Johansson may not have worn gloves, but she was wearing a $125,000 tiara made by Suzy Fabrikant for Alpha Omega Jewelers. (The 13.1-carat diamond on a white gold piece will be on display in the Harvard Square store.) The actress was thrown a stuff toy pig from someone in the crowd, which she seemed to hug for warmth, and was bombarded with proposals, prompting Johansson to lean into senior Justin Rodriguez to say, “We’re moving so slowly I could take numbers.”
