Scarlett Johansson commanded attention in a snug-fitting white dress as she led her co-stars at the Jurassic World Rebirth premiere in New York City on Monday.
The 40-year-old actress, who stars as Zora Bennett in the upcoming science fiction film, put on a busty display in the low-cut look, which cinched at the waist and boasted ruffle accents.
Johansson greeted co-star Jonathan Bailey, 37, with a peck on the lips as he joined her on the red carpet.
For his part, Bailey looked spiffy in a light gray, subtly striped jacket and trousers which he teamed with a white tank.
His look was rounded out with a pair of black leather Margiela loafer mules and purple-tinted eyeglasses.
There to support Scarlett was her longtime husband Colin Jost, 42, who coordinated with her in a monochrome white outfit.
The new sci-fi/action movie is the seventh film in the Jurassic Park franchise and stars a new ensemble cast, with Scarlett in the lead role.
On a top-secret mission, the characters fight for their lives in a battle against much larger and dangerous foes.
Johansson — who previously admitted it was her 'childhood dream' to star in a Jurassic Park movie — leads the charge as she protects her teammates on their life-threatening mission to obtain the DNA of the most ferocious beasts at the site of the now-destroyed research facility for the original Jurassic Park.
The movie is set several years after the 2022 film Jurassic World Dominion, which starred Bryce Dallas Howard alongside Chris Pratt, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, and Sam Neill, and more.
The synopsis reads: 'Five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, the planet's ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs.
'Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived.'
Last year, Scarlett told ComicBook.com that the 'script is so incredible' and gushed about how David Koepp wrote it.
'He returned after like 30 years to write the script. He's so passionate about it, which is so awesome,' she raved. 'I'm such an enormous fan of the franchise and a huge nerd for it. I'm just like, I can't even, I'm pinching myself.'
Scarlett added, 'I've been trying to get into this franchise in any possible way for over 10 years.'
Steven Spielberg has returned as executive producer, which is a joint-venture production between Amblin Entertainment and Universal.
Principal photography began last year in mid-June in Thailand and went on for about a month.
Production later moved to Kalkara, in the island country of Malta in the Mediterranean Sea, located in Southern Europe for another month.
From there, the shoot went to Sky Studios Elstree in London, England in August before moving on to New York City in late September.
Jurassic World Rebirth is scheduled to hit theatres in the UK and the US on July 2, 2025.
Another Jurassic World Rebirth star, Mahershala Ali, had the same idea as Scarlett, as he arrived to the premiere in white.
The 51-year-old Oscar-winning actor was joined by longtime wife Amatus Sami-Karim and their eight-year-old daughter Bari Najma Ali.
The family-of-three matched each other in a simple white-and-black color palette.
Amatus was clad in a black crew neck dress with a white graphic accent at the chest.
Meanwhile, their only child looked adorable in a frilly white dress with pale pink bow details.
Young actress Audrina Miranda wore a green dress to the starry event.
Speaking to E! News amid the cast's press tour, she said about filming with Ali, 'He's really good at getting in the zone to get into the scene that we're about to go in.'
Rupert Friend, who also stars in the upcoming movie, was accompanied by wife Aimee Mullins.
The 43-year-old British actor wore a light gray suit with a white shirt and gray tie, adding black lace-up boots.
His light brown hair was arranged in a neat cut and he looked handsome with a trimmed up goatee.
His wife Aimee, 49, joined him on the red carpet, wearing flared white pants and sheer green blouse with a floral pattern.
Another UK-bred actor, Ed Skrein, 42, looked great in a beige suit with pleated trousers.
Actress Philippine Velge, 29, went for an edgy look with a pale pink, white, and black color scheme.
