Scarlett Johansson in Haney at the TIFF ‘Sing’ premiere: cute or dated?

wenn29513198

True story: it sometimes feels like Scarlett Johansson can go a full year without even walking a red carpet. It’s not that she never works or anything, but g—damn, ScarJo is GREAT at going underground. If she doesn’t want to be seen for six months, she will not be seen. It’s a surprising quality in a movie star. Anyway, these are photos of Scarlett in Toronto for the TIFF premiere of her new animated film, Sing. I love her in red! Her blousy dress is by Haney. It looks like an updated version of a costume from Nine-to-Five. My favorite part of this look? ScarJo is keeping her hair pretty short, and it seems like she’s completely borrowed Hillary Clinton’s old hairstyle. I actually wish Hillary would go back to this hairstyle, I think it’s more flattering on Hills than Scars.

As for this animated film… I mean, it’s weird because the concept seems so weirdly obvious. Take the popularity of singing-competition shows and use animated, anthropomorphized animals instead. BAM!

I imagine this will be a huge hit? Right?

I’m also including photos of Reese Witherspoon at the same premiere – Reese wore Ulyana Sergeenko. This looks like a cocktail dress from the 1980s. It’s so weird that both Scarlett and Reese chose such dated looks!

    Reese looks like the twin of her 17-year-old daughter Ava. It’s creepily uncanny!

    Scarlett should grow her hair out but she pulls off even this dated look.

  2. AbrarAk says:

    What a cute look on RW!

    • Hannah says:

      This dated look works better in Reese cause she’s not the fashion girl as Scarlett believes she is.

    • ichsi says:

      Absolutely, I love that dress and it’s the first time in a long time that I don’t mind nude heels? They really fit here.

  3. JenniferJustice says:

    Both cute dresses IMO. Just don’t like the curtain toile pattern of Reeses’ dress.

  4. Danielle says:

    I don’t like Scarlett with the short hair.

  5. Chaine says:

    Reese makes her dated look look good, and the dress flatters her. Scarlett, no. Dress is awful and the hair just compounds the dated-ness. This whole look is frumpy and aging on her.

  6. Myrna says:

    Ah…scarlet can do NO wrong in my eyes.
    I find the dress elegant with a contemporary flare – not dated at all.

    And Reese looks lovely as well.

    Perhaps my taste is more classic and timeless.
    Both of these looks never go out of style.

    • Mika says:

      Agreed. The dress is classic and quite fitting for an ordinary lady but I understand the sentiment in this post that the dress does not “fit” in a red carpet setting.

  7. susiecue says:

    I feel like Scarlett just gets better and better looking as she gets older

    • original kay says:

      I know! I wasn’t aware of her until Lucy, and now I can’t see her movies enough. There is something compelling about her, her look and acting.

    • SM says:

      I feel the same way. I really like her with short hair. I hope she keeps it

  8. moon says:

    Talk about aging gracefully but looking edgy! LOVE Scarjo’s look, and I have to say red hair really doesn’t suit her…Love this dress and colour.

    • teacakes says:

      Scarjo isn’t even 32, let’s hope she resists the temptation to get (or, failing all else, overdo) botox and fillers. She seems pretty self-aware about aging in Hollywood = less work, so I hope she doesn’t do anything crazy to her face, it doesn’t need it.

    • Blaire Carter says:

      yikes. aging gracefully? our society (if you’re an American) sucks.

  9. teacakes says:

    I would wear Scarjo’s dress, I’m all about those pussy-bow blouses and the neck detail+cute silhouette does it for me.

    I would not, however, wear her hair but that is because it takes her face to pull it off. It’s totally political-grandma Hillary Clinton hair but on her, weirdly, it’s working.

  10. Fiorella says:

    Both very cute and fresh

  11. Coconut says:

    80s style is coming back in home decor so it’s prob coming back in fashion too, so their dresses are edgy and new rather than old.

    • Prairiegirl says:

      The ’80s are coming back in fashion and they’re definitely back in make-up. All that ‘plum’ lipstick that’s hot right now? Straight out of 1985-88.

    • isabelle says:

      The highwaisted shorts and pants. Good gawd they were bad the first time around and make the best butt in the world look like a grandma butt.

  12. mee says:

    Scarlett look is cute and I saw that bow ties are back in, so its not dated as much as a trending fashion redux. Reese’s look is an upholstered 80s or 50s sofa. I don’t like fussy southern belle styles so that’s just me

  13. Neelyo says:

    She looks like a young Hillary Clinton in the header pic.

  14. Malificent says:

    It’s what the hot secretary wore to the office Christmas luncheon in 1982.

  15. emmyb1608 says:

    I thought it was Tea Leoni in the header picture! Sometimes Scarlett looks she’s a bobble head squeezed into a dress too small to accentuate her boobs, but she looks so lovely here.

  16. Skins says:

    Lucy!

  17. SusanneToo says:

    I love Scarlett, but that dress is godawful.

  18. Sasha says:

    This bright red color really suits Scarlett. But what is noticeable to me right away, though, is not her dress but her “star” quality. She has so much charisma.

  19. I Choose Me says:

    I love that color on Scarlet but the hair, NEWP. Reese on the other hand has great styling which works great with the dress.

  20. idontknowyouyoudontknowme says:

    I really like Reese’s look here, she looks very fresh and the outfit is really flattering to her figure. Scarlett… imo doesn’t pull off outfits and hair like the one she is sporting here. I like her better with longer slightly wavy hair, which softens her face. Being compared to Hillary at 32 is not the look to shoot for.

  21. KBeth says:

    Love the dress & shoes on her….hair is terrible.
    Reece’s dress is terribly unflattering.

  22. Becki says:

    I love ScarJo’s dress, the color on her is fabulous!! I’m not a fan of the hair, but she pulls it off better than other stars have. Reese, just NO. Nope, nope, nope. I hate the fabric of the dress, the color AND the buttons. Ugh, it looks terrible.

  23. Bridget says:

    Reese looks like she stole that off the set of Working Girl.

  24. Amanda DG says:

    That’s some bad 90’s soccer mom hair on Scarlett, but she manages to pull it off.

  25. msd says:

    I like SJ more and more each year. Yes, the hair is arguably an ageing style but when everyone else in the industry is desperately trying to look younger, it strikes me as refreshing. And yes, she does just disappear for months at a time, which just goes to show that you can do it if you really want to.

  26. A Fan says:

    Scarlett looks great. Love her hair. Cute and refreshing compared to all the Housewives of Wherever hair (ahem, Reese).
