My all-time favorite celebrity look has to be a powder-blue Prada shirtdress that Keira Knightley once wore. She even topped off the look with a pair of retro-style Cutler and Gross sunglasses. Four years later, I still dream of owning that exact outfit.
Knightley never experiments with "ugly" or directional trends, meaning that her looks don't date. In fact, I'd argue that she only wears "fancy" and elegant clothes (she favors dresses that feature collars, embroidery, nipped-in waists, delicate buttons, full skirts, frills, and ribbons). Her stylist, Leith Clark, has made her entire career out of her distinctive romantic aesthetic—whether it's finding the most beautiful dresses she can for the actress or via the magazine he founded, Lula.
As the face of the Coco Mademoiselle fragrance, Keira Knightley has a wardrobe filled with beautiful Chanel Couture pieces. However, she also wears exquisite creations by the likes of Erdem, Valentino, and Burberry. If you are a "fancy clothes" person, then trust us—you're going to enjoy the 15 outfits below.
Style Notes: This powder-blue Prada dress will forever be my dream purchase.
Style Notes: This monochrome Chanel skirt-and-blazer combo will forever be chic.
Style Notes: Puff sleeves, floral embroideries, delicate pearl buttons… This is the definition of a Keira Knightley dress.
Style Notes: We love the gold velvet shoes she wore with this purple tweed Chanel dress.
Style Notes: This embroidered gold dress with a tulle overlay will forever be a beauty.
Style Notes: Purple is one of Keira Knightley's go-to colors, and we love this Dolce & Gabbana wallpaper print.
Style Notes: Knightley is also a big fan of tutu silhouettes. She wore a dress like this on her wedding day.
Style Notes: The actress wore this tiered purple Erdem gown with pretty bows on the shoulder to the Screen Actors Guild Awards one year.

Style Notes: The embellished pockets are a playful addition to this white Chanel dress.
