Scarlett Johansson, Before and After

" \n \"I definitely believe in plastic surgery. I don't want to be an old hag. There's no fun in that.\" \n \n\n \n That's how Scarlett Johansson felt way back in 2004, according to an interview with B Magazine . \n \n\n \n But only a few years later, she denied EVER having plastic surgery herself. After a 2007 Us Weekly article suggested otherwise, she issued a statement calling the claims \"outrageous and defamatory,\" and even threatened legal action (not that a lawsuit ever materialized). \n \n\n \n Still, the plastic surgery rumours have followed the Lost in Translation star, now 35, to this day. \n \n\n \n With her green eyes, blonde hair and bee-stung lips, I've always considered Scarlett to be one of the most unique beauties in Hollywood. Is it really possible to win the genetic lottery and end up with her particular combination of features?! \n \n\n \n Let's take a look at her transformation over the years to see if we can find out! \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 1997 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n We'll start with this pic from what was likely Scarlett's first red carpet, taken when she was only 12 years old. She'd already been acting for three years at this point! Not only can we see her natural nose, but also her natural hair colour (which was not blonde, but light brown). \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 1998 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n At age 13, not much had changed, except that she'd ditched the baby barrettes and slicked on a brick-toned lipstick (both of which were all the rage in the '90s!). \n \n\n \n She was still wearing that lip shade later the same year, but with her brown hair now in a wavy, layered style. With her smile, it's clear that this was prior to having any cosmetic dentistry work done. \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 2000 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n When Us Weekly accused Scarlett of a \"nip and tuck,\" they dug up photos from 2000, just like this one. It sure doesn't look like the same nose she has today! Her lips, on the other hand, do match. As you can see in all these early shots, they were ALWAYS super plump\u2014even when she was a teenager! \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 2001 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n By the time she debuted in Ghost World at 17, her appearance had really changed. Yes, she's wearing a lot more makeup (including the dark \"ring around the lips\" lip liner that was an actual thing back then). But it might not be JUST makeup. I'm wondering if her nose isn't a little bit less prominent here! \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 2002 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n This shot confirms my suspicions. Suddenly, she had dyed red hair, more sophisticated makeup\u2014and a nose ring to accentuate what looks like a newly reshaped nose. My guess is she underwent a rhinoplasty around 2001 or 2002, before Lost in Translation made her a box office sensation. Her features definitely seem more in balance compared to when she was younger. \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 2003 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Oh yes, once upon a time, Scarlett had a mullet. (\"There was a total party going on in the back of my head!\" she recalled. \"I had a 'mullet pride' shirt that I wore.\") I'm pretty sure this wispy 'do was never hair goals, even back then! \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 2004 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n At age 20, Scarlett took her hair even lighter, to a platinum blonde\u2014a shade that really brings out her star quality. She also ditched the experimental hairstyles, likely securing a better styling team from here on out. Again, her nose has a different shape compared to when she was a tween, but I would argue that this isn't her \"final\" nose, either. \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 2005 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Remember this phase, when Scarlett was all about the old Hollywood glamour? She always did some sort of retro curls with a red lip, barely-there eye makeup and a plunging neckline. By this point, she had upgraded her smile to make it straighter and more even (despite having lipstick on her teeth!). \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 2006 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Again, I'd like to draw your attention to her nose. From this point forward, it appears smaller and more button-like, which makes her eyes and lips stand out even more. (Not that anyone probably noticed at the time... this dress was very low-cut!) \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 2007 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n After wrapping The Nanny Diaries , she switched things up with an extreme bleached blonde, worn straight and pinned off her face. Keep in mind that this was the same year that the nose job allegations started. (And that makes perfect sense, looking at these photos!) \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 2008 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Then, it was back to a more low-key look in 2008, albeit with a slight vintage flair. The red lipstick shows off her naturally full lips and near-perfect smile, and the darker roots make her blonde colour look more natural. \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 2009 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Before securing her role as Black Widow in Iron Man 2 , Scarlett dyed her hair dark auburn, which she attributed to a \"subconscious\" hope that \"they'd give me a call.\" Since her skin tone is neutral, she pulls it off every bit as well as the blonde. \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 2010 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n But it wasn't long before Scarlett returned to her signature light hair, this time with a warm golden hue. She rocked it with frizzy, messy waves\u2014texture was a big deal in the early 2010s!\u2014and lots of black liner. \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 2011 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Who could forget Scarlett's bob? She was way ahead of the current trend with this choppy, piecey 'do (and probably inspired countless women's haircuts over the years). But it looks like her teeth were getting a bit stained\u2014apparently she's been a smoker since she was a teenager! \n \n\n \n Later that year, she changed her hair again to this cherry red shade while she was filming The Avengers . Is there any hair colour this woman doesn't look amazing in? The answer is no! \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 2012 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Within a year, Scarlett dumped the red dye and had grown out her bob enough to pull it up into this braided updo\u2014all the better to show off her perfectly proportioned features. She was 28 here. \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 2013 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Next, she showed off a full mane of golden blonde waves, I'm guessing with the help of a few extensions. Even with all the attention to detail (like purple smoky eyeshadow to match her dress), her teeth still weren't blindingly white... yet! \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 2014 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n With her smooth waves and vampy lip colour, this look is reminiscent of Scarlett's old Hollywood style era from the mid-'00s. She was pregnant here, and it was to be her last hurrah with long hair for a while.... \n \n\n \n Talk about a radical change! Just like that, Scarlett chopped off her long locks. This was taken just two months after she gave birth to her daughter, but it's not your typical \"Mom\" cut. (Actually, she wouldn't rock Mom hair until more recently, in 2018!) \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 2015 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n In 2015, she gave her short hair a punky twist, shaving the sides and then bleaching the top a cool light blonde. Even if you're not a fan, there's no denying that it puts even more focus on her uniquely beautiful features. \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 2016 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n The next year, it seemed like Scarlett was ready to grow out her pixie. Most people have to go through a bit of an awkward stage doing this, and she was no exception! Keep in mind that she was going through a divorce from Romain Dauriac during this time. \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 2017 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n But the following year, she renewed her commitment to short hair by buzzing off the sides again and slicking it all back with copious amounts of hair gel. I can't say I'm into this edgy look, but at least she pulls it off better than Katy Perry! \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 2018 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Finally, she began growing out her hair for real (she was 33 here). At the same time, she decided to dye it a rich, chocolatey brown. Honestly, even the colourful eye makeup can't make up for the fact that it looks like a helmet! \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 2019 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n And just like that, old Scarlett was back! She traded the brown for her go-to blonde (this time, with dark roots), and most likely used extensions to add length and volume. Also notice her teeth. Not only have they been brightened, but they are now completely even and uniform in size. \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n Scarlett in 2020 \n \n\n \n \n \n\n \n That brings us to 2020, and I have to say, she's more gorgeous than ever. I love this buttery baby blonde she's got going on\u2014and she truly seems to glow from within. Is it because her career has never been hotter (with not one but two Oscar noms, for Jojo Rabbit and Marriage Story )? Or is it her upcoming nuptials to Saturday Night Live 's Colin Jost?! \n "
