Scarlett Johansson knows how to work a room. On September 22, the actor-director arrived at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert in New York wearing a black strapless Balmain bodycon dress—minimalist in cut, but loaded with detail. The look was part of her press run for Eleanor the Great, her directorial debut set to release this weekend.
The Balmain piece, a knitted strapless maxi, carried corset seams through the bodice and a ribbed finish that hugged the frame before breaking into a slit at the back. A gold zipper ran the length, keeping the design sharp without losing its edge. She locked the outfit with Balmain’s Anthem belt—black leather, oversized buckle, gold hardware—then layered on a choker, a thick bracelet, and stacks of rings and earrings.
The Hollywood star kept the palette all black, finishing with Prada strappy heels. Red lipstick gave the necessary pop; the rest of the makeup stayed understated, balancing out the impact. Her hair—blonde, center-parted, waved—was tucked back just enough to keep the focus on the dress. No fuss, no excess, just straight power dressing.
