Oscars 2017: Scarlett Johansson Returns to the Red Carpet in Head-Turning Style
"I think the idea of marriage is very romantic; it's a beautiful idea, and the practice of it can be a very beautiful thing," the actress told Playboy in February. "I don't think it's natural to be a monogamous person. I might be skewered for that, but I think it’s work. It’s a lot of work. And the fact that it is such work for so many people — for everyone — the fact of that proves that it is not a natural thing. It's something I have a lot of respect for and have participated in, but I think it definitely goes against some instinct to look beyond."
Scarlett Johansson‘s return to the Oscars red carpet was a glamorous one. The newly single star stepped out in style wearing a purple printed floor-skimming gown with a sheer skirt and a statement belt.
Johansson, 32, is presenting at the this year’s show, and opened up on the red carpet about the importance of practicing her walk across the stage.
“You can never have enough rehearsal,” the actress told Ryan Seacrest on E!’s Live from the Red Carpet, revealing she did not wear the same sky-high heels during her practice run.
“I couldn’t imagine having to put these on two days in a row,” she quipped. “Not that they are not gorgeous — They’re definitely not Converse.”

She also opened up about her new action-packed film Ghost in the Shell, revealing shes “a glutton for punishment,” when it comes to “painful” high-impact, action movies.
“Ghosts in the Shell is a film that asks a lot of existential questions — it was something I couldn’t pass up,” she shared. ” I was too curious.”
Johansson has had a busy 2017 stepping out at events like amFAR’s annual New York gala and participating in the Women’s March on Washington D.C. The star split from husband Romain Dauriac after two years of marriage earlier this year, but they’ve remained friends.
One of her most memorable red carpet moments with him was the 2015 Oscars where she wore a green Atelier Versace number with a statement necklace.
