Scarlett Johansson Revs Up Dolce & Gabbana's Evocative Beauty Collection

Posing in an impossibly glam ad for Dolce & Gabbana's Evocative Beauty makeup collection, Scarlett Johansson boasts one of fall's biggest color trends -- the dark-yet-glossy, raven lip.

The image, that was leaked prematurely (or maybe deliberately, who knows these days), features the 25 year-old actress at her blonde best, clad in what look like leather lace up shorts and a bustier (they could also be black satin), wearing the deep purple lips and nails that stood out at the D&G runway earlier this year.

"It's really all about the lips-very shiny and dark, super sexy. I downplayed the eyes, which are still gorgeous, but it's a subtle kind of power, very implicit. I was going for a look that is very much about 'now' but is also ultra Dolce & Gabbana, capturing their ultimate signature look for beauty," makeup guru Pat McGrath said of the campaign. "[It's] very suggestive, mysterious- yet still very bold. To me, that's what the fall is all about."

And how. The inspiration for the campaign, according to the official website, is "one of a the most intimate and personal of feminine moments: a woman applying makeup in the privacy of her own bedroom or sanctuary."

This is her third campaign with the brand and a big departure. Last year, Mrs. Ryan Reynolds was featured in the much more subdued, yet still amazingly provocative series of ads, wherein she channeled Marilyn Monroe in a decidedly sexy homage to fifties glamour.

Of course, even when she's not modeling, the actress is known for her ever-changing looks. From blonde, to red, to brunette, and gamine to voluptuous vamp, we never know what look to expect next. (Check out some of her many looks here.)

WIth one bona fide hit under her belt already this year in the form of a little movie called "Iron Man 2" (in which she managed to make even Gwyneth Paltrow look like a schlub by comparison), the chameleon of an actress won't be seen on the big screen till 2012 when she has three movies set to bow. What will she be doing in the meantime? Maybe decorating her and Ryan's new $3 million L.A. home. Or...well, we're sure they'll think of something.
