Scarlett whose working relationship with Dolce & Gabbana goes way back, assumes the role of classic Hollywood vixen in this latest black-and-white clip which is set in

They star as ex-lovers who are reunited after years apart and the chemistry between them is latent.
Johansson plays the 'aspiring beautiful young star looking for love,' and McConaughey is cast as a 'magnetic screen icon with a trail of paparazzi in his wake.'

The designers could not be happier with the casting. Domenico Dolce said: 'Scarlett is the embodiment of ‘The One’ woman.
She lives and breathes every womanly nuance. She exudes desire and innocence.
She is both sobriety and sensuality. There is innocence in her eyes yet her smile is laced with mischief. She is a talented actress and a beautiful woman.'

Scarlett, who announced her engagement to French journalist Romain Dauriac in August, says that jealousy does come into play from time to time in her romantic life.
'I’m with a Frenchman. I think jealousy comes with the territory,' Scarlett told Esquire.
'But I’d rather be with someone who’s a little jealous than someone who’s never jealous. There’s something a little dead fish about them. A little bit depressing.'
Matthew is wed to Camila Alves, the mother of his three children, sons Levi, five, and Livingston, one, and daughter Vida, three.
