Scarlett Johansson has served up major fashion goals! 

The Avengers starlet made a surprise public appearance at the 2026 BFI London Film Festival on Saturday, October 10th, 2026.   

Notably, the 41-year-old popular American actress stunned in a strapless red dress which showed off her huge back tattoos as she attended the Ray Gunn premiere.  

She has promoted an upcoming computer-animated science-fiction mystery film directed by Brad Bird.  

During the special screening, Scarlett has multiple tattoos, with her most prominent being a large black-and-grey back piece featuring a vine of roses and a baby lamb, alongside a matching Avengers logo tattoo. 

Rose Vine and Baby Lamb 

The design is an intricate vine of blooming roses running down her back, paired with a resting baby lamb. 


It was created by tattoo artist Joshua Lord and debuted publicly around 2017-2018. 

While Johansson has kept quiet about the official meaning, many fans and media outlets note it is widely considered a sweet nod to her daughter, Rose Dorothy Dauriac. 

She also paid a subtle homage to her film, The Avengers, as she combined the Avengers 'A' symbol with the number six, representing the original core team members. 

However, five of the original six cast members got the matching tattoo to commemorate their time in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Scarlett turned heads in the dress, which she paired with strappy heels to boost her height and accessorized with a simple gold necklace. 

The red number showed off the huge flower vine and lamb inking on her back, which she got in 2017. 

She also revealed the secrets to her health and beauty routine to maintain her radiant complexion and natural beauty. 

The critically acclaimed star said she partakes in biohacking for digestion and takes a specific supplement as part of her daily routine amid her busy schedule.
