Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost were the ultimate power couple at the SNL50: The Anniversary Special.
Stepping out in New York City on Feb. 16 to celebrate 50 years of the iconic comedy show, the Black Widow actress turned heads in a black Prada midi dress with delicate straps in a diamanté-trimmed bodice. The elegant piece featured a small chest cutout and scattered crystal embellishments.

The 40-year-old completed the look with silver ankle-strap heels, diamond jewelry, drop earrings, and a sleek, slicked-back bun.
Jost, a staff writer for the show since 2005 and co-anchor of Weekend Update since 2014, looked dashing in a classic tuxedo.
The internet went wild over the duo as they made their grand entrance on the carpet:
"Okay, they are truly in love. Body language doesn’t lie."
"He looks so handsome, and she's stunning. The most eautiful couple."
"Now this is a stunning couple!"
"Scarlett won in every way."
"I love Scarlett and Colin. Glad she found someone like him."
"Scarlett looks incredible!!!"
Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost Are Eager to Collaborate on a Show
The couple first crossed paths on the set of Saturday Night Live in 2006. At the time, Johansson was making her hosting debut, while Jost was in his first year as a writer for the show.
Though they stayed friends over the years, romance didn’t spark until March 2017, and they made their public debut that November.
The couple has always been each other’s biggest supporters, and insiders recently revealed that they’re eager to collaborate on a show together.
A source said to Life & Style magazine, "[Colin is] Scarlett’s biggest fan, and she has so much admiration for his talent too." They added, "Colin is funny with such great timing. Working with him in Fly Me to the Moon was a total slam dunk."
Although they "weren’t sure how it would go, they both loved it in the movie and are now saying they want to do more together."
"TV would be ideal because they could shoot in New York and set their schedules around their home life. It’s still something they’re mulling over, but they are looking at pitches and coming up with their own ideas as well; it’s kind of given their relationship an interesting new focus," they revealed. "They’re both super busy right now, so it’s not like they’re going at this with both barrels, but it is on the table."
