Scarlett Johansson took her fiancé Colin Jost as her plus one to this evening's Golden Globes, and the couple brought their finest red carpet fashion out for the occasion. Johansson wore a Vera Wang Collection red dress, while Jost kept it simple in a black suit. The two were generally smitten in front of photographers, smiling and showing a lot fo affection. What is an award show if not a glorified, super public prom-like date night for the famous?
Johansson opened up about Jost while promoting her film Marriage Story, for which she has a nomination this evening at the Globes. Johansson is up for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama. She called Jost the love of her life in her SNL opening monologue last month: "I just want to say that this place means so much to me," Johansson told the crowd. "I have so many friends here and I met the love of my life here.
She told ELLE in its November issue that on the whole, “I’m certainly, obviously, very happy and fulfilled in my personal life, but I’m also a sum of many parts, and able to access different parts of my story and how I got here. It’s all valuable.”
And she talked to Vanity Fair about how she feels about marriage given her work on the film and her own experience with marriage. Her first two ended in divorce; she was married to Ryan Reynolds and Romain Dauriac, with whom she has a five-year-old daughter, before dating and ultimately getting engaged to Jost.
"The idea of building a family, making a family, and having that work, I like that idea," she said. "I think that would be wonderful. I’ve always wanted that. I wanted that also in my marriage to my daughter’s father as well. It just wasn’t the right person. But I like that idea…I mean, the first time I got married I was 23 years old. I didn’t really have an understanding of marriage. Maybe I kind of romanticized it, I think, in a way. It’s a different part of my life now. I feel like I’m in a place in my life, I feel I’m able to make more active choices. I’m more present, I think, than I’ve been before."
