Scarlett Johansson stunned in a chic black mini dress with silver floral details as she attended the Newport Beach Film Festival, where she received the 2025 Legend & Groundbreaker Award. The 40-year-old actress proudly posed with her accolade at the Balboa Bay Resort, fresh off her directorial debut “Eleanor the Great,” which earned praise and a standing ovation at Cannes earlier this year. Styled with block heels and loose waves, Scarlett’s look was simple yet elegant, perfectly matching the milestone moment in her career.

The actor and Eleanor the Great director was honored at the Newport Beach Film Festival Honors

ilm festival season isn’t over just yet. After making glamorous stops in Cannes and Toronto this year, Scarlett Johansson landed in California for the Newport Beach Film Festival Honors.

The event took place at The Balboa Bay Resort yesterday, and Johansson took home the Legend & Groundbreaker Award following her directorial debut with Eleanor the Great.

For her big moment, ScarJo slipped on a little black dress from Prada—no surprise, as the actor is an ambassador for the Italian fashion house. The black mini was structured and sleeveless, with a built-in belt that sat high on the waist and was adorned with a bow. Three flower-shaped crystal buttons held the LBD together, infusing the look with some romance.

The Black Widow star wore the dress with another Prada staple: glossy slingback heels with elongated square toes. An inspiring stack of little gold hoop earrings, and a diamond tennis bracelet that paired perfectly with her black minidress’ buttons, were her only visible accessories; though later in the day, she popped on a pair of black cat-eye shades, also from Prada.
