Never mind her enviable bone structure, pouty lips and voluminous hair–or the weeks of hardcore training she endured to get in shape for her role as a catsuit-clad spy in Iron Man 2Scarlett Johansson chalks up her famous good looks to her glam squad. “Working with these incredible hair and makeup teams, you go in looking like a schmoe, and you come out like a movie star,” V magazine‘s June cover star says. The 25-year-old actress, who despite a busy schedule lighting up the Broadway stage and the big screen has found time to appear in campaigns for Dolce & Gabbana Beauty, Louis Vuitton, L’Oreal and Mango, says, ”You go through the works, and then you’re like this perfectly prepared sausage…no one ever sees what goes in.” Sorry, Scarlett, while we don’t doubt the talent of your stylists and makeup artists, we’d hardly compare you to a link of kielbasa! For the full interview, pick up the June issue of V magazine, on newsstands May 11. –Marissa Patlingrao Cooley

@Jennifer: Her head is “shaped like a piece of pizza?” I’m not even sure what that means, unless you are noticing that it is wider at the cheekbones and narrows at the chin….which is, for the record, called a “heart-shaped face.” It is considered to be one of the most beautiful and interesting shapes for the face.

Scarlet is absolutely gorgeous. Loved her in Match Point.

Well, she is right. If we see “The other Boleyn girl” she is not pretty compared to Natalie Portman.

this is weird, some folks say is she pretty, some say she isnt, and both think they are right.

its almost as though beauty were subjective.

Jennifer sounds like a hater to me. LOL! Scarlett is a very pretty girl.

What makes Scarlett beautiful is how she carries herself. If you’ve saw her past films, it’s her talent that makes her such a great actress. I also love that she isn’t always in the spotlight posing for the cameras with her hands on her hips like many of these other young, limited talent actresses! She seems to just live her life and appears very normal. For such a young woman she is such a mature and versatile actress and to me, that is what really makes her a beauty, her modesty and normalcy about her.

Beauty is different for everyone, its kinda like an opinion. Scarlett is beautiful to some and not to others, its all about our personal preference. I think she is beautiful because she has a beautiful character, not just because she has a beautiful look. She is herself and likes to be just herself which is beautiful.

She is absolutely beautiful, no matter how her hair or makeup is done! What a gorgeous pair she & her hubby must make waking up in the morning…oh my!
