See the full effect of Scarlett Johansson’s star power in play on the set of her February 2013 cover shoot.

In our latest Behind the Cover video, the actress models her way through some of the most desired pieces of the new fashion season. Dresses from and made a welcome change for an actress more likely to be caught in a well-worn pair of jeans.

‘I dress like a boy most of the time in my own personal life,’ she said. ‘I like a lot of tailored things and jackets with jeans. I’m a jeans kind of girl… But I like to dress up in girly things sometimes.’

Makeup artist Lisa Houghton emphasised Johansson’s natural beauty with ‘very much a peachy, creamy, nude look. It’s makeup, but it doesn’t speak makeup.’

In the magazine, Johansson talks about marriage, privacy and what it’s like to be viewed as a sex symbol. Find the issue on newsstands from Wednesday.
