Scarlett Johansson reportedly burst into tears at a New York fundraiser on Monday night.

The blonde actress was seen sobbing in the bathroom at the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala, before being comforted by British designer Stella McCartney, it has been claimed.

A source told the New York Daily News newspaper: "She was crying to Stella - not hysterical, confused. It was about 10.30 p.m., after Jennifer Hudson performed. They walked back from the bathroom together."

The reason for the "Match Point" actress' tears is unknown. Scarlett, 22, and Stella - the daughter of Beatles legend Sir Paul, chatted until Scarlett was ready to dry her eyes and rejoin the party.

Scarlett and Stella arrived at the event together, where other guests included Lindsay Lohan and Julianne Moore.

Scarlett's ex-lover Josh Hartnett, was also at the party. The sexy star dated her "The Black Dahlia" co-star for two years before they split last year, blaming their hectic work schedules.
