What has Louis Vuitton done to Scarlett Johansson?
Yesterday's New York Times ad finally got me to look into whether or not that actually is Ms. Johansson in the ads every Sunday in the New York Times Styles section.
The reason I wasn't convinced is that while the model (above) looks a lot like the actress, at the same time she somehow doesn't — so I figured maybe they'd found a low-priced look-alike, though why Louis Vuitton would bother pinching sous is beyond me.
Anyway, it turns out that she is Marc Jacobs' muse and indeed the star of the Vuitton ads.
Still, the face in the ads really is different from what I see on the silver screen.

She probable looks different to you because they do a lot of airbrushing on adverts.

I dunno. Could you pick her out of a lineup with a dozen or so other standard issue starlettes? They're all pretty much blank canvases. Change the makeup, hairstyle and lighting and they're whatever you want them to be.
