We haven't seen the lovely Scarlett Johansson on the red carpet in MONTHS since she started rehearsals for the Arthur Miller play "A View From the Bridge."
While theater critics praised her performance, we Scar-Jo fashion fans were confused by the mousy grandma dress she wore for the play's premiere this week. Her frumpy frock looked like the costume for the post-war Italian-American betrothed character she plays on stage.
Not that Johansson can't wow us in retro looks: At her last big red-carpet moment, the star looked divine in a perfect pencil skirt by Mango, her namesake red lips and romantic curls.
Is this star's recent look an "upgrade" or a "downgrade" from her last one?
