Christmas preparation Q&A with Scarlett Johansson, the face of Dolce&Gabbana

Around this time of the year I’d be doing Q&A with world-known celebrities on what Christmas meant to them, how is their preparation for the big celebration, their makeup look and so on. Today I’ll be posting up a series of Q&A throughout the day and we gotta start the day with my all time favourite beauty, the one and only Scarlett Johansson.

Christmas 2014 Q&A Scarlett Johansson 1
What do you do in your free time over Christmas?
Over the holidays I like to watch old movies, read and bake.

Do you have a favourite Christmas song?
My favorite holiday crooners are Nat King Cole and Bing Crosby.

Do you have a favourite Christmas film?
My favorite holiday movie is Home Alone 2, believe it or not!

What do you look for when selecting the perfect gift for a friend or loved one?
I always look for a present that my friend or loved one covets but would never ask for themselves. I also love to give gifts that can be keepsakes, like The One Collector’s Edition – the bottles with unique coins are beautiful!

What is the most precious Christmas gift you have received, and why was that particular gift so special?
The most special gift I ever received was when my brother got me a gift certificate to our favorite childhood restaurant. It was an opportunity for us to spend time together, reminisce and finally try the daiquiris we were always too young to sample.

Red is inherently festive, what festive thoughts does red conjure for you?
I love red all year round, but at Christmas it means even more. It makes me think of getting glammed up for the red carpet, or parties with my friends, and of course it brings out passion in everyone.

Christmas is a time for celebration, how do you prepare yourself and make yourself feel great for holiday season parties?
I make sure I hit the gym a lot before the holidays. Then I don’t feel guilty about over indulging at holiday parties!

You are often spotted wearing red, what do you like about the colour?
Red is the perfect colour for the red carpet and fun events, and if I’m not wearing a red outfit I’ll rarely step out without a red lip. When I wear red I feel passionate, feminine, and powerful.

Do you ever collect any items that may be considered special?
Collectibles to me can be of any value or description. They are my treasures that evoke special memories. That’s why The One Collector’s Edition fragrance is so great, it gives you an ornament to keepsake, long after the fragrance may be finished. The bottle because of its unique look will always bring character to any women’s dresser.

Christmas 2014 Q&A Scarlett Johansson 2
Is there any specific fragrance that you would buy for your partner for Christmas?
It’s really difficult to buy a fragrance for someone as a smell is so particular for each person. I think The One for Men takes the guesswork out of it because it’s unique enough for a man with specific tastes yet appeals to most because it is so wearable, and the new Collector’s Edition bottle makes it a real keepsake.

Do you like buying Christmas presents?
I much prefer to give presents than to receive them, especially gifts that are unique editions and can be treasured forever.

Do you like having big Christmas parties? How do you prepare for one?
I like to go to other people’s holiday parties because when I host them, all I do is clean the whole time! I usually bring a bottle of champagne and mistletoe.

Which makeup item is your ‘go to’ for a Christmas look?
I usually carry a red lipstick with me for a last minute night out. My favourite lipstick for years has been Dolce&Gabbana Classic Cream Lipstick in Devil and it continues being my go-to. It’s a classic look that will never go out of fashion.

What do you like about Christmas the most?
My favorite thing about the holidays is getting to see my family all in one place. I travel so frequently for work, it’s one of the only times we all have to get together.

Where is your favourite place to spend the Christmas period?
My favorite city to be in for the holidays is New York.

Do you tend to spend your Christmas with your family or friends?
As I’ve gotten older, I spend the holidays wherever is most relaxing and convenient, since my work life is hectic. That is usually with my family but sometimes with friends.

Do you prefer a white Christmas or Christmas under the sun?
I love a white winter holiday.

Do you have any specific Christmas memories from your childhood?
The smell of rice pudding always reminds me of the holidays. My father makes a traditional Danish pudding with a cherry sauce that is totally decadent and delicious.
