The 26-year-old emulates former stars of the silver screen including Buster Keaton, Marlene Dietrich and Sarah Bernhardt in an unusual photo shoot for W Magazine.
The issue was a tribute to director Woody Allen and his 'women' - with Scarlett among his many modern day muses.
Clowning around: Scarlett Johansson appears in an unusual photoshoot for W Magazine in which she dresses firstly as Sarah Bernhardt
Sad face: The funny pictorial was entitled Woody's Other Woman: A Study In Scarlett in which she also portrays silent movie star Buster Keaton
In the first striking photograph, taken by Tim Walker and styled by Jacob K, the Vicky Christina Barcelona star portrayed Sarah Bernhardt, the French stage actress from the 1870's.
Posing in an all white outfit, complete with white face make-up and dramatic black eyes and lips, Scarlett looks like an exaggerated caricatured version of the notorious star.
For several of the pictures Scarlet donned a pin-striped suit and straw boater hat to portray Buster Keaton - a silent film actor and director from the 1920's.
The cinema icon earned the nickname The Great Stone Face for his stoic deadpan expression and in the photographs Scarlett copies the scowl and sad face as she poses with a magnifying glass.
The next portrait shows Scarlett as Italian actress Guilietta Masina, the wife and muse of famed director Frederico Fellini who's starring role was in Oscar winner La Strada.
Scarlett posed with a trumpet in honour of Gulietta's last wish to have a trumpet player perform La Strada by Nino Rota at her funeral.

The actress looked the spitting image of the petite blonde star complete with cropped hair and signature black bowler hat.
The final picture in the editorial spread Scarlett embodied one of the greatest female stars of all time - German born actress Marlene Dietrich.
With her naturally blonde hair dyed a rich reddish brown and curled into voluminous waves, and with flawless 1930's inspired make-up, the young actress looked the spitting image of the sultry star.
The beautiful set of pictures will be featured in the June 2011 issue of the famed fashion magazine, on newsstands now.
