In a strapless green-and-black Rodarte dress, Scarlett Johansson brought foliage flair to the Ziegfeld Theatre—her look all silhouette, shadow, and star power.
November 18, 2012. The Ziegfeld Theatre in New York City was awash in old-Hollywood nostalgia as the cast of Hitchcock gathered for its premiere. But it was Scarlett Johansson—cast as Janet Leigh—who turned the red carpet into a study in botanical noir.
She wore a strapless Rodarte dress featuring a green foliage print layered over black panels, the kind of pattern that evokes both nature and mystery. The bodice was fitted, the skirt slightly flared, and the silhouette balanced structure with softness. It wasn’t just a dress—it was a mood.
The fabric, likely silk or satin, caught the flashbulbs with a subtle sheen, while the print added depth and dimension. Paired with black peep-toe ankle boots, the look leaned edgy without losing elegance. Accessories were minimal: a single bracelet, a visible tattoo, and confidence as her best styling trick.
Her hair—loose waves cascading over one shoulder—framed her face with vintage ease. Makeup was natural, with a soft smoky eye and nude lip, letting the dress do the talking. The lighting at the premiere amplified the green tones, turning the carpet into a forest of flash and glamour.
Culturally, the look tapped into a rising trend of eco-chic fashion, where nature-inspired motifs meet high design. Rodarte’s use of botanical prints and asymmetry echoed the film’s themes: beauty, tension, and psychological depth.
