Scarlett Johansson Criticizes Unachievable Hollywood Beauty Standards

Actress Scarlett Johansson, 41, reflected on the extreme beauty standards that dominated Hollywood when she began her career. She said the red‑carpet formula of two decades ago was "unachievable" and left little room for personal style, often forcing actresses into roles defined by the male gaze.

Johansson noted that today actors can express individuality on the red carpet, even using pimple patches or eye masks publicly. She highlighted this shift as part of a broader cultural change and mentioned her own skin‑care line, The Outset, launched in 2022, which grew out of her personal experience with skin issues.
