Scarlett Johansson Radiates Confidence in Chloé Suit and Balmain LBD While Promoting Eleanor the Great

Scarlett Johansson may be stepping behind the camera with her directorial debut, Eleanor the Great, but she’s certainly not stepping back when it comes to style.

At the special screening of her film at the Village East Theatre, Scarlett commanded attention in a white suit by Chloé, which perfectly captured her signature mix of elegance and confidence.

While promoting the film on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert days earlier, she showcased her usual sophistication in an all-black Balmain look that hugged her figure flawlessly. It was sleek but understated, proving Scarlett can shift effortlessly between sharp tailoring and curve-hugging allure with equal elegance.

Her film Eleanor the Great has already been making waves, debuting at the Cannes Film Festival and now earning positive reviews after its U.S. release on Friday, September 26. The project marks a major milestone in Scarlett’s career, showing her evolution from a celebrated actress to a promising filmmaker.

What I love most is how her style during the press tour reflects this new chapter of her career, remaining elegant yet powerful.

Let’s take a closer look at Scarlett Johansson’s outfits for her Eleanor the Great promotions.

Scarlett Johansson Stuns in White Chloé Suit, Lace Corset, and Elongating Platform Heels

For the New York screening of Eleanor the Great at the Village East Theatre, Scarlett Johansson turned heads in a striking white Chloé suit. She later carried the look into the after-party at Katz’s Delicatessen, hosted by Sony Pictures Classics and The Cinema Society, pairing a double-breasted grain de poudre wool blazer with matching $1,290 high-rise flared trousers that embodied the label’s signature refined tailoring.

Although the combo was clean and straightforward, I couldn’t help but notice that the proportions seemed a little off on her body. I thought that rather than lengthening her silhouette, the slouchy flow of the long sleeves and the floor-sweeping trousers shortened it. The entire appearance would have been crisper and sleeker if the pants had been cut at least an inch shorter.

Instead of embracing the shirtless blazer trend that’s popular among celebrities, Scarlett layered her suit over a lace corset top. It was still alluring, but in a way that felt more refined. The floral lace and semi-sheer panel added just the right touch of romance and sensuality, softening the masculine structure of the suit.

Bohemian Jewelry Accents and Hidden Platform Sandals

Scarlett punctuated her ivory suit with a bohemian-tinged statement: a David Webb Totem pendant strung with aquamarine, brown moonstone, and orange moonstone, its vibrant hues instantly drawing the eye.

She kept the rest of her accessories pared back with a delicate ring and earrings, letting the necklace command center stage.

Beneath her sweeping trousers, platform sandals subtly peeked through—likely in a matching white or warm metallic to complement her jewelry. Their lift added polish while elongating her petite 5 feet 3 inches (160 cm) frame, giving the suit a sleeker, more statuesque finish.

From Hollywood premieres to high-profile photocalls, celebrities continue to prove that sharp tailoring and statement footwear are the ultimate power duo. These moments highlight how heels transform structured looks into commanding fashion statements.

Celebrity Power Dressing Heels That Command Attention

Scarlett Johansson Radiates in a Sculptural Black Balmain Dress and Sleek Stiletto Sandals

Before the screening, Scarlett Johansson stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert to promote her directorial debut, and everyone’s eyes, including ours, were on her as she stepped out in a black Balmain dress that was far from your usual LBD.

Made in Italy, the dress hugged her curves beautifully, thanks to its reinforced corset bodice and ribbed knit side panels, which were trimmed with sheer fabric. At first glance, it seemed minimal, but the closer I looked, the more intricate details I noticed that made it special.

The ribbing, in particular, gave the dress a sculptural texture that added depth and dimension, elevating the classic black silhouette into something far more striking. The fitted bodice, designed with a sweetheart neckline and corset-inspired seams, sculpted Scarlett’s figure beautifully before tapering into a sleek, narrow skirt that highlighted her curves.

Her waist was defined even further with Balmain’s “Anthem” leather belt, priced at $750 at Net-a-Porter. It featured a large gold-tone buckle nodding to the label’s signature bag of the same name.

Finishing the Look: Gold Jewelry, Soft Glam, and Sleek Black Sandals

Black and gold is always a winning mix, and Scarlett made the most of it with her Sidney Garber jewelry. She wore the $28,000 “Collana D’Oro” necklace, a wide 18k gold ribbed band that echoed the dress’s texture. She added small hoop earrings and the $29,500 “Rolling” bracelet, a three-strand design made from a single loop of lightweight gold that wrapped around her wrist.

Her golden tresses were styled in soft waves, tucked behind her ear, and cascading down her back. I loved how her rosy blush and bold red lipstick added warmth and color against her all-black outfit.

She grounded the look with minimalist black slingback sandals, their delicate buckle and slim stiletto heel adding just enough lift without distracting from the sculptural lines of her Balmain dress. The open-toe design kept the ensemble light and modern, perfectly echoing the dress’s sleek silhouette.
