Scarlett Johansson’s Quirky Fashion Choice at NLCS Sparks Social Media Buzz

Actress Scarlett Johansson and comedian Colin Jost attended Game 4 of Major League Baseball’s National League Championship Series at Citi Field in New York City on October 17, 2024. The event pitted the Los Angeles Dodgers against the New York Mets. However, it was not just the game that caught people’s attention, but rather the couple’s choice of headgear.

During the game, Jost, who is known from ‘Saturday Night Live,’ wore a Mets baseball cap, while Johansson chose a more unconventional approach. Her hat, emblazoned with “THE MET,” referred not to the baseball team but to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, colloquially known as The Met. This sartorial choice quickly went viral after screengrabs of the couple were shared online.

Social media users reacted swiftly to the tongue-in-cheek juxtaposition. “Scarjo wore a MET hat, as in The Metropolitan Museum of Art, to the Mets game. ICONIC,” one user wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter. Another added, “Scarlett Johansson at the #LADvsNYM game with Colin Jost wearing a hat that says ‘The Met’ on it actually deserves an Emmy.”

Johansson, a native of New York known for her loyalty to the Yankees, shared in a 2021 interview the extent of her fandom during the Yankees’ successful World Series run from 1998 to 2000. She mentioned keeping a rookie card of legendary player Derek Jeter in her wallet. Jost, conversely, is a Mets fan, stemming from his Staten Island upbringing, leading to a lighthearted Yankees-Mets rivalry between the couple.

The couple’s appearance was filled with humor, matching Johansson’s previous statements about their relationship dynamic. “We laugh a lot and communicate with one another and check in,” she previously said. Jost and Johansson, who started dating in 2017 and married in 2020, continue to capture public interest with their charming interactions.

Further emphasizing their playful bond, Jost frequently receives humorous jabs about his wife during ‘Saturday Night Live,’ often delivered by co-anchor Michael Che. Despite their sometimes divergent sports affiliations, the couple maintains a supportive and humorous relationship, often showcased during public events like the NLCS.
