Although it may sound like a cliché to say that someone has tried “every hairstyle in the book,” it is the only way to describe Scarlett Johansson’s hair journey. Before the Kardashians and other celebrities normalized the idea of transient hair changes, it was Scarlett who set the trend as the original chameleon in the industry. Let’s take a look back at Scarlett Johansson’s best hair moments.
In her early days, the Marvel star was known for her peroxide-dyed Old Hollywood waves. However, she quickly transitioned to edgier styles such as mullets and experimental fringes – typical looks from the 2000s. Throughout her career, she has tried nearly every length and color possible, but now her focus is on the pixie cut. Despite having just a few inches of hair remaining, she manages to style it in countless different ways.
Scarlett has walked the red carpet in a variety of styles, including puffed-up pompadours, tiaras, curtain bangs, bobs, bouffants, retro updos, and many other unique creations that have yet to be named. Let’s take a trip down memory lane and revisit some of her best hairstyles.
One of her standout looks is the Marilyn Monroe-inspired hairstyle.
Back in 2004, Johansson graced the Orange British Academy Film Awards in London with an entrance that made her a spitting image of Marilyn Monroe. This wasn’t the first time she did it, and it surely won’t be the last.
Back in the day, before curtain bangs became a popular trend on Instagram, Johansson was sporting a 70s hairstyle on TRL. It came as a surprise to many when the look didn’t stick around for long. The hairstyle was all about auburn curls.
In this old picture, we can see the famous actor who had previously changed her hair color from brunette to blonde, and eventually settled for an auburn shade. The photo was taken in 2008 when the extreme side part hairstyle was in trend. She also sported a retro faux bob that added a classic touch to her overall look.
If you’re someone who can’t commit to a particular hairstyle, the faux bob might be just the thing for you. Scarlett Johansson tried out this vintage-inspired look for a day before going back to her typical long and flowing waves. Although, she did actually cut her hair into a real bob a couple of years later. Meanwhile, after getting a pixie cut, the actress showed up at the Gotham Independent Film Awards sporting a punk rock look that could rival Kristen Stewart’s. And let’s not forget about the classic pompadour, which is always a great option.
In rapid fashion, Johansson effortlessly styled her signature pompadour. The tousled and curly locks on top were perfectly complemented by the tidy and shaved sides. However, as with most hairstyles, this look would only be temporary until her hair grows out again.
Fast forward to the year 2019 and we see that the actress has returned with a lob that gracefully touches her collarbone. However, her edginess remains intact as she slicks it back in the iconic style featured in the movie Grease during the screening of Marriage Story at the Venice Film Festival. It’s hard to categorize this hairstyle, but one thing is for sure – Scarlett Johansson rocks it effortlessly.
Even after all this time, the person who loves to experiment with hairstyles still amazes us with innovative creations like the bun-meets-ponytail style she showcased at the 26th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.
