Scarlett Johansson in Prada at the UK ‘Avengers’ premiere: lovely or too dust-ruffled?

I’m going to be gender biased today and break up last night’s Avengers premiere photos into two posts, one for the girls and one for the boys. This is the girls’ post. Obviously. Let’s start off with The Avengers’ Jiggle, Scarlett Johansson. ScarJo wore this polka-dotted Prada for the big London premiere… well, I say “polka dots” but they’re not really. I think they’re roses? It’s some kind of flower print, but from a distance it looks like “dotty”. Something nice… er… I don’t hate the color combination of black, blue and red. Those colors could have been garish, but they’re not. As for the actual design… meh. I would like to see it without the vagina dust ruffle. And with different shoes – something in black or blue (or both). I’m also not a fan of ScarJo’s hair for this carpet.

Cobie Smulders has a small part in the film. She’s a pretty girl, but I’m not crazy about this red Alexandra Vidal Fall 2012 gown. One, it feels like overkill considering she’s not even close to one of the top 10 billed actors, so why is she wearing an Oscar gown? Two, the quilted detail on the shoulders makes her look bulky, and she’s not. Bad design.

Elsa Pataky is Chris Hemsworth’s pregnant wife. I feel like she’s been pregnant forever, right? Incidentally, Elsa is totally the girl who dated Adrien Brody, and he bought her a CASTLE, and then she dumped him for Olivier Martinez, and then somebody dumped somebody, and instantly Elsa was with Chris and she was knocked up. It happened really quickly from what I remember. I don’t know who did her dress, but it’s very pretty.

    ick! Too memaw-ish, and from the side it looks like she’s 5 mos. pregnant!

  2. Dex says:

    This is one ugly dress.

    • marie says:

      true, but her hair looks great.

      • Esmom says:

        I agree. Not everyone can pull off the milkmaid braids, not even her sometimes, but she’s doing it here. And her makeup is flawless. Brighter than usual and it works.

  3. Astrid says:

    Funny that the pregnant chick looks the best. I don’t care for either of the other women’s styling.

    • lafairy says:

      exactly Elsa Pataky looks the best of them, and she is pregnant!!
      And what is going on with scarjo, are her average looks and dull attitude now permanent?she doesn’t even look pretty anymore just alright at best!

  4. Mia says:

    Elsa looks great! I remember she was in the last Fast & Furious movie…she has a unique look. As for ScarJo, I feel like she doesn’t know how to “bring it” anymore, all her red carpets are just alright at best, she should be more like Megan Fox during the Transformer days…now that was a girl who knew how to get all the headlines with her looks

  5. gee says:

    I agree about the dust ruffle! Take it away and it’d be much much better. I think her hair and makeup is on point.

  6. Esmom says:

    Elsa pregnant in the green dress reminds me a bit of the iconic Angelina pregnant in the green dress. Pretty.

    • EmmaStoneWannabe says:

      I was thinking the same thing. Similar beauty to Angie’s!

    • sluggo says:

      Elsa looks gorgeous. It’s great to see maternity dress-up wear that is flattering, and this is spectacular.

      (Note to Beyonce: THIS is what pregnant looks like. So next time around, if you’re going to have the foam belly and the skintight shirt or dress, stick a cotton ball in there to simulate a belly button. And before anybody says maybe Bey has an innie instead of an outie, and that’s why it didn’t show … the belly button will STILL show, one way or another. Trust me.)

      • Esmom says:

        So true…if it’s an innie than you will see the shadow from the cave it becomes when you’re in your third trimester.

  7. stephanie says:

    i’m in the love the hair, hate the dress camp.

  8. Eve says:

    A red dress on a red carpet makes it look like the woman has sprouted from the floor.

    Will try to not say anything about Pataky (despise her).

    • Tapioca says:

      Don’t despise her. No-one has played the “talentless actress boning her way up the Hollywood food chain” card better in recent memory.

      Show respect!

      • Eve says:

        LOl! Seriously, take a look at the way she stares at the camera (the picture with Hemsworth). She did the very same in almost every single picture I saw when she was with Brody.

        P.S.: another for why I can’t stand her is a blind item I read on Crazy Days and Nights a couple of years ago. Let me see if I can find it.

        EDIT:

        http://www.crazydaysandnights.net/2009/07/todays-blind-items-when-f-listers.html

        This was one of the blind items the guy who runs the site didn’t reveal (at least, I couldn’t find it). But I’m positively sure that’s about Thomas Jane (the C list actor), Patricia Arquette (the wife), Courteney Cox (the friend), Elsa Pataky (the F lister). Back then Pataky was in a movie with him called Give’em Hell, Malone, and all of a sudden Arquette kicks him out of their house, but not long after that they got back together (I know that, because I used to read everything about Thomas Jane).

