Since at least 2015, Scarlett Johansson’s hair has gone through some radical changes. The actress said goodbye to extra-long blonde - sometimes brown - hair and wore it short, very short! The result? Irreverent, risk-taking hairstyles, brimming with sensuality. But the look she sported during her bad girl phase ended in 2019. She is now rocking a style that allows her to style updos of all kinds.
The Avengers star never hesitates to try soft, voluminous, and daring hairstyles. So we have the perfect excuse to take a trip down memory lane of this star’s most memorable updos that accompanied her at key moments in her successful career. Read on to relive 15 of her best styles.
Show off your Bling
One of the great things about wearing your hair up is that your accessories will become one of the focal points of your look. So, take advantage of wearing your hair up to wear striking pieces, just like Scarlett did at the 2004 Golden Globes
Feature-sharpening side bangs
This hairstyle, which she wore to the 2004 Venice Film Festival, not only achieved a relaxed look, but it is also a look that favors girls with fuller faces: simple side bangs. These bangs bring out your features and make your face look thinner.
Bling also applies to your updo
Undoubtedly, this is one of the actress’ most romantic looks. She chose to highlight her messy updo with a fabulous headband at the 2005 Academy Awards
Give your look a touch of old Hollywood
In addition to the striking color of her hair, the vintage waves in this style made a big splash on the red carpet of the premiere of one of the actress’ biggest hits, The Prestige, in 2006. A memorable look full of elegance.
A provocative hairstyle
This sensual updo, which she wore to the 2008 Berlin International Film Festival, was one of her most striking, both due to the hairstyle itself and her dramatic eyeliner, which is something the actress doesn't usually wear.
Adding volume is always a good idea
A bun with lots of volume will sharpen your features and it is the perfect way to leave your neck uncovered to show off a beautiful choker, as the actress did during a special benefit gala in 2008.
Perfect for asymmetrical, fluffy necklines
This outfit would not be the same with her hair down. Her hairstyle was perfect to make the most of the structured, asymmetrical ruffled neckline she wore to the premiere of Iron Man 2 in 2010.
Combining a slicked-back look with volume
Hair slicked back on the sides and volume on top is a classic way to add elegance to any look. This was certainly the perfect complement to the outfit she wore on the red carpet of the 2010 Tony Awards.
Messy touches for an elegant yet relaxed look
An updo with a bit of movement is possible. The tidal-wave effect is achieved thanks to subtle waves throughout the hairstyle, which perfectly highlighted her strapless neckline at the premiere of Marvel's The Avengers in 2012.
A retro touch to your hairstyle
No, it’s not Pink, it’s Scarlett Johansson showing that she can wear any style – or better put, any era – in her hairstyles. She wore this 1940s classic on the Late Show With David Letterman in 2012.
Half-updos are also a great idea
If you want to get the best of both worlds, try putting your hair into a ponytail like the actress did for the premiere of Don Juan in 2013.
A classic low bun will always be a winner
This classic will never let you down and is perfect for showing off a neckline accompanied by an amazing choker. A great look worn by Scarlett at the 2013 Venice Film Festival.
Polished ponytail
As we’ve already mentioned, pulling your hair up while leaving part of it down is an excellent idea. The polished touch is always very elegant, but remember that it will look best on oval and long faces.
She showed off this slick hairstyle on the red carpet of the 2014 César Awards.
Return to long hair
From 2014, when the actress first cut her hair short, we leap to 2019 when she returned to long locks. She showed off this beautiful updo with one playful loose strand at The Avengers: Endgame photocall.
Up and very polished
A well-defined middle parting, with super polished, shiny-looking hair. This is a beautiful look that you can emulate at home. Give this updo a try just like the star did this year at the Toronto Film Festival.
After seeing these photos, you have got to be more than inspired for your next updo. Which one is your fave?
