Scarlett Johansson made an impact at Variety’s Power of Women luncheon in Los Angeles, not just for her fashion choice but also for her strong message on women’s reproductive rights.
The 31-year-old actress stunned onlookers with her radiant summer dress, emphasizing her glowing skin.
However, it was her words on Planned Parenthood and the presidential election that genuinely stood out.
Johansson voiced her concerns about threats to Planned Parenthood during the election season. In an interview with Variety, she said, “It’s pretty terrifying.”
The “Avengers” star questioned why a woman’s right to choose had become a Republican political platform issue, noting that it should be personal.
She shared her own experiences with Planned Parenthood, explaining that as a teenager in New York, she and her friends relied on their services for reproductive health and STD screenings.
Johansson mentioned that representing their initiative was easy due to her positive experiences.
The luncheon also allowed Johanssony to socialize with other influential women.
She was seen chatting with Helen Mirren and posing for photos with Miley Cyrus, Laverne Cox, and Ava DuVernay.
During the event, she reconnected with her “Avengers” co-star Robert Downey Jr., bringing a touch of superhero flair to the gathering.
Johansson’s comments also included a nod to Hillary Clinton, who she believes is the right candidate for the current political climate due to her integrity.
