I’ve been feeling an itch to shake up my appearance—namely, my hair. Today, I was spared from polling the group chat on whether or not I should go blonde when Scarlett Johansson arrived on the scene with an ultra-sexy side part.

The actor and director, who is promoting her directorial debut, Eleanor the Great, kept her outfit crisp and businesslike with a brown leather blazer and brown trousers that flared at the knee, which she paired with a black button-up blouse, pointy-toe pumps, and an intrecciato leather clutch. But it was Johansson’s hair that gave the office-ready outfit a little pizzazz.

Johansson wore her honey blonde hair, styled by Renato Campora, à la Jessica Rabbit, with a voluminous side part covering one eye. Dare I say, I’m intrigued. As a kid who grew up at the tail end of the Indie Sleaze era—when a Skrillex-level side part was the look du jour amongst people in my middle school class, I’ve harbored some suspicions ever since. But with her dynamic blowout, Scarlett Johansson is certainly making a strong case.
