Hours after confirming her engagement to Ryan Reynolds, Scarlett Johansson flashed a diamond ring at the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute Gala.
The 23-year-old actress unveiled the sparkler while walking the red carpet — sans Reynolds — at Monday night’s celeb-studded event, which also drew Julia Roberts, George Clooney, Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes.
Johansson, flanked by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, posed for the cameras in a cream gown by the designers that showed off her curves. Her publicist, Marcel Pariseau, said earlier in the day that Johansson and Reynolds were engaged and had not yet set a wedding date.
