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 2–Scarlett 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

Two More Reasons To Go See Iron Man 2: Hardbodied Scarlett and Gwyneth

Dynamic special effects, juicy new villains and Robert Downey Jr.’s zippy one-liners aren’t the only compelling reasons to go see Iron Man 2. Also worth checking out are the toned physiques of leading ladies Scarlett Johansson and Gwyneth Paltrow, both of whom endured grueling workouts to get hardbodied for the movie. As part of her role as the Black Widow, Johansson famously dons a skintight Lycra catsuit in the film. “I was very proud to be in the catsuit,” the 24-year-old actress told PEOPLE at the Iron Man 2 premiere at Hollywood’s El Capitan Theater yesterday. “I worked really hard to get there, and by the time I put it on, it was like ‘If I don’t look good in this catsuit now, I should just never wear it. You’ve just got to own it.” And what did the star do to prepare for the unforgivingly snug costume? “Lots of strength training, lots of fight training, lots of stunt training–and lots of pain!” laughed Johansson, who wore a sculptural one-shoulder Armani Prive cocktail dress on the red carpet. For her part, Paltrow, who showed off the results of her tough training in a Giorgio Armani shorts suit at the premiere, logged major hours with her trainer Tracy Anderson before resuming her role as Pepper Potts. “[Tracy] killed me! She kicked my butt!” laughed Gwyneth. And even though Gwyneth doesn’t play a superhero–yet–she still had a good reason to get in shape. “Originally there was a scene–it was like a fantasy scene–and I was in lingerie, and I was so panicked. I thought ‘Okay, I really have to get in good shape.’ And then it ended up getting cut out and I was already in such good shape that I had to keep going,” says Paltrow. Now, with her new rock-hard body, Paltrow sees a superhero role in her future. “I could be an Iron Woman. Iron Woman would work.” Tell us: Are you excited to see Irom Man 2? – reporting by Scott Huver

She may have recently sweated it out in order to get into the tight cat suit for Iron Man 2, yet Scarlett Johansson still can turn up the glamour factor. This afternoon, the face of Dolce & Gabbana The Makeup popped into London department store Selfridges, on Oxford Street, to launch the line and share a few of her favorite beauty tips. Greeted by hundreds of fans who had packed the department’s store Beauty Hall, Johannson made a spectacular entrance, Hollywood style to the strains of Shirley Bassey’s classic “Diamonds are Forever.” “Thank you all so much for coming here today, I’m overwhelmed by the amount of personal cameras!”, said a prim and proper Johansson, who looked every inch the modern incarnation of Veronica Lake. Dressed head to toe in Dolce & Gabbana’s spring summer collection, her strawberry blonde tresses were styled in waves and her trademark lips were painted with the label’s ‘Iconic’ red lipstick. And the star finds her look to be perfectly in sync with the makeup line. “I like the line’s modern classic makeup because I like a modern classic look. When I go out, I always pay homage to the golden age of Hollywood. Dolce & Gabbana make up is a modern classic and the packaging is beautiful too.” How did she achieve that Old Hollywood style make up? By using Dolce & Gabbana’s Perfect Finish Powder Foundation in Natural, the Luminous Cheek Colour in Peach, the Smooth Eye Colour Quad in Nude and the Classic Cream Lipstick in Iconic. And keep checking in with us, as Johansson also revealed that she was in town to shoot an upcoming campaign for the collection.
