Scarlett Johansson made a showstopping appearance at the BFI London Film Festival on Saturday, October 10, turning heads in a striking red gown that revealed her elaborate back tattoos.
The 41-year-old actress looked sensational as she joined her Paper Tiger co-star Adam Driver on the red carpet at London's Royal Festival Hall, where the pair posed for photographs ahead of the screening.
Scarlett opted for a vibrant scarlet floor-length gown featuring delicate shoulder straps, a softly draped neckline and a figure-skimming silhouette that flowed into an elegant skirt.

However, it was the back of Scarlett's dress that really caught the eye, revealing her extensive collection of tattoos, including an intricate arrangement of roses and a delicate lamb.
The black-and-grey floral design stretches across her upper back, with several large roses connected by twisting stems and leaves, while a smaller lamb sits beneath the flowers.

The actress first attracted widespread attention for the large floral tattoo in 2018, when she revealed it at the Met Gala.
The artwork was created by celebrity tattoo artist Josh Lord, who has also worked with several of her Avengers co-stars.
