Scarlett Johansson crushes it in coral for NYC premiere of Phoenician film
Scarlett Johansson was coruscating in coral as she attended the New York premiere of The Phoenician Scheme on Wednesday.
The glitzy event was held at Jazz at Lincoln Center in Manhattan - and the 40-year-old actress ramped up the glam in a coral-colored strapless Saint Laurent gown.
The star - who has a small role in the black comedy - added a lariat necklace and rings from Taffin Jewelry selected by stylist Kate Young.
Hairstylist David von Cannon finally let Scarlett's highlighted wavy mane down rather than scraping it into a severe bun like usual.
Makeup artist Jian Qiao Lu brought out her bushy brows and natural bee-stung pout with minimal cosmetics.
The two-time Oscar nominee plays a deadpan 'titan' character known only as 'Cousin' in the movie, which hits limited U.S. theaters this Friday before a wider U.S./UK release on June 6.
Scarlett dutifully posed with The Phoenician Scheme filmmaker Wes Anderson and castmates Scott Shepherd, F Murray Abraham, Hope Davis, Bryan Cranston, Mia Threapleton, Benicio del Toro, Steve Park, Michael Cera, and Tom Hanks.
'It was so great because I got to dip in for, you know, like a short period of time, reunite with some friends, meet new friends and castmates, and get, like, into Wes' world,' Scarlett told Extra on Wednesday.
'You know, these guys had been working so hard - Michael, Benicio, Mia - for, like, months, and then I just got to come in and have fun and then I was like, "All right, see you guys later!" '
The Phoenician Scheme has a 'certified fresh' 76 per cent critic approval rating (out of 90 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Outset co-founder seemed especially chummy with Tom, dressed in a navy-blue suit, who portrays Leland in the absurdist father-daughter flick.
Meanwhile, Bryan's red carpet antics amused Scarlett as she posed with F Murray and Mia.
Scarlett is still riding high after her six-minute standing ovation for her feature directorial debut Eleanor The Great during the May 20 Cannes Film Festival premiere.
The indie drama stars 95-year-old June Squibb as 90-year-old Eleanor Morgenstein, who moves back to New York City from Florida following the death of her best friend of 70 years.
