A recent visit to the cinema meant seeing the critically acclaimed and rightfully so - Atonement. A beautiful film in everyway and even made me shed a tear or two, but that's beside the point! I can hear the yawns already as I mention the name Keira Knightley, but she is perhaps, what Emma Watson was to fashion blogs back in July, meaning she is everywhere! With good reason too though, as Keira, despite her sometimes questionable acting skills, (this does not include Atonement, where Keira was utterly believable in her role) and sometimes irritating manner, she is always impeccably dressed and has in my opinion a face, so exotic, that it is the only face among young actresses today that could achieve iconic status, in years to come.

It is common knowledge that Keira is forever under speculation about being 'too skinny', 'anorexic' etc. As much as this is a serious subject, these are also serious accusations, based on no grounds other then her skinny frame and lack of 'womanly' features. I find it rather tedious, the fact that she must spend almost every interview denying that she has an eating disorder. To me, Keira does indeed appear skinny but come on, there are so many other actresses and celebrities out there who are too, and rather unlike Keira do not appear as though they naturally are. As well as that a browse through the comments left beneath paparazzi shots of 
Keira at JustJared.com gives a clear indicator of what many people think of her appearance. Referring to her as 'Queen of the Bobble heads' and 'Walking Death' and saying that 'She looks like she's about to fall over and die', as well as countless "horribles'", "awfuls'" and "fuglys'", just leave me thinking why are you even bothering leaving these remarks. Sure Keira is far skinnier then the average person but amazing as it may seem, some people are naturally slim and obviously sense she works in an image obsessed career she is hardly going to dining out in McDonalds on a daily basis either. In all, I think this Keira bashing is only due to that she has a far more beautiful, striking face then most of Tinseltown put together.
As well as appearing in Atonement, which just for reference has Keira in gentle curls, flimsy floral dresses, 40's trenchs and of course that envious emerald green silk dress, Keira is also the much publicised new face of fragrence Coco Mademoiselle, a post once held by none other then Kate Moss. The advertisement is sumptuous in everyway, and if any one was to be the face of Mademoiselle, then no one could do it better then Keira, what with her natural good looks, that enbody the Chanel elegance. When on the subject of natural good looks, this does actually include her crooked but none the less endearing smile, or what someone on JustJared referred to as her 'British teeth'. Does anyone else find it refreshing that she hasn't had professional orthodontics in this age of perfection?

Keira as she appears in Atonement, a film worth going to see for the sake of beauty as much as it's powerful plotHer off screen style is very relaxed, youthful with a slight touch of the London rock chick. Wide leg trousers, straw fedoras, long chain necklaces and Topshop dresses. She tends to look very natural and young, and her face is clean of makeup and her hair naturally wavey. Her red carpet style is in my opinion one of the best around, recently anyway, what with her fabulous looks for Atonement promotions. Always very feminine - delicate colours, floaty fabrics and there is almost an innocence in her flawless, ethereal appearance. Chanel, of course is her designer of choice, which means her clothes are classic and ever beautiful too.
