscar nods back to back in 2020—she didn't take home the coveted statue. Nevertheless, representing powerful female leads, she returns to present, marking her status as one of Hollywood's most influential actresses.
It's worth mentioning the humorous tidbit shared by her husband, Colin Jost, about their life together. Jost revealed on Pop Culture Jeopardy! how he once went through 12 dumpsters after Johansson accidentally tossed her engagement ring. “I looked through 12 dumpsters of trash,” he shared, recounting the lengths he went to find the ring, only to find out later it was simply resting comfortably in her pocket. “It was a great day for me,” he remarked gleefully. Such anecdotes add charm to their high-profile life, showing the genuine care and humor they share as partners.
The 2025 Oscars were not just about the awards, but also about celebrating cinema and the dazzling presence of stars like Scarlett Johansson. From her breathtaking attire to her engaging conversations on the red carpet, she epitomized the essence of Hollywood glamour. The night was filled with unforgettable moments and thrilling anticipation as awards were handed out, adding yet another chapter to the illustrious history of the Academy Awards.
This year's array of nominees included films such as Wicked, which was up for Best Picture alongside several prominent contenders. While Johansson's Jurassic World: Rebirth wasn't nominated, her involvement and presentation at this year’s Oscars showcased her enduring impact on the industry and her unyielding spirit as both actress and creator.
