Scarlett Johansson: It’s a pleasure to wear Marchesa
The actress stood by her decision to wear a dress from the company co-founded by Harvey Weinstein’s estranged wife.
Scarlett Johansson has said she wanted to support a brand created by women when she chose to wear the fashion brand owned by the estranged wife of Harvey Weinstein to the Met Gala.
The star donned a gown by Marchesa, the fashion company co-founded by Georgina Chapman.
Johansson chose an off-the-shoulder burgundy gown with applique flowers from the company for the star-studded annual fashion event, which she attended with boyfriend Colin Jost.
Marchesa told the magazine: “We are truly honoured that Scarlett chose to wear Marchesa for the Met Gala.
“She is an amazingly talented actor who has incredible style and presence. It was wonderful to work so closely with her in creating this custom look.”
Weinstein and Chapman married in 2007 and have two children, daughter India Pearl and son Dashiell.
Marchesa cancelled its Fashion Week show in New York in February.
