From the wee age of three, Keira Christina Knightly (born March 26, 1985) knew she wanted to be in pictures. She begged her mother for an agent, and finally, at the age of six, she got one as a reward for studying hard.
The first time I saw her on screen was in the 2003 movie Bend It Like Beckham. I thought she was lovely, and that short hair — so spunky!
Since then, Keira’s star has steadily risen. She’s appeared in a host of blockbusters like Pirates of the Caribbean (yargh, mateys!) with my man Johnny Depp…
… and been up for some big awards already, earning Best Actress nominations from the Academy Awards and Golden Globes for her roles in Pride and Prejudice and Atonement.
Throughout her career Keira’s changed her hair often, going from short to long and dark to light. She always looks distinctive and sassy with short hair, but I dig those long locks, too.
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen

Karen says
Hi Wehkwas,
I like it too! I’m digging it with the bangs. 🙂

IMO, Keira Knightley is the most beautiful woman on earth. She’s clasically beautiful and will never be trashy. Perhaps I have her on a pedestal? 🙂
Karen says
Hi Heidi,
🙂 I think she’s very elegant. Don’t you just love her in the Chanel ads?

Oh God, it’s a tie between number seven and number nine. I chose number seven due to ‘eeny meeny miny mo.’
I love Keira Knightley. I haven’t seen all her movies but my favorite with her in it so far is King Arthur. She’s such a stunning lady. I own four of her movies so far. I love the first Pirates of the Caribbean but I’m very scared to see the other two parts. Disney sequels tend to be very hit and miss (the Little Mermaid sequel=cringe worthy).

I didn’t vote for it, but 2nd place goes to Keira’s short crop cut (#8). It’s sooo cute!!

I loved both 1 and 3. But she is such a beauty she can pull off so many looks. Personally, I love her hair in P of C movies the best. She always looks sensational in films!

I absolutely LOVE Keira Knightly! She is my style inspiration. She is so poised and elegant, I think she carries off all of these hairstyles flawlessly. But I do love the long, wavy, natural do in #7 best of all!

Karen,
I love her in Chanel ads. She embodies elegance, style, and sophistication.
Renee says
To be honest, she’s so beautiful, everything will look good on her! But my faves are #3, #5, and #7. 🙂

Hey,
I think number 8 looks the best, cos shes slim, so she can carry off the look. Thats my favourite.
I also love number 5, she looks gorgeous:)

She is sooo gorgeous! My role model! I cut my hair short because I was influenced by her short hair….didn’t work out so well for me lol. If she wasn’t in Hollywood I would have no motivation to even look at the tabloids : D
