Scarlett Johansson showed off her huge back tattoo as she wowed at the BFI London Film Festival premiere for her new thriller Paper Tiger on Saturday.

The actress, 41, looked glamorous as she left her eye-catching inkings on display in a plunging red dress.

The elegant custom number, from Prada, featured a silk georgette bias-cut with ruched bra detail.

She teamed it with metallic heels and accessorised with a vintage gold collar necklace with a large clear center stone.

Scarlett was joined by her co-star Adam Driver, who cut a smart figure in an all-black suit.

Paper Tiger, which also stars Miles Teller, revolves around two brothers who try to make fast money. Instead they get ‘entangled in a scheme that turns out to be too good to be true’.

The film’s synopsis reads: ‘As they try to navigate their way through an ever-more dangerous world of corruption and violence, they find themselves and their family brutally terrorized by the Russian ‘Mafiya.’

‘Their bond begins to fray, and betrayal — once utterly unthinkable — now becomes all too possible.’

The film, which will be released on November 13, received a ten-minute standing ovation at its Cannes premiere.  

Earlier this year, Scarlett passed her fellow Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) co-stars Samuel L Jackson and Robert Downey Jr as the highest-grossing lead actor ever.

The actress accomplished this impressive feat over the 4th of July holiday weekend, with the monstrous debut of her new film Jurassic World Rebirth.

The seventh installment of the Jurassic Park franchise took in a whopping $147.3million at the domestic box office since opening last Wednesday, and $318.3million worldwide.

Those figures bring Scarlett’s worldwide total for leading roles up to $14.61billion, just surpassing Jackson ($14.60billion) and Downey Jr ($14.3billion), according to The Numbers.

What’s perhaps even more impressive than that is Scarlett managed to surpass her MCU peers in just 36 movies with leading roles.

This is compared to Samuel’s 71 films and Robert’s 45 films, coming after recent comments about how she fought her way out of being cast in movies as a ‘sex symbol’.

The star-studded cast also includes Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, Audrina Miranda, Philippine Velge, Bechir Sylvain, Ed Skrein and many more.

The newest and latest franchise film was directed by Gareth Edwards.

This summer, Scarlett revealed the secrets to her health and beauty routine to maintain her radiant complexion and natural beauty.

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

She shared key details from her night routine after taking off her makeup as well as the magnesium supplement and vegan collagen she takes before bed.

‘I take magnesium at night. It helps me sleep. I feel like it’s good for recovery,’ she said.

The Oscar-nominated actress, who previously opened up about being ‘self-conscious’ due to harsh criticism about her appearance early in her career, added: ‘It’s good for your entire central nervous system.’

She also gushed about the benefits she has noticed when she’s sleeping after taking magnesium.

‘I know that everybody is taking magnesium now. It’s so helpful,’ she said.

‘It really makes a huge difference, especially in my digestion and my recovery, it’s awesome,’ the Black Widow star added.

She also said she takes vegan collagen after one of her close friends recommended it to her to make her hair ‘grow thicker, faster and shinier’ in spite of her dermatologist denying the claims.

‘I don’t know. My dermatologist was like, ‘It’s everything you put on your skin, that’s what counts. Anything you’re taking internally, none of that is working.’

‘I’m like, ‘I don’t believe you. I’m going to try this out.”

She also opened up about her daily skincare routine in the evening.

She credited ‘clean skin care standards’ and ‘healing, hydrating benefits’ of the beauty products from her skincare brand The Outset, which she founded and launched in 2022.

‘My night routine is pretty simple,’ she said as she revealed she washes her face with the brand’s micellar cleanser.

‘I don’t wear a full face of makeup every day, [just] foundation and concealer, so I don’t have a full face to wash off.’

She said she also uses hydration-boosting products from her brand to complete her face routine, finishing off with a serum, a moisturizer and ‘sometimes I’ll put a couple of drops of boosting oil in there’.

As for her morning routine, she said she uses the same cleanser, serum and moisturizer as she does at night.

She adds an eye cream from her brand before doing light makeup with concealer, mascara, ‘blush and a little eyeshadow, and that’s it’.

‘Then I’ve got to run out the door. I’ve got two kids,’ added Johansson, who shares daughter Rose, 12, with her ex-husband Romain Dauriac as well as son Cosmo, 5, with her husband, Colin Jost.

‘They’ve got to go to school,’ she added. ‘I don’t always have time to put makeup on. Sometimes that’s a step later in the day.’
