They are two respected Hollywood actresses involved in some of the biggest film franchises on the planet.
And on Friday, Scarlett Johansson and Laura Dern both attended a screening of their new, smaller film, family drama Marriage Story, as part of the 57th New York Film Festival at New York City‘s Lincoln Center.
Scarlett, 34, whose role of the Black Widow in the Marvel Cinematic Universe has made her a household name, wore a gorgeous strapless black sweetheart gown, which featured shimmering rhinestone appliques on the corset, a high-waisted belt, and dangling black fringe along the skirt’s hem.

ScarJo sported sandals that were sheer Mary Janes, Nikos Koulis ‘Oui’ earrings and she wore her hair up in an elegant top knot.
Dern, who rose to major prominence in the early ’90s thanks to her role in Jurassic Park, also sparkled on Friday, in a deep green metallic tuxedo dress that featured an open front and a racy, lacy lingerie top underneath.
The Big Little Lies actress, 52, tied her dress together with a satin black bow at the waist, and donned black boots for the appearance, while accessorizing with Selim Mouzannar earrings.

Marriage Story, which will be released in theaters and stream on Netflix later this year, is the story of ‘a marriage breaking up and a family staying together,’ according to the movie’s page on Netflix’s site.
While Johansson plays one half of the divorcing couple and Dern presumably plays her lawyer, the role of the husband is played by another high profile actor from a huge tentpole franchise: Star Wars’ Adam Driver.
