Star Style Wars: Scarlett Johansson V. Natalie Portman, Round 3
The publicity machine for The Other Boleyn Girl has now reached London, giving Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman yet another opportunity to prove who is the most stylish of the Boleyn girls – an important question, we’re sure you’ll agree.
ScarJo and Nat were neck and neck after rounds one and two of this game: will round three see a winner start to emerge, we wonder? For the London premiere, we think Scarlett got it wrong again, choosing a silver dress that isn’t hideous, but which isn’t particularly flattering on her either. We can only assume this is the reason Natalie, in her much nicer address, is assuming this saintly, Virgin-Mary-esque pose, as she looks down her nose and wonders why the hell Scarlett can’t just straighten up already. You know, like her.
Feel like knocking Saint Nat off that pedestal she seems to be on, or do you think she has good reason to be on it? Who’s the winner of this round of Star Style Wars: The Boleyn edition?
i actually think Scarlet Johanson’s dress looks better. Natalie’s is like a badly cut pair of drapes. It’s weird looking. But i do think that Natalie’s hair and makeup is better.
Natalie wins.
is is just me or does scarJo look like madonna here…just putting it out there…
i agree…love the sliver dress and hate the red drapes, but the red brings out the pink in natalie’s cheeks and the sliver makes scarjo look a little washed out…since she has pale hair and pale skin to match, there’s no ‘pop’ in that outfit and makeup combo
@ Amaris – yes, it’s the paleness that puts me off this outfit on Scarlett, too. It’s not a bad dress, I just don’t think it’s particularly working for her here. And yes, she does look a little Madonna-esque!
I agree, they both look awful! SJ’s dress and hair are unflattering. And yes, Natalie is clearly wearing a pair of curtains.
Although I like SJ’s dress more, I think NP looks better. SJ looks to much like Madonna for comfort.
i like what sj did. natalie’s dress just looks uncomfortable, while sj’s dress looks like she can breathe. might explain the colour in natalie’s cheeks – she can’t breathe!