      • carrie says:

        @eve: do you know CDAN has many imaginations ? http://www.nypost.com/p/news/opinion/opedcolumnists/blind_items_X90W22a56Zl3O5RnjTvhsL

        all you need is to write some accurate elements and many imaginations

      • Eve says:

        I do, Carrie. But that one was incredibly accurate (and posted by CDAN’s main blogger, not that “Himmm” dude). Jane was indeed kicked out, then not so long after that they (Arquette and Jane) made up.

        I must say that I don’t believe most of these blind items (they’re just fun to read), but this one? I believe it.

  9. Aria says:

    Sorry to disagree but I absolutely love that dress. I would probably hate it on someone else like the chick in the red dress.

    Scarjo looks pretty and sexy here. Plus, she’s gaining back all the unnecesary weight she has lost in the past years.

  10. Dorothy#1 says:

    That Elsa is one lucky bitch!!

  11. lafairy says:

    she should workout a bit her arms they look a bit matronly, and I don’t know what is going on with her face but she looks average while she used to look like a pin’up!

  12. lower-case deb says:

    cute nailpolish combination on pataky 🙂

  13. Michele says:

    I love Scarlet’s hair best and the makeup is good but that dress is horrible! Oh, I see Chris’s wife is about to pop. I keep hearing that she is an actress but I never even heard of her before I discovered Chris. They look happy and all loved up. Their child is going to gorgeous.

  14. Debra says:

    How can you say ‘ instantly Elsa was with Chris and she was knocked up’ ??

    from what I’ve read, they’ve been married since 2010

    I don’t think she’s been pregnant for 2 years

    and thank goodness she got away from Olivier, he’s with that crazy B Halle Berry now so he must be looney tunes himself

  15. Franny says:

    What is going on with that pregnant chick’s nails? She’s cute though. That is going to be one beautiful child.

  16. ladybert62 says:

    The pregnant lady looks the best – scarjo’s hair is OK – that dress is awful and makes her look chunky with fat arms.

  17. marie says:

    I disagree : I LOVE Scarlett’s hair, make up and dress! The dress would have been better without the weird black thing around the waist but appart from that I think she looks lovely.

  18. EmmaStoneWannabe says:

    Maybe ScarJo is trying to hide a little tummy with that flap thing? To us normal ones, she is tiny. But to her, with this extra 5ish pounds on, she could just be insecure about certain parts.

    • Embee says:

      I agree. She looks self-conscious with her elbows pinned back and her chin pointed at the horizon. Too bad because I like the dress and her in it. Not the braids, though. Not for this dress. She needed something like loose curls.

  19. merc says:

    The dress would have been better without the peplum, and strapless is not her best look, but overall I like it. What I really don’t like: her tattoos. They don’t work with anything, and they don’t even go together.

  20. Jackson says:

    ScarJo looks terrible – again. Dress is too tight and cut all wrong for her figure – just like that black one she wore about a week ago. She also needs to learn how to pose for the cameras. Oy. How does she not know these things by now?

  21. Jenna says:

    Eww to all the gals but Elsa. Sheesh.

  22. Lilian says:

    I love her dress. It’s very feminine yet edgy. You will remember her in this dress because it’s so eye-catching.

  23. lolaluvsu2 says:

    Elsa got game. Gonna give Blake a run for her money.

  24. benny says:

    I don’t know who the pregnant woman is. But she poses like a Kardashian — she’s supposedly there to support the husband, but tries to make it all about her. That doesn’t bode well for the marriage. Just my take on the body language.

    And I hate the word “lovely.” It’s like a fake compliment — I can’t think of anything SPECIFIC that is great about this person or outfit, so I’ll cop out and use the generic “lovely.” “It’s lovely.” “She’s lovely.” Meaningless.

    (Also, it’s sounds too forced, like I’m a “woman of a certain age” exaggerating my pinky sticking out as I sip my tea. “The tea is lovely.”)

  25. G says:

    I don’t really care for either the dress or the hair. I will say that she never looks cheap or skanky, which is a danger for someone so young and hot.

  26. Esmom says:

    Oh no. Now that’s I’ve jumped on the Chris Hemsworth bandwagon, thanks your other post about him, I’m worried about his marriage. He seems like a sweetie and, if the comments here are any indication, she seems like she’s…not.

  27. Kim says:

    I think she looks pretty and i love the hair.

    • cruiz2 says:

      Red shoes on a red carpet? Yuck! Her feet blend in & look creepy missing. Black or blue a better choice.
