Scarlett Johansson plays Ivanka Trump in Saturday Night Live's 'Complicit' parody

  • 13/03/2017

Hollywood star Scarlett Johansson has taken down US President Donald Trump's daughter in a phoney perfume advertisement for comedy sketch show Saturday Night Live.

Ivanka Trump is known to have a very close relationship with her father - and the parody plays on that heavily by suggesting she's complicit in all his decisions as leader of the free world.

"Every man knows her name. Every woman knows her face. When she walks into a room, all eyes are on her. She's Ivanka," a female narrator can be heard saying in a sensual tone, as Johansson walks into what looks to be some sort of high-class, black-tie event.

"And a woman like her deserves a fragrance all her own - a scent made just for her - because she's beautiful, she's powerful - she's complicit.

"She's a woman who knows what she wants, and knows what she's doing - complicit.

"She doesn't crave the spotlight, but we see her. Oh, how we see her," the narration continues, as Johansson's Ivanka looks at her father Donald, played by Alec Baldwin.

Later in the video, she's described as "a feminist, a champion, an advocate for women", before the narrator pauses and asks, "But like, how?"

"Complicit: The fragrance for the woman who could stop all of this - but won't," the narrator finishes.

The most recent sketch is the latest in a string of barbed SNL segments aimed at Donald Trump and his administration.

Alec Baldwin's role as Mr Trump, Melissa McCarthy's part as his press secretary Sean Spicer, and Kate McKinnon's role as US Attorney General Jeff Sessions have all proven popular in previous episodes.
