People.com's special on Scarlett's style
CANNES COOL
At the Cannes Film Festival in May, Johansson opted for a pleated Imitation of Christ Couture dress. "It's a very flirty skirt, which she pairs with a demure heel and a ladylike clutch," says PEOPLE StyleWatch writer Danielle Dubin.
VELVET GOLDMINE
"This is truest to Scarlett's real sense of fashion, which is very edgy and dark," says Dubin of the actress's velvet pantsuit at an event in Pasadena, Calif., early this year. "The very skinny pant leg is popular in jeans now as well as formal wear."
CORAL VISION
"I wanted to go Old Hollywood," Johansson told PEOPLE about the Roland Mouret gown she wore to January's Golden Globes. Completing the retro look: "Veronica Lake hair, arched eyebrows and dramatic red lips," says Dubin. "She always accentuates her lips. She knows they're one of her most striking features."
IN THE JEANS

TRL earlier this month; at Cannes in May; in Beverly Hills in May) works a variety of denim styles. "A lot of actresses find one pair of jeans they look great in and stick to it," says Dubin. "She is as bold and varied in her jeans choices as she is in her red carpet looks."
SKIRTING THE ISSUE
Outside L.A. in June, Johansson had a boho moment in a tie-dyed peasant skirt, tight-fitting tee and cardigan. "Even when she's dressed down, you never see her in big, baggy clothing," says Dubin.
