Keira Knightley

She looks like a dream in that dress.

 

[Hchloe]

It's a cute dress but jeez, time to retire it.

 

[eizhowa]

^Because she has worn it once or twice before? It is a great dress, and I don't see why it is wrong to wear it more than once, as long as it is a different occation and the styling is slightly different.

I love that she wears her wedding dress again. It just goes so well with the laid back style of her wedding. The sleeves are gorgeous

 

[HeatherAnne]

I love the decision, it shows a definite down-to-earthness. Whether she picked it herself, or some stylist did. The "sure, I'll wear it again" mindset that Keira had to have about it is awesome.

 

[Not Plain Jane]

She's a pretty cream puff!

I actually love her hair too...and that she re-wore her wedding dress...

 

[ad090915]

Lovely with that dress.

 

[LolaSvelt]

Yeah, I really don't see the problem with wearing a dress more than twice. And speaking of recycling items, she wore those shoes a bit during the Pride & Prejudice era. It's interesting because nobody wears those kind of sandals any more, but I think they're quite cute.

i think it's so CHIC to wear your clothes again, and again. it shows that you are actually living in your clothes, and they have become an essential part of you. and in my opinion, nothing is more chic than that!

I am so with you! I have never understood the fact that you cant wear same dress twice. Why the hell not!!

it just wouldn't be winter without Keira in her shearling coat!

She re-wears things so well, they never look dated or just a recycle of the same outfit. I love the overlay on her wedding dress.

Keira Knightley and James Righton say goodbye at the front of their home as he leaves for the day on Sunday (December 22) in London, England.

Earlier in the week, Keira was seen out wearing a pair of overalls as she hit up a local market with a pal to buy some fruits and vegetables.

I love to see new pics of her but I just don't get her obsession with overalls.
Those belong to 5 year old kids.

Harper's Bazaar UK February 2014: Keira Knightley by Alexi Lubomirski.

February's cover star, Keira Knightly, talks to Sophie Elmhirst about feminism, film and why she will never join Twitter.

"I think it’s great that the discussions are finally being allowed to be had [about feminism], as opposed to anybody mentioning feminism and everybody going, 'Oh, f***ing shut up,'” says Keira Knightly, 28, in her cover interview with Harper's Bazaar for the February Issue. "Somehow, it [feminism] became a dirty word. I thought it was really weird for a long time, and I think it’s great that we’re coming out of that.

Knightly, whose forthcoming film, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, is the latest reboot of the Tom Clancy books about CIA agent Jack Ryan, says that she is often the only woman in a cast and quite often she finds herself "walking into a room, and talking about why my character is saying this, but I’ll be talking about it to a room of five guys. I’ve lost most of the arguments."

Given her work schedule, Knightly notes that it is little wonder that the film world is is a male-dominated one: "I go to work at 5.30 in the morning; I wouldn’t get back probably until nine o’clock at night. Most of the guys that I talk to – and I’ve spoken to a lot of guys about it – they say [whispers], 'My wife does everything.' You think, 'Why wasn’t I thinking about this five years ago?'" Instead, she was "worrying about a boyfriend and ****…" The dearth of women in film is partly what makes her consider directing, she says – because things will only change when more women are in positions of genuine power. "Hollywood has a really long way to go. I don’t think that anybody can deny that, really, and I think as much as you are getting more women playing lead roles… they’re still pretty few and far between." After 20 years of experience (she started acting at the age of 7), Knightly wonders whether she might move behind the camera, and gain more control. "As I get older I get more interested by it… There is a lot of 'You do what you’re told' [as an actor]. After watching it and being part of it for so long, you start going, 'I wonder if there is a journey to the other side.' I don’t know if there is, but I’m interested in seeing people who have done it."

Knightly, whose previous films include Pirates of the Caribbean, Pride & Prejudice, Atonement and Never Let Me Go, says that Jack Ryan involved "lots of running" and is "a piece of popcorn" kind of movie, by which she means big-budget blockbuster material. "Sometimes," she explains, "people need pieces of popcorn, and sometimes people need to make pieces of popcorn." This particular piece of popcorn has been made by one of Knightly's heroes, director Kenneth Branagh, who dispelled any feelings of shame that Knightly may have had about making a blockbuster for blockbuster's sake, she says. "He [Branagh] was like, 'Don’t feel guilty… it’s going to be a Hollywood action film, that’s what it’s going to be, and that’s fine.' It was quite liberating hearing him say that."

For years, Knightly says, she sought public approval and it is only recently that she has learnt to "chill out an awful lot" and worry less about someone telling her she was doing a good job "[I was] spending so much time being neurotic and beating myself up [that I thought] actually, if I didn’t, I might get further by just going, 'Oh, **** it.'" Of her propensity for self-doubt, she says, "It’s an English trait, isn’t it?" - and perhaps for her it is also the legacy of the overachieving schoolgirl used to pats on the head and gold stars. She was always a keen worker, she says, but "I wish I hadn’t been. Life would have been so much easier.

Knightley is newly married, to the musician James Righton of the Klaxons, but never thought of herself as the marrying type, she says. Now, however, she likes the consistency that marriage has provided: "These words that you think beforehand, 'That’s the reason I’ll never do it'… those words that you see as completely negative, and you suddenly see them as being incredibly positive, and that’s actually quite liberating and quite nice."

Knightley guards her privacy fiercely. Tired of hearing friends bang on about Twitter, she signed up under a false name – an experiment that lasted 12 hours. "It made me feel a little bit like being in a school playground and not being popular and standing on the sidelines kind of going, 'Argh.'" When asked whether she minds audiences having such a false impression of her (haughty, posh), she shoots back: "No, I think that’s fine… I like being private. I haven’t asked a lot of the actresses who I really admire, 'How do you do it?' because I don’t want to know. Maybe I’m childish in that way; I just don’t want to know about your life." The work, she concludes, is all that matters.

‘Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit’ is released nationwide on 31 January.
