Scarlett Johansson proved she is indeed a bubbly blonde in a new campaign for Moët & Chandon.

The Hollywood actress looks her bombshell best in a series of smouldering images for the champagne house, who named her their first ever celebrity ambassador last month.

In one provocative image she pops the cork off a bottle of the French tipple, while in another she shows off her fancy footwork as she holds a champagne glass between her toes.

The 24-year-old, who is no doubt delighted with the free flowing champagne that will come her way as part of the role, is also photographed reclining poolside on a lounge with a huge ice bucket (but not a drop of liquor in sight).

The campaign was shot by renowned photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott.

'I am honoured to have been chosen as their ambassador and to make history with the brand, as the first celebrity face of champagne,' said at a gala film evening in London in March which was also attended by Thandie Newton and Eva Herzigova.

The head of Moët & Chandon Frédéric Cumenal said Scarlett, the star of Lost In Translation and more recently Vicky Cristina Barcelona, was 'the obvious choice.'

In a gushing speech about the actress, he continued: 'She, like Moët, has a magical story to tell and makes people dream.

'She is a true icon of celebration - refreshingly spontaneous, generous, glamorous and she lives life to the fullest both on-screen and off.'

Scarlett will soon be back to her day job with a new role in Iron Man 2.

She will play the Russian femme fatale Black Widow in the highly anticipated sequel.

She is set to join a star-studded cast which includes Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Samuel L. Jackson, Don Cheadle and Mickey Rourke.

British actress Emily Blunt was initially cast for the role but stepped down due to obligations to the film Gulliver's Travels.

Cheers to me: Scarlett says she is 'honoured' to front the campaign (and probably delighted at the freebies that will no doubt come her way)
