Johansson said red carpets and everyday celebrity culture have become noticeably more relaxed over the past two decades, allowing stars greater freedom over their appearance. She said: "Actors are able to express their personal style on the red carpet much more than they ever did before." The Oscar-nominated actress said the contrast was particularly stark when she looked back at the expectations placed on movie stars during her younger years, when performers could face intense scrutiny over how they presented themselves publicly. "There was such a standard on how movie stars were supposed to look. It was unachievable, and it didn't allow for personal style in the same way (it does now,)" she noted.
