Scarlett Johansson glammed up to attend the glitzy New York premiere of The Phoenician Scheme, which was held at Jazz at Lincoln Center in Manhattan’s Columbus Circle on Wednesday.

The 40-year-old former child star slipped her phenomenal 5ft3in figure in a coral-colored strapless Saint Laurent gown as well as a lariat necklace and rings from Taffin Jewelry selected by stylist Kate Young.

Hairstylist David von Cannon finally let Scarlett’s highlighted wavy mane down rather than scraping it into a severe bun like usual.

Make-up artist Jian Qiao Lu brought out Johansson’s bushy brows and natural bee-stung pout with minimal cosmetics.

The two-time Oscar nominee has a small role as a deadpan ‘titan’ character only known as ‘Cousin’ in the espionage black comedy, which hits limited US theaters this Friday before a wider US/UK release on June 6.

Scarlett dutifully posed with The Phoenician Scheme filmmaker Wes Anderson and castmates Scott Shepherd, F. Murray Abraham, Hope Davis, Bryan Cranston, Mia Threapleton, Benicio del Toro, Steve Park, Michael Cera, and Tom Hanks.

‘It was so great because I got to dip in for, you know, like a short period of time, reunite with some friends, meet new friends and castmates, and get, like, into Wes’ world,’ Johansson told Extra on Wednesday.

‘You know, these guys had been working so hard — Michael, Benicio, Mia — for, like, months, and then I just got to come in and have fun and then I was like, “Alright, see you guys later!”‘

The Phoenician Scheme currently has a ‘certified fresh’ 76% critic approval rating (out of 90 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Outset co-founder seemed especially chummy with Hanks, dressed in an all-black suit, who portrays Leland in the absurdist father-daughter flick.

Meanwhile, Cranston’s silly red carpet antics certainly amused Scarlett as she posed with Abraham and Threapleton.

Johansson is still riding the high of her six-minute standing ovation for her feature directorial debut Eleanor the Great during the May 20th Cannes Film Festival premiere.

The indie drama stars 95-year-old June Squibb as 90-year-old Eleanor Morgenstein, who moves back to New York City from Florida following the death of her best friend of 70 years.

Wayfarer Studios co-founders Steve Sarowitz and Justin Baldoni are credited as executive producers on Eleanor the Great, and they ‘were super supportive throughout the process.’

Wayfarer Studios CEO Jamey Heath – who’s also an executive producer – was at Cannes supporting Scarlett alongside the rest of his crew.

Johansson told Vanity Fair this month that it was ‘such weird timing’ for her working with Baldoni and Heath as they’re both entangled in a legal war with her first ex-husband Ryan Reynolds and his wife Blake Lively.

The Project Artemis actress famously divorced Reynolds in 2011 – the year after he co-starred with Lively in Green Lantern.

Scarlett will also portray Royal Navy captain Katherine in Kristin Scott Thomas’ feature directorial debut My Mother’s Wedding, which hits US theaters August 8.

Johansson will also produce and star as heroin-addicted FBI informant Carol Blevins in Andrea Arnold’s upcoming true-crime thriller Featherwood.

On the personal front, the native New Yorker has two children – daughter Rose, 10; and son Cosmo, 3 – from her marriages to second ex-husband Romain Dauriac and third husband Colin Jost.

The man of the hour – Benicio Del Toro – suited up in grey and posed with the poster emblazoned with his shirtless character, Korda Land CEO Zsa-zsa Korda.

The 58-year-old Oscar winner – who shares 13-year-old daughter Delilah with babymama Kimberly Stewart – looked happier than he has in years as he soaked up the limelight.
