This dress in that book cover has an explanation: apparently, the fictionalized story of Mary Boleyn told in “The Other Boleyn Girl” (book and movie) generated a huge interest in Mary as a historical figure, and everyone wanted to know more about her… And it is understandable, because Mary Boleyn is one of those historical figures who had a very interesting life, but ended up overshadowed. Because her sister was Anne Boleyn.
So I guess it isn’t very weird that they took a picture of Scarlett Johansson to illustrate the cover of the book…
