Under the Dictionary definition of "sultry" you are sure to find the name "Scarlett Johansson."

And with a name (and lips) like Scarlett, it really should come as no surprise.

It is as if the actress is from another era. Her style consistently echos a retro feel a la the 1940s.

For some, it is hard to get this look just right without appearing too campy or theatrical.

But Johansson does it with a meticulousness like no other.

"If I'm doing a red carpet, I'll usually look to the golden age of Hollywood a little bit, whether that's Rita Hayworth or Lauren Bacall or later, like Brigitte Bardot. I like to kind of give a nod to that era; I feel like the red carpet deserves it," she said in an interview with Styleist.

Johansson often opts for tea length dresses, lace, high-neck cuts, and autumn-esque colors.

Her style has not always been prim and proper, though. Sometimes Johansson likes to throw in a rebellious curve ball.

She wears a nose-ring when she is not working, has a large unicorn tattooed on her forearm, and has dyed her hair a rainbow of colors. She even tried a mullet (gasp!).

She is the face of Dolce & Gabanna beauty and walked the runway in a nude lace dress and gold sparkling heels at the Italian label's Spring 2012 show at Milan Fashion Week.

With pillow-lips, Johansson is an advocate of lipstick. The redder, the better.

The seductive beauty is currently in the midst of an exasperating phone-hacking scandal involving the leaked nude photos of her the perpetrator got off her cell phone. The man who hacked her personal device, as well as the devices of other celebrities including Mila Kunis, has been arrested.

But, of course, even a scandal like that could not tarnish this pin-up's name.

Scarlett Johansson poses for photographers on the catwalk before the Dolce & Gabbana Spring/Summer 2012 women's collection during Milan Fashion Week. The now-redheaded actress looks like a 1940s pin-up.

Scarlett Johansson debuts her fiery redheaded locks at the 5th Annual Spike TV's Guy Choice Awards. Her simple black and white ensemble makes her new color pop. She dyed her hair (once again) for her role in "The Avengers."

The sultry stunner wears a stunning plumb Dolce & Gabanna gown. She is there to present at the 83rd annual Academy Awards in Hollywood, California.

Johansson certainly has a whimsical side, which she shows off in this cascading sparkling dress with plunging V-neck. In 2008, she showed her whimsical side through song. She released her first album entitled "Anywhere I Lay My Head." Some critics described it as "surprisingly alluring."

The blonde beauty sports an asymmetrical, blunt bob at a photocall before a ceremony to award designer Jean Paul Gautier with an honorary prize, in Barcelona. It is a daring cut for many. But this cut proves to accent her fabulous features.

Looking fun and fresh, Scarlett Johansson arrives at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards in Los Angeles. The emerald green is a surprising choice for a lace dress but adds a retro feel - something that Johansson is known for.

This dress displays a much more avant garde side of the "Iron Man" actress. Typically, Johansson opts for more subtle pieces than this. Yet she certainly knows how to rock this bold frock. Here she poses at the premiere of the movie "Iron Man 2" at El Capitan theatre in Hollywood.

Once again, channeling a retro vibe, Johansson poses for photographers at Selfridges department store in Oxford Street in central London wearing matte red lipstick and a floral pussy bow top.

Ever so demure, Johansson attends a photocall in Madrid wearing a classic combination of navy and black.

At the premiere of Woody Allen's "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" in Los Angeles, Johanssen wows the crowd with a scarlet gown and elaborate necklace. There is a decidedly Spain-influenced vibe to this choice.

This dress looks straight off the pages of a fairytale. With the princess skirt and corset top, Johansson could be Cinderella. Fashion designers Gabbana and Dolce pose with the actress as they arrive for the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Gala in New York.
