On the heels of a PDA-filled screening for her directorial debut Eleanor The Great, Scarlett Johansson hit the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival wearing her second stunning look in a row. For the premiere of Vie Privée, the Black Widow actress stepped out in a baby blue Prada gown elegantly draped over her frame. The star of the show—or rather, the outfit—was her diamond jewelry, however.

In a truly dazzling display, Johansson was absolutely covered in over 62 carats worth of De Beers diamonds, including a pair of Essence of Nature Drop earrings, an Essence of Nature Foundation ring, and three Classic Eternity Line bracelets. The ring was especially notable, given it featured a rare 2.15 carat Fancy Yellow Green central diamond.

The actress's strapless gown also featured two identical trains. In keeping with the festival's new dress code, they were modest and did not appear to "hinder the proper flow of traffic," as dictated by the organizers in their updated charter. In typical Old Hollywood fashion, the actress finished off her look with a statement red lip.

Johansson's husband, writer and comedian Colin Jost, also joined her on the red carpet. The couple were all smiles as they posed for photos on the Croisette.

Eleanor The Great is a forthcoming drama starring June Squibb as Eleanor Morgenstein. It follows a 94-year-old retiree (Morgenstein) who moves to New York City and subsequently befriends a 19-year-old college student. The film received a five minute-long standing ovation following today's screening, per Variety.

“When you make a film that’s an independent film like this, no one’s doing it for the money—surprise, surprise," Johansson told the crowd. "Everyone came together because they loved the story and the script. It’s a film about friendship, grief, and forgiveness—topics we can all use more of today.”
