Award shows are commonly a breeding ground for elaborate ensembles – but Scarlett Johansson brought it back to basics with an LBD.

The actress arrived at the Film Independent Film Awards in Santa Monica on Saturday wearing the simplest of dresses.

The wide-strapped, knee length dress had just a small overlapping fold in the front as its only embellishment.

When you are the only woman in the world to be voted Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive twice, you don’t need to add much to your outfit either: Scarlett’s only accessories were her light grey shoes, matching clutch purse and plain diamond stud earrings.

The outfit matched the Avengers star’s new Miley Cyrus hairdo, as she swept her remaining blonde tresses to one side to expose the buzz cut underneath.

It isn’t Scarlett’s first visit to the award show – way back in 1996 when she was just 12-years-old, Johansson received her only Film Independent Spirit Award nomination for Best Lead Female for Manny & Lo.

In it she played an 11-year-old who runs away with her 16-year-old friend who then gets pregnant.

Just a day earlier the actress tried on a much louder dress when she attended Tom Ford’s Autumn/Winter 2015 Womenswear Collection Presentation at Milk Studios in LA.

The figure-hugging gold sequinned mini-dress with a boat neck and long sleeves was designed by Ford himself.
