THE GODDESS FROM SOUTH AFRICA

Style Icon: Scarlett Johansson


Scarlett Johansson is the modern day version of a classic Hollywood beauty with an elegant, feminine style that is admired around the world.

Although she may look like the perfect screen goddess these days- Scarlett didn't always find red carpet glamour so easy to achieve. Check out this outfit she wore back in 2003....





This was obviously before she realised how to make the most of her beautiful curves and learnt the age old mantra that sometimes 'less is more.'

Thank God Scarlett has come a long way in the last 5 years and has now developed a great red carpet style. She has been credited as bearing a resemblence to movie legend Marylin Monroe with her gorgeous blonde hair and hourglass shape and Scarlett certainly knows how to make the 50s screen siren look work for her.

This figure hugging red dress is simple yet perfect for Scarlett. It is modestly elegant while showing off her great waist shape and fab clevage.

Just because Scarlett knows the value of elegance doesn't mean she doesn't love to ... up the sex appeal factor too. She's very aware of her body shape and know which parts to show off in order to make the most of it.

This satin corset dress that she wore for the 2004 Oscars left very little to the imagination but Scarlett pulled it off brilliantly.

The lesson we should all learn from Scarlett is the importnace of being in tune with your body shape. She's not the average waif like Hollywood girl but Scarlett stays away from crash diets and makes the most of her fabulous curves by dressing to suit her shape.
