Scarlett was dressed to impress as she gave a glimpse of her back tattoo in her flirty gown at red carpet event with Colin, who looked smart in a tuxedo.

The Avengers star gave a flash of the rose branch tattoo as she posed in her dress with her back to cameras.

The 33-year-old was clearly delighted with the inking, having showed it off in a similarly low-cut gown at the Emmys back in September.

The pair, who have been dating for over a year, could not stop smiling at each other as they hit the red carpet side-by-side.

The couple were first linked in May 2017 when they were seen kissing at an SNL after-party.

They did not confirm their relationship until December that year.

That is when they made their first red carpet appearance together at the American Museum of Natural History Gala in NYC.
