Scarlett Johansson just turned heads with her undeniable chemistry with SNL star husband Colin Jost.
On May 20, 2025, the Black Widow actress made a dazzling red carpet appearance alongside her husband at the 78th Cannes Film Festival, held at the iconic Palais des Festivals in the south of France.
The couple stepped out to attend the premiere of the French psychological thriller Vie Privée, starring Jodie Foster in the lead role.
For the event, Scarlett stunned in a flowing lavender Prada gown featuring a fitted corset-style bodice and a ruched, floor-sweeping skirt with a small train. She completed her look with a high bun, sparkling De Beers diamond earrings, a matching bracelet, and a bold red lip.
Colin, meanwhile, kept it timeless in a double-breasted black tuxedo paired with a crisp white dress shirt, leather dress shoes, and a classic bow tie. His gold wedding band perfectly topped off his look.
In a rare, adorable moment caught on camera, the lovebirds walked the red carpet hand in hand, flashing warm smiles to the crowd of photographers.
At one point, Scarlett looked up at her husband with a soft, affectionate gaze, which he returned with equal warmth, offering a rare glimpse into their undeniable chemistry.
