Scarlett Johansson Ditches Marvel for Bombshell Glamour

As autumn settles in and temperatures start to drop, Dakota Johnson is refusing to retire her signature “underwear-as-outerwear” look. At Milan Fashion Week, she demonstrated how to stylishly adapt a sheer sundress—often associated with summer—into a chic fall ensemble.

Attending Gucci’s spring 2025 runway show, designed by Sabato de Sarno, Johnson turned heads with a stunning bridal white sundress embellished with textured, sparkling florals. The dress featured a scalloped hem and a playful tie front, giving it a fresh and modern twist. While she wore a matching white bra and underwear beneath the dress, she chose to layer a stylish coat on top instead of going solo, which is a move she has frequently made on red carpets.

For this occasion, Johnson draped an oversized black jacket inspired by menswear over her shoulders. She completed her look with sleek black accessories, including Gucci’s mini “Jackie” bag adorned with silver hardware, and simple slingback heels. Her relaxed waves and natural makeup added an effortless elegance, showcasing her ability to blend comfort with high fashion.

The trend of sheer fabrics has become a staple in celebrity wardrobes, and Johnson has adopted this look frequently. Just last month at New York Fashion Week, she turned heads in a daring Gucci gown at Kering’s Caring for Women event. The dress featured a classic white skirt paired with a dazzling, web-like bodice that revealed a hint of skin. As she moved to and from the venue, she sported a black suit jacket over her gown, mirroring her Milan look.

This creative styling approach isn’t new for Johnson. At a previous Gucci runway show in Seoul, she paired a delicate, lace black dress that showcased her bra with a knee-length trench coat, proving that sheer can transition beautifully from season to season.

While many might be tempted to stow away their summer dresses in favor of bulky fall layers, Dakota Johnson’s latest outfit is a reminder that one can enjoy the best of both worlds. Before heading to Milan, she was seen at London Fashion Week, where she explored the latest collections from her favorite British designers.

During the event, she attended designer Marco Capaldo’s showcase for 16Arlington, a brand she has favored for red carpet events. Johnson sported a relatively simple dress adorned with an abstract floral pattern and complemented it with quirky lace-up shoes that blended the styles of sandals and ballet flats.

Simultaneously, Simone Ashley has also been making a splash with her fashion choices. Recently, she expertly mixed classic power suits with exposed lingerie, attending Nensi Dojaka’s spring 2025 show in a striking black micro-mini skirt and a boxy jacket paired with a semi-sheer black bra. For Prada’s runway show, Ashley added a touch of glam to a simple little black dress with a standout neckline, cementing her status as a style icon for the upcoming season.

On another front, Scarlett Johansson is taking a different path as she voices a character in the new animated film Transformers One. Although she portrays Elita-1, a robot warrior, she opted for classic red carpet glamour at the film’s premiere, stepping away from thematic dressing.

Johansson arrived at the London event in a stunning Saint Laurent gown that showcased her figure in a rich shade of autumn red. The dress featured ruched details that accentuated her waist, long sleeves, and an elegant off-the-shoulder neckline. She paired the floor-length gown with black sandal heels, opting for matte lipstick that perfectly matched her dress. To complete her look, she chose smokey eyeshadow in a complementary burnt red and styled her blonde hair impeccably, accessorized with sparkling diamond jewelry.

While it would have been easy for Johansson to channel her character through a futuristic ensemble—similar to Zendaya’s Mugler robosuit at the Dune premiere—she chose instead to highlight her classic style, which aligns with the animated nature of the film.

Earlier this week, Johansson shared her excitement about her role in Transformers One, which was specifically written for her by director Josh Cooley. “It was a surprise to me,” she admitted. “It’s such a great script with cinematic qualities and a lot of heart. This film has amazing messaging and is genuinely funny, too.”

She also discussed the physical demands of voice acting, drawing parallels to her experience in action roles like Black Widow and Endgame. “You’re squatting, punching, and running in place,” she explained. “It’s very physical, but it brings the action to life.”

As the fall season unfolds, both Dakota Johnson and Scarlett Johansson continue to dazzle with their fashion choices. Their ability to blend seasonal trends with personal style reinforces the idea that fashion knows no boundaries. Whether it’s through sheer dresses layered with coats or striking gowns on the red carpet, these talented actresses are redefining the landscape of modern fashion, making it clear that creativity can thrive in any season.
