Cannes: Scarlett Johansson wore an impeccable Prada at the ‘Eleanor’ premiere

Last night, Scarlett Johansson premiered her directorial debut, Eleanor the Great, at the Cannes Film Festival. Scarlett directed June Squibb and Erin Kellyman, and they were both there for the premiere. Scarlett’s husband Colin Jost also came out for the premiere. Let’s talk about Colin’s fashion first – Colin seems to do a lot of chest and arm work, which is great, but that means he looks sort of foolish wearing a slim-cut double-breasted suit or tuxedo? He should either go with a slim-cut single-breasted suit (if his goal is showing off his chest and arms) or go with a boxy double-breasted jacket. As for Scarlett, she wore a custom Prada in a pale blue. As I went through the photos, I looked at all of the angles of the gown – it really is tailored beautifully for Scarlett’s figure. Her red lipstick pops too.

Jodie Foster skipped her usual Armani and went with Loewe to the ‘Vie Privée’ premiere. I’m not a fan of any of it??

Georgina Chapman and Adrien Brody were out in Cannes last night as well. I’m still mad that he won his second Oscar, and I’m still mad about his long-ass speech. Georgina wore an archive Marchesa… remember when half the girls at any award show wore dresses like this? It’s giving me nostalgia.

Eva Herzigova wore one of the funniest looks of the festival – this is Balenciaga. I’m calling it the “boob bell dress.”

    Scarlett looks a bit like Kate Winslet in her poses. Not sure about the colour though. Love the lipstick.

    Jodie is ageing gracefully.

    Eva = 🐄

    Balenciaga is in so much trouble.

    • Smart&Messy says:

      The color of Scarlett’s dress should be a tiny bit more saturated. More lavender or blue, less dishwater. Other than that she looks amazing, because an otherwise boring dress is elevated by perfect tailoring and her perfect figure.

      • Blogger says:

        I think that’s it. It is the colour of dishwater. It’s not grey, not any shade of blue – lilac?! The red lipstick is a striking contrast to it. Maybe a necklace would have broken up that starkness.

    • It Really Is You, Not Me says:

      I thought the dress looked lilac in the first photo and pale blue in the later photos. It is saved from looking a little prom nightish by that amazing chiffon fabric and the tailoring.

  2. Roo says:

    Scarlett looks gorgeous and I agree with you about Colin. Georgina is always beautiful despite what she wears.

    Eva’s dress made me laugh – she has cow bells right on top of her boobs. Oh my.

    • Yup, Me says:

      Eva’s dress looks like a balloon.

      The parts over her boobs is where you would blow to fill it up (provocative), but it’s already been tied closed.

    Well, everybody wore Marchesa because Harvey Weinstein made them wear it.

    • SarahLee says:

      Thank you for saying that. It’s the first thought that popped into my mind. Georgina is the former Mrs. Weinstein. While I won’t blame her for all his sins, she bears some “stink” in my mind. Dating Adrian Brody doesn’t help.

      • molly says:

        And I’ll never forgive Adrian Brody for accosting Halle Berry and sticking his tongue down her throat on the Oscar stage 20+ years ago.

      • DianeS says:

        What she said!

      • bananapanda says:

        Oh it’s pretty painful on her seasons of Project Runway – which Miramax produced – as she name drops a lot.

        I want to tie Scarlett’s sash around back ha

      • Anne Maria says:

        I don’t see why Georgina is to blame for any of her ex-husband’s crimes. Seems misogynistic to me.

    • wendy says:

      Glad someone said it — even the color seems low key violent…or maybe I’m thinking complicit.

    • Jess says:

      Yes. I was going to say the same. It’s pretty gross to be nostalgic for a time when young actresses were being controlled and abused by a monster.

    • It Really Is You, Not Me says:

      ✋ another person here whose first thought was that actresses were wearing Marchesa because Harvey Weinstein made them do it.

      I actually always liked Marchesa myself and so I like this dress, but I realize it’s not for everyone.

    • Lady Rae says:

      I’ve just looked through a Marchesa red carpet archive. The did have a distinct style lots of tuille and romantic. It’s too girly for me. It’s a shame that so many actresses felt they had to wear it to promote films that they were in produced by Weinstein or that they will wearing it to try and curry favor from him.

    • Tn Democrat says:

      👏. Exactly. She wouldn’t have had a career to begin with if the much older sexual predator she spawned with hadn’t forced actresses to wear her overblown dresses to awards shows his media campaigns influenced. Adrian Body is grody also. She does seem to have a specific type.

  4. Jegede says:

    Scarlett’s gown is lovely.❤️

    Very Princess Di at Cannes, in 1987.

    She could have done something different with her hair though.😕😕😕

  5. JanetDR says:

    Scarlett’s dress fits her so well! Totally distracts from how Colin’s suit doesn’t.
    Also, thrilled to see June Sqibb – go watch Thelma if you haven’t seen it yet!

  6. Arizona says:

    Jodie Foster looks like she’s wearing a costume from Star Wars lol.

  7. SIde Eye says:

    Love this dress on Scarlet. The color and fit and the way it moves is so beautiful.

  8. Kirsten says:

    Scarlett, June, and Erin all look lovely. Excited for this film!

  9. Truthiness says:

    Does Colin consume something special for Scarlett’s red carpet events? He seems lost in a haze. Not unhappy, he’s determined to be there and not stare at pretty women, just a thousand miles away.

  10. Ben says:

    I’m still in shock of Georgina’s Hollywood comeback. She’s in good graces with the big shots it seems.

  11. Anne Maria says:

    I’m not sure why there’s any madness involved in Adrien’s second Oscar. It was a phenomenal performance and well deserved. I really like Georgina’s dress and Scarlett looks fab.

  12. therese says:

    I think Scarlett looks lovely, and I really enjoy seeing she and her husband together. It is obvious that they are very close. Looking forward to seeing her in the Jurassic movie when it comes out. Keep going back and watching Lucy. So, I am conflicted about Georgina, but I think that dress is beautiful, color, structure and all. May go watch Lucy again.
