I worship that outfit with the hat and boots. I love that she still takes taxies too. They scare me and I'm not the best driver in the world lol!

Granted....taking taxis in London is really a luxury. Almost as expensive as getting a personal driver!

^ Damn right I am te he!
Anyone see her on Isaac on the Style Network? She looked the best I have ever seen. Her dress and shoes were gorgeous, her hair looked amazing, her makeup and skin were flawless... I am trying to find screen caps but am not having any success. 
Keira interview (in bits)in Vogue Dec 2005..typed by me
Her office suggests we meet in the Electric Brasserie on Portobello Road, which is fine by me. The fashionable eating place is well enough accustomed to London's A-List (Hugh Grant and Jemima Khan, Sienna Miller and/or Jude Law, Kate Moss, Rachel Weisz, et cetera) that the staff should be cool. The last thing you want, when interviewing a pretty young actress, is a starstruck waiter. Especially now that--this week at least--Keira Knightley is UK-tabloid target numero uno. Her office just issued a bland factual statement saying that she "amicably split" from her hunky irish boyfriend, Jamie Dornan, so noe there's a money shot to aim at for London's gangs of bandit paparazzi: KEIRA--HEARTBROKEN!
Alas, when she slides onto the banquette opposite, in a black top and black cutoff jeans, nobody can be cool. This is no "pretty young actress" but a great, great beauty. In the flesh, her huge black eyes, dark feathered brows, sweep of jawline, and perfect mouth are gobsmacking. You're compelled to stare at her. Exceptional beauty is very rare; its power is arcane and magical; it unsettles people. She wears it like a couture gown or a Russian grand duchess's diaomond tiara, and it puts her at odds with the ordinariness of celebrity or the everyday attractiveness of any bright young woman in cutoff jeans. The waiter is not so much starstruck as worshiping when he takes her order for fish and mashed potato.
Struggling to turn my uncool stare unto something approaching professional curiosity, I ask if she's wearing any makeup at all. Brightley she says "Um--eyeliner! And, um--a bit of spot cream! But not anything else." Somehwhat to my relief, she speaks not in the tongues of angels but in the rapid breathy tones of any nicely raised kid from the (smarter) London suburbs: half street/half posh. The first ten minuted of my tape could be Kristin Scott Thomas or Elizabeth Hurley, bristling with crip little "actually"s and "absolutely"s. But once she's warmed up, her voice slides into regular London-estuarial (formerly known as cockney). Her hair is highlighted blonde and sliced into a (rare for her) punky, chin-length bob--she just felt like "getting it all chopped off," she says, and went to a local hairdresser on a whim. "I'd finished Pride& Prejudice, and I was going to start shooting Domino, and when they saw me they liked the short look, so that's what I wear in the film." As she chatters about clothes and style and shopping, the great weight of her unsettling beauty can be moved aside, and he can (just about) be seen as what she actually is: a spirited young actress who turned 20 only this year and who is poised for global approbation.
Pride & Prejudiceis a vast, beautiful, feel-good, Working Title production, set (rather like Gosford Park) in aristocratic country piles and stunning English rural landscapes.
okay thats part one...im taking a break and ill post more in a bit

cont'd
The fine ensemble cast includes Judi Dench, Brenda Blethyn, and Donald Sutherland ( and has Matthew MacFadyen making a pretty good go of wresting the part of Mr. Darcy back from the ownership of Colin "Wet Shirt" Firth). But the movie belongs to Knightley. Partly because, as Elizabeth Bennet, second of the five Bennet sisters, she is in nearly every scene (in a thriteen-week shoot, she had one day off). Partly because Jane Austen works her usual magic for English roses (it was Sense and Sensibility that launched the young Kate Winslet straight onto the prow of Titanic). But mostly because Knightley is breathtaking in it. Sutherland told a London paper that she is the most iconic actress he ever worked with. (Really? Truly? More that Julie Christie or Jane Fonda? "You said 'iconic,'" Sutherland told the paper. "She reminds me of Marilyn monroe, but with more humility.")
Pride's director, Joe Wright, found Knightley's great beauty disturbing enough that he struggled hard not to cast her in his movie. (It's his debut feature film, though you'd never know.) "I thought she was going to be too beautiful to play Lizzie Bennet," he says. "And I was looking at other actresses for the part." Working Title pressed him hard for Knightley )"because she is a star, and they wanted a star"), and eventually he flew to meet her in a hotel bar in Chicago. "It was a nightmare trip; the plane was late, there was snow on the ground, and it was eleven o'clock at night when we walked into the bar. Keira was shooting the Jacket at that point. And there she was-- just this scruffy-looking girl in the bar, with a mess of long dark hair." he liked the way she says what she thinks, not what she thinks the director would want to hear. "She's so smart and quick-witted." And he liked the fact that she seems "so normal. She really is the girl next door," he says. "Who happens to be extraordinarily beautiful."
The extraordinary beauty is toying with her mashed potato as I eye up her style. She shops like most 20 year olds, in Topshop. And in London's vintage markets (Portobello, camden, Spitalfields--though "they're spoiling that with redevelopment, and it's all gone touristy. Not what it used to be").
The black stretch top is "from Selfridges' sale"; the cutoff jeans are "Seven, from Barneys, also in the sale." She has on little green Mary Jane flats by Marc Jacobs. "I didn't particularly want green, but they were the only ones in the sale that were in my size. I try and buy everything in the sales." Firmly, she defines herself: "I am very grungy and scruffy. And i'm not into very expensive clothing, because i'm clumsy--I always spill things down me."
more to come..
