Scarlett Johannson’s Mango promotional look: exhausted or cute?

fp_5924799_trg_johansson_scarlett_102010

God, I feel tired just looking at Scarlett Johansson in these photos. She was in Madrid to promote Mango, the co-sponsor of the Spanish Fashion Awards, because she’s the corpsey face of the Mango label and has been for a couple of years. I usually hate her Mango ads because they tend to de-emphasize what is pretty about ScarJo, and leave her looking like some grey, frozen corpse, which I personally don’t find attractive, and I don’t think it helps sell clothes. So the idea was already in my head: ScarJo + Mango = Corpsey. So it’s not shocking when she shows up at this event looking like hell.

Hell for ScarJo, obviously. Not the “hell” in which normal people often look like. She just looks exhausted, and this haircut – once considered cute – if kind of offensive in its badness now. It just looks like a stringy mess. ScarJo looks totally out of it too. Like she needs a nap. Shocking, because that’s normally how I feel when I look at her. She’s so… over-hyped.

I think I’ve mentioned in other posts that I recently saw Iron Man 2, but I don’t think I’ve discussed my thoughts on ScarJo. Um… was anyone else expecting something completely different from her role? The way her part was being promoted and all of the hype around it, I thought she was going to have a major role, and she just didn’t. She was just there until her big fight scene, and that was completely boring too, just boring in a different way. Ugh. I’m kind of over ScarJo.

    I think she looks cute but her facial expressions read exhausted. I guess she is tired but I think she is adorable. I have the hugest crush on her.

  2. Kaboom says:

    I’d put the exhausted look down to weird eye makeup.

  3. Moi says:

    I’m normally not a big fan of hers, but I’m loving this haircut! The whole look is nice.

  4. spinner says:

    She looks great!! Love her hair.

  5. mln says:

    She has that open mouthed look like she may have a cold or something. BUT she is also well put together and gorgeous as usual.

  6. Heavenbound says:

    So I guess short hair is in this season. Everybody seems to be getting a shorter and blonder style.

  7. Merry says:

    She is starting to look a lot like Charlize Theron, no?
    Looks good here.

  8. marge says:

    bad makeup! BAD!
    her eyes look a mile away from each other, and it makes her look almost as looking to a differnet directions with each one (like a chamaleon)

  9. Lee says:

    Her skin is glowing. Her lips are pink and juicy. Her eye make-up looks great. I don’t get the corpsey comments at all. The dress and necklace are hideous but she actually looks really pretty here. Why can’t I get my skin to look like that?!? Dammit!

  10. samigirl says:

    She looks a LOT thinner. I prefer my sturdier scarjo.

  11. dorothy says:

    exhausted.

  12. SallyJay says:

    I put it down to bad eye make-up and those shoes – seriously she looks like her feet hurt. She’s normally smokin’ hot though.

  13. Azreen says:

    I don’t know about corpsey, but if she’s exhausted or didn’t get enough sleep, then she’d likely have a cold and be open-mouthed a lot. Yea, I don’t particularly like the eye make-up. In fact, the make up in general. Does MANGO make make-up?

    Anyway, I think her hair is nice. Everyone is doing this kind of ombre colour this season, and she’s doing it on short hair which makes it different from the rest. If it wasn’t a little tousled like that it won’t look stringy but it probably would look really thin and without any body either.

  14. fifi says:

    she looks good and i absolutely adore the haircut! 🙂

  15. Sara says:

    The eye makeup is horrible. Otherwise everything else looks great!

  16. esblondie says:

    She is looking thinner than normal. Where is my curvy, bosomy Scarlett?

  17. mystified says:

    I’ve always had a problem with Scarlett’s forehead, or should I say threehead. I think she has beautiful features but I find low foreheads like hers to be extremely unattractive. I think her threehead was one of the reasons she seemed so unconvincing to me in that multilingual genius role she played in Iron Man II.

    Intellectually, I know that those with threeheads aren’t necessarily dumber than the rest of us–and that for all I know Scarlett may be a Mensa member in real life — but to me they look dumber.

    I’m not the only one that thinks this either; after all they used Neil Patrick Harris who has an obvious fivehead to play boy genius, Doogy Hauser.

  18. LolaBella says:

    I love her entire look with the exception of the garish necklace.

    I don’t think she’s too thin at all; she looks good and I LOVE her haircut.

    I saw Iron Man 2 last week and I *was* underwhelmed by her character as well as Mickey Rourke’s. They were both so hyped that I went in with really high expectations for both their characters and was disappointed.

  19. Shawna says:

    Looks like they actually want Taylor Swift, no? and yet ScarJo is so much prettier.

  20. gee says:

    She looks great, just a little thin and a little tired. Like she needs a nap and a sandwich. Otherwise, she’s beautiful as per usual.

  21. Laura says:

    I think her acting talent is waaay overrated, and I think her looks are overrated too. And her performance in Iron Man was terrible! Anyone coulda done the part better than her! I didn’t see the fight scene because I totally fell asleep halfway through that mess.

  22. Novaraen says:

    Great hair and really bad makeup. That black liner on the inside of her lids makes her look squinty.

  23. MissVJJ says:

    She’s losing too much weight, but she is soooo beautiful!

  24. Hilldog says:

    HATE THE SHOES…there is no excuse for a young starlet to wear grandma heels…sorry just a pet peeve of mine….she doesn’t look her best, but everyone is entitled to off days…even people with styling teams…can you imagine all the jet lag and busy promotional schedules….I do think she has lost a little too much weight, but whatever makes her happy.

