Scarlett Johansson Turns Heads in Jimmy Choo Heels at Infinity War Premiere Despite Just 5 Minutes of Screen Time

When Avengers: Infinity War premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles in April 2018, the scale of the ensemble cast was unprecedented.

Despite being a cornerstone of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU), Scarlett Johansson’s Natasha Romanoff (Black Widow) clocked just five minutes of screen time—ranking 13th among the film’s sprawling roster of heroes and villains.

While her on-screen presence in this specific chapter was brief, Johansson’s trajectory from her $400,000 debut in Iron Man 2 (2010) to the multi-million dollar salaries of the later Avengers films solidified her status as Hollywood’s premier action icon.

Off-screen, however, she commanded the spotlight during the film’s global press tour, using the red carpet to transition from the tactical black Widow suit to a series of high-fashion looks anchored by her signature footwear choices.

With the Avengers cast assembled and flashbulbs firing, Johansson used the Infinity War premiere on April 23, 2018, to showcase more than a sleek silver gown and leg-lengthening stilettos. The evening also marked a significant personal moment.

In April 2018, Scarlett Johansson made her first official public appearance with her boyfriend, Colin Jost, at the “Avengers: Infinity War” premiere.

The cute couple, who started dating sometime around May 2017, looked lovingly into each other’s eyes and held hands for many of their red carpet pictures.

Scarlett made it hard for Colin to take his eyes off of her in an Erdem Fall 2018 silver strapless dress that highlighted her toned shoulders and cleavage.

She also showed some leg and her dress’s sheer, polka-dotted lining through a sexy, thigh-high split.

Though the Lost in Translation actress was rocking a bizarre, cowlicked helmet hairdo, she more than made up for it with her amazing pink-and-purple eye makeup.

The Ghost World actress completed her look with a Move High Jewelry Addiction choker from Messika by Gigi Hadid, a Messika High Jewelry Miss Milla double ring, and a pair of Jimmy Choo “Minny” sandals in black velvet.

The Jimmy Choo Minny is a minimalist, red-carpet favorite sandal featuring a barely-there silhouette, a slim toe strap, and a delicate ankle strap.

Set on a stiletto heel (typically 85mm or 100mm), it’s crafted in Italy from luxe materials like satin, suede, patent leather, and metallic finishes—perfect for elongating the leg and elevating any formal ensemble.

Her new boyfriend wasn’t the only thing Scarlett flaunted on the “Avengers: Infinity War” premiere purple carpet.

She also showed off some new ink on her upper back. The tattoo, which was only of a lamb at the “Rough Night” premiere, has now grown to include a branch of roses and leaves.

The Jimmy Choo “Minny” sandals are a huge celebrity favorite. The velvet variation, like Scarlett’s, has been spotted on Emma Stone, Chrissy Teigen, Mandy Moore, and Taraji P. Henson.

From the sleek black velvet Jimmy Choo “Minny” sandals she wore to the Avengers: Infinity War premiere to the crystal-embellished stilettos and polished pumps she favors at awards shows and international film festivals, Scarlett Johansson consistently builds her red carpet looks from the ground up.

Whether anchoring a metallic Erdem gown with barely-there straps or elevating couture with classic pointed-toe pumps, her footwear choices reflect a deliberate balance of leg-lengthening silhouettes, luxury craftsmanship, and understated glamour.
