If contemporary fashion has you missing something a bit more of that classic glam Hollywood used to be famous for, it’s time to find inspiration in the woman who channel the past and make it modern. Take Scarlett Johansson: she’s a screen siren who knows how to rock the red carpet with her fearless style and embraces old Hollywood glamour when it comes to her fashion sense. If you’ve got curves to die for and aren’t afraid to show a little cleavage, this actress is your perfect style icon. Channel her look with these three tips:
#1. GO CLASSIC
Johansson regularly draws inspiration from classic film stars. In an interview with Elle magazine she said, “I love Old Hollywood, and I always go back to Lauren Bacall’s strong face and chic, signature look”. The actress is also often compared with Marilyn Monroe and with her white-hot blonde hair and curves it’s easy to see why. As Johansson seems to know, you can’t go wrong when copying the classic fashion of old world stars.

#2. KEEP IT STRUCTURED
The outfits that work best for Johansson all have plenty of structure. She wears evening gowns that are fitted at the waist for a sleek silhouette. Doing so makes the most of her incredible curves. If you’ve a body shape like ScarJo then balancing your outfit is important and cinching in at the middle will help to draw too much attention away from your top or bottom. Try a high waisted pencil skirt with a simple blouse for the office or a trench tied at the waist and paired with some red lips for casual glamour.

#3. DON’T GO OVER THE TOP
Johansson has mastered the fine balance of sexy and classy with her fashion choices. The key is to not go over the top when showing off her assets. You may notice that if she’s wearing a particularly busty dress, the length will generally extend to her knee or below. While she loves her red lipstick and dramatic eye make up, rarely will she put the two together. For stylish sex appeal learn to control your urge to show everything off.
