MANILA, Philippines - Scarlett Johanssen, her hair disheveled and her body clad in animal print and sprawled on a red leather couch, looks like she’s posing for the Sexiest Women feature of GQ. The provocative images, however, give a peek into Johanssen’s brand-new role — endorser of Spanish brand Mango.
The versatile actress, who has dropped pounds for her upcoming role as the Lycra-clad Black Widow in the Iron Man sequel, shows off her spanking new bod in photos shot by renowned photographer Mario Sorrenti. Mango’s choice of the beautiful actress is unquestionable. The brand deems her as the embodiment of the “urban, enterprising, daring woman.” She is sensual but elegant, creative and cognizant of fashion.
For her new starring role, Johanssen gives credence to Mango’s new autumn/winter collection: a mix of ‘80s references and ‘90s silhouettes. There are torn tights and sleek pencil skirts, wide-shouldered suit jackets and animal prints. The collection also has leather, studs, rhinestones, sequins and everything else that can add sparkle to a palette dominated by black, gray and cobalt blue. It’s a collection that is playful, fun, sexy and ultimately desirable. Exactly what Scarlett Johanssen stands for.
Mango is located at Greenbelt 5, Shangri-la Plaza, Glorietta 2, SM Malls, and TriNoma Mall. — AGK
