Two years after being deported to Russia, spy Anna Chapman is making her name as a model. The red-headed beauty stomped down the runway during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Russia, channeling Scarlett Johansson’s look from the upcoming movie “The Avengers.”

Chapman walked for the second year in a row at the Moscow Fashion Week, getting a round of applause as she modeled clothes for French label I Love Fashion. Chapman wore a pair of sleek black pants and slim-fitting black leather jacket. With her pouty expression and her auburn hair curled into ringlets, Chapman looked almost identical to Johansson as The Black Widow.

It’s very likely that the resemblance was intentional, as the Black Widow’s real name in the Marvel universe is Natalia Romanova. Fictional Romanova is a trained spy who hails from Stalingrad, Russia.

Still, the stark look is tamer than Chapman’s modeling debut at Fashion Week Russia. While modeling for designers Ilya Shiyan and Yana Rudkovskaya last year, Chapman carried a gun, which she dramatically held to the throat of a male model.
