Scarlett Johansson Made a Striking Appearance on “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”

In a black Balmain midi dress, Scarlett Johansson  revived the Y2K-era statement belt for her Monday appearance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert in New York City. The two-time Oscar nominee and Prada’s newest campaign ambassador wore pieces from Olivier Rousteing’s pre-fall 2025 Balmain collection. The strapless dress had a sweetheart neckline with delicately exposed seams near the bust, cinched at the waist with a dramatic black belt with a gold trim.

Back in the early 2000s, fashion leaned heavily on low-rise jeans and flashy designs, but today designers like Rousteing are giving the trend a refined update with sharp tailoring and rich details. Johansson’s outfit captured this shift perfectly, blending with modern sophistication to bring freshness to a once playful trend.

She rounded out the look with strappy black heels and jewelry from Sidney Garber. Her makeup included a delicate rose lip paired with smoky eyes that added depth without overpowering the outfit. Her blonde hair fell smoothly around her shoulders, giving the outfit a chic, graceful touch.

The look was styled by award-winning stylist Kate Young, who has been particularly busy crafting Johansson’s red carpet appearances in recent months. All this effort leads up to her directorial debut, Eleanor The Great, premiering today, September 26. The film follows Eleanor (June Squibb) as she navigates a devastating loss and embarks on a surprising journey. This project marks an exciting new chapter in Johanasson’s career.