  25. Jackson says:

    She looks like I feel – and I feel like crap. Maybe she’s just tired, or fighting a cold, or flu, or both? Hmm. Maybe she did her own makeup? IDK, but whatever the cause she is not looking good. And the outfit doesn’t work either. Ugh. Maybe she should have stayed home.

  26. Isabel says:

    She looks like Posh. She also looks like she’s been crying.

  27. Jacquie says:

    She kinda looks like she just came off a week long bender. She’s in serious need of sleep and food.

  28. heathen says:

    I’ve noticed that she hasn’t been looking as good as she used to (not just at this event, and not “bad” just not as good as she used to) & she’s lost a lot of weight. Also, while she seemed to have potential acting-wise, I don’t think lately she’s been living up to that potential. It all makes me wonder what is going on with her.
    But, meh, I’m not that concerned. I’m over her too.

  29. Str8Shooter says:

    Aha! So that’s where that third Olsen Twin has been hiding all this time!!

    She’s the lucky one…no crazy grandma eyes!

  30. gabs says:

    Such a boring overrated actress. Still amazingly gorgeous though. I dont think she looks bad here aside from the hair. Its the hair that makes the difference.
    She was so weak as black widow. No energy.

  31. skibunny says:

    Neanderthal looking! Sorry that’s really mean of me. I dislike her hair too. At least in this photo.

  32. walker says:

    Ugh! She looks corpsey here! Terrible… just terrible!

  33. Johnny Depp's Girl says:

    HATTTTEEEE the hair.. I was hoping she had is up but nooooo…. its semi permanent..

    I am not a huge fan either, I dont think she’s a great actress. I usually do not rush out to see her in movies. I only see her when she happens to b in a movie I want to see.

  34. lu says:

    She is cute, always has been. But I agree that she looks tired, it doesn’t have to do with the makeup and the clothes maybe she is just tired.

  35. Tia C says:

    I’m kind of over her, too. When I first started seeing her in movies I thought she was the next great thing. Then I saw a few more and realized she’s the same in every movie. Cute, but has limited acting range. More than being tired, she looks totally baked here, IMO.

  36. Donna Wingfield says:

    I don’t think she’s attractive at all, anywhere, anytime.

  37. serena says:

    She looks a bit tired but, hey, she’s fantastic. I love her haircut and colour, and the eyes makeup, and HELL I want those shoes.

  38. GirlyGIrl says:

    She probably just watched herself in Iron Man II. Her performance put me to sleep.

  39. jover says:

    Not impressed at all just another wannabee trying to cash in a little extra and play at being a fashionista. The days of celebs setting fashion trends are over; most people don’t even pay attention to this stuff. Oh for the days when actresses acted in great fun films and models – mannequins as they were called – did this stuff. THis girl is way overrated – besides in my book you are not beautiful if you need/have plastic enhancements – you are just another boring plastic starlet of which there are plenty in hollyyawn.

  40. Camille says:

    Your write up and thoughts about ScarJo are spot on Kaiser. That is exactly how I feel about her- she is totally over-hyped. And her role in Iron Man 2 was completely redundant and yes, incredibly boring.

  41. TeeTee says:

    one of my fav, young actresses.

    gorgeous but tired.

  42. kimberly says:

    glassy eyed
    hmmmm . . .

  43. Mari says:

    Kudos to her for being able to pull this short hair off.
    I, on the other hand, would look like Cathy from the Dilbert comic strip. Short and thick hair in the south are a rather disagreeable combination.

  44. Elle says:

    She definitely lost weight but she looks soooo different! Looks like she got botox all over her forehead.

  45. original kate says:

    i thought it was posh, too! scarlett is losing too much weight and is getting that bobble-headed look.

  46. Marjalane says:

    Definitely overrated. As hard as Woody Allen tried to make her a mega star, I just don’t think she had the talent to go there. I think she and Ryan Reynolds are both very pretty, but boring as hell. And that haircut is hideous- it’s as if some la-de-da high end stylist proclaimed it chic and everyone’s laughing behind her back.

  47. Jo 'Mama' Besser says:

    Surgery and weightloss?

  48. Sally says:

    Hate the whole look! Put on some weight back on please ScarJo – and wear something colourful.

  49. Anti-icon says:

    I do not understand this star-let. She is pretty, but not stunning. She can act, but not that well. She seems utterly devoid of any personality, but is married to a hottie; but they are rarely seen together. Is she relying totally on the mystery angle?

  50. Vicky Cathay says:

    If the Mango Professional look is to look high, she nailed it. Usually you have to pay to get that look, and she is actually getting paid to look stoned. How lucky can a girl get?

  51. Kate says:

    I like the make-up (but not up close)

    I like the hair; very cute.

    The shoes look like they came from Payless (not a bad thing, but those shoes are lacking that “oomph” I have come to expect from movie stars.)

    I actually think she looks great.

  52. Jag says:

    Don’t like the hair at all, but love the eye makeup and her shoes. Her skin always looks so pretty, too.

  53. Hairdo looks corpsey – sorta like the general way she’s styled in all those magazine spreads!

  54. Mouse says:

    I agree about how she looks in these photos. And I just plain didn’t enjoy anything about Iron Man 2 except RDJ with his shirt off. But I just watched The Other Boleyn Girl and I watched Girl With a Pearl Earring a couple weeks ago, and I really like ScarJo in both of them.

  55. animac says:

    fantastic change!!!! bravo!!!

  56. nsfw says:

    It’s the hair for the most part that’s making her look raggedy…

  57. KC says:

    I’m not over ScarJo 😀 I think she looks so cute 😀
