'Nanny' Scarlett goes brunette for new flick

Scarlett Johansson and co-star Alicia Keys were sporting striking new looks in New York this week. The platinum-haired actress had swopped her bombshell locks for a decidedly more demure brown 'do, while her trademark sexy dresses had been replaced by casual shorts. Alicia was similarly transformed, with a mop of unruly curls and floral outfit that were a world away from her more familiar sleek on-stage persona.

The new styles are only temporary, however, as the pair were hard at work on the set of their latest film, The Nanny Diaries, which is due out next year. The satirical comedy features Scarlett as a working class college student who goes to work as a nanny with a rich Manhattan family.

The Lost In Translation beauty has just returned from a glamorous holiday in Jamaica with boyfriend Josh Hartnett. And she's certainly got a packed schedule. As well as being one of Tinsletown's most in-demand actresses she also recently signed a ₤3 million deal to be the face of L'Oreal.

In the new flick, R&B sensation Alicia flexes her acting muscles as Scarlett's best friend, alongside co-stars Laura Linney and Paul Giamatti. Fresh from shooting Smokin' Aces with Ben Affleck and Don Cheadle, the 25-year-old singer-turned-thesp looks set to consolidate her fledgling on-screen career with the two high-profile flicks.
