Scarlett Johansson, with her light hair and killer curves, has been considered a blond bombshell ever since she hit the silver screen. And yeah, ScarJo has been sporting slightly darker tresses for a while -- we haven't seen her as a light blond since last August. But the dark reddish blond she's been wearing was still really soft, and definitely didn't prepare us for her newest look .

Better Off Brunette

Angelina Jolie proves that even the most beautiful face in the world fades under too-golden locks.

Ashlee Simpson was just another pre-fab bottle blonde; an auburn shock gives her a likable edge.

Beyonce's blond beehive bombed compared to her glam mahogany 'do.

Christina Ricci looked washed out under a platinum rinse, while darker hair reveals her bombshell side.

Drew Barrymore's chestnut tresses give the free spirit gravitas.

Jessica Biel is almost forgettable with white hair, but looks red-hot with brunette locks.

Mandy Moore looked like everyteen with her honey highlights; her mocha tendrils are mature and sexy.

Rumer Willis's peroxided pixie pales in comparison to a short cut in a chocolate-y hue.

Selma Blair's punky white crop put the focus on her 'do instead of her striking features.

Lindsay Lohan earns sophistication points when her hair's more beachy than bleachy.

Scarlett went dark. Really, really dark. Like, kinda goth dark -- what's the motivation? Is she hoping to be the next dark-haired siren on Mickey Rourke's to-do list? Is she really into the Twilight series? Did she want the curtains to match the carpet?

Some stars are definitely better off as brunettes -- check out this gallery at Lemondrop for proof! Then, tell us whether or not you like her new look in the poll, and leave us a comment as to why you think she went dangerously dark!

Scarlett Johansson looks horrible with her dark hair, it does not do her justice. She is much more pretty with her blonde hair. She needs to change it back.

She looks beautiful! I love this girl-woman because she is not afraid to just be herself! She has real curves and has been a very good role model. I like her. Too many people in this world have bad role models or too much pressure to be something they are not. I support those who are "normal."

I don't see what's wrong with it. I like the way it looks. I'm a redhead and tried black. Now that was a bad idea! It's good to change things up.

Her hair is TOO dark. As with the pics of the blondes, most of them went TOO blonde. Nobody said that the ONLY shade of blonde is PLATINUM. Those girls/women looked ridiculous. There are shades of blonde that are darker and maybe they should go to a hairstylist who will tell them the truth about how they'd look with that color and their complexion rather than just give them what they want. ANY hair colorist worth their weight will do that.

Can't see the fascination with this twit, other than her large breasts. Can't act, and she's got that hollywood attitude, that she produces fragrant turds. Very prevalent in that town.

Jimbo you said it very well. I've never seen it either.

I don't see anything wrong with the color. It's not really dark enough to be considered goth... It's the limpness of the style that really kills it. She does not look good with straight hair at all. I think her hair is too fine to do a middle part stick-straight style. There's no volume at all and it looks like it just died on her head! If she had styled it in soft waves like she did as a blonde/redhead it would have looked just fine.
