Scarlett Johansson made an extremely rare red carpet appearance with husband Colin Jost at the Asteroid City premiere during Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday.

The American actress, 38, looked smitten as she cosied up to her partner Colin, 40, while posing for photos on the star studded red carpet.

Scarlett looked simply stunning for her latest film premiere in a gorgeous pink silk figure hugging gown which boasted white glittering straps.

She showcased her incredible figure in the dress and turned up the heat by accessorising with a dazzling pair of earrings.

The Black Widow star applied a flawless palette of makeup for the evening including a bold swipe of red lipstick as she held hands with her SNL beau.

Scarlett, who portrays character Midge Campbell in the film, styled her long blonde tresses in luxurious waves as they cascaded down her back from a centre parting.

She couldn’t contain her smile as she cosied up to her Saturday Night Live star beau Colin who looked very dashing in a black tuxedo.

The movie which is directed by Wes Anderson follows the itinerary of a Junior Stargazer convention which is spectacularly disrupted by world-changing events.

Joining Scarlett in Asteroid City is co-stars Jason Schwartzman, Margot Robbie and Tom Hanks.

Scarlett and her husband Colin have been married for three years and share son Cosmo Jost together.

Scarlett also shares eight-year-old daughter Rose Dorothy with French journalist ex-husband Romain Dauriac.

It comes after the actress admitted earlier this year that she almost gave up acting after losing out on a dream role that went to Sandra Bullock.

In a candid new interview, Scarelett opened up on battling feelings of inadequacy after being rejected for major roles she’d auditioned for.

And after initially losing out on the part of Black Widow, which was originally offered to Emily Blunt, Scarlett told how she went on to feel ‘hopeless’ after then being overlooked for a role in Gravity.

That part went to Sandra Bullock, 58, who starred in the 2013 sci-fi film alongside George Clooney, 62, and saw her go on to be nominated for Best Actress at the Academy Awards, Golden Globes and BAFTAs.

Scarlett said that particular rejection ‘was sort of the straw that broke the camel’s back’ as it made her reconsider her future in the film industry.

She told Variety: ‘I got turned down for two roles – the first was Iron Man 2 and then the other one was Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity, I had wanted that role so much. It was sort of the straw that broke the camel’s back. I felt really frustrated and hopeless. Like, “Am I doing the right job?”‘

Meanwhile, the actress went on to question whether roles that she was actually offered were ‘fulfilling’ after her success in breakout film Lost In Translation groomed her to be a bombshell, with Scarlett stating it was ‘hard’ to break out of that ‘pigeonhole’ and change the narrative.

Questioning whether she’d make any headway with her career, she added: ‘The work I was being offered felt deeply unfulfilling. I think I was offered every Marilyn Monroe script ever. I was like, “Is this the end of the road creatively?”‘

Scarlett’s fortunes soon turned however when Emily Blunt was forced to pull out of Iron Man 2 due to contractual obligations with Fox and she was re-offered the role in the Marvel movie.

Though her role in the film wasn’t huge, it did go on to pave the way for other opportunities for the star.

She said: ‘That movie wasn’t going to move the needle forward in terms of how my character was written, but there was potential for what it could be — a potential for growth in subsequent films’.
