Fugger: Keira Knightley

Fug or Fab: Keira Knightley

When I first saw this, I thought, “Giant overpriced duvet.”

But between that and uploading the picture and inserting it into the post, my small heart grew three sizes and I might love it now. The spring green is more unusual than if it were white, I’m coming around on the way it plays off the blue flower details, and — between the makeup and her dramatic dark hair — she’s wearing that shade without looking jaundiced. Is it genuinely great? Or am I just drunk on the fact that I’m pleased it’s not some dumbass “directional” lacy black navel drape?

Well Played, Keira Knightley

Keira Knightley has both been great and looked great in her other collaborations with Joe Wright, so I’m looking forward to seeing her in Anna Karenina. It doesn’t hurt that she’s making the press tour a real pleasure to behold:

This is so pretty — I love the mix of midnight blue and black. The whole ensemble is suitably dramatic-looking for the role she’s promoting, but it also seems wholly in character with her own tastes, so it doesn’t come off costumey. Remember when her makeup always seemed smeared and consumption-adjacent? We’ve come so far. It’s always exciting when a celebrity makes you excited to see what she’s going to wear next. Between Keira, Jennifer Lawrence, Anne Hathaway, Amanda Seyfried, hopefully Tilda Swinton, and… well, the list is long of ladies who might make noise come awards season and/or be on the circuit promoting their films. But even if I stop here, it’s already exciting.

I just never think of Vogue as trying to target people who want to make their tendinitis sexy. … Wait, hang on, that might be exactly what Vogue‘s target demo is. Never mind.

Do you love it?

I thought about this, and I think I like it:

It might be a little droopy? But it feels like it’s nicely in keeping with the fact that she’s there to promote Anna Karenina, and nothing says Tolstoy like a beautiful lace-clad woman who gets a little droopy. And then…well, no spoilers. But she’s not going to pop up on Comedy Central.

Here's hoping Keira herself is only temporarily in character.

When I read that Keira Knightley was going to play the titular role in Anna Karenina, I must admit I rolled my eyes and said something like, “because there is no one else in the world who can play the lead role in a period drama,” and then said something else like, “I just hope UNCLENCHES HER JAW,” and then I ate a cookie and forgot about it. But, as per usual, I have come around. For one thing, K-Squared is traditionally excellent in Joe Wright movies — she even won me over in his Pride and Prejudice adaption, and the Colin Firth version is OBVIOUSLY my spirit animal. For another, the trailer makes the movie look like it will either fantastically sweeping or sweepingly ridiculous (it is not subtle) and honestly, I can work in either of those directions. She and Jude actually look rather restrained in it, especially compared to Aaron Taylor-Johnson’s mustache, and she also looks beautiful. As she does here.

Keira Fughtley

I often think of Keira Knightley as British Ginnifer Goodwin, because they both look equally dour on the red carpet.

Maybe it’s an alliterative-name thing, although the Kardashians seem content to smile (perhaps they were immunized to the syndrome). But this whole flower-girl motif would stand SO much more of a chance if she appeared alive and happy, rather than spaced-out and bored. And if she is spaced out and bored, well, it’s an old refrain, but a true one: You’re an ACTRESS. SO ACT. I’d like to be contemplating the shiny, shiny intricacies of your wearable divan, not wondering when you’re getting the maypole extracted from your rear cavity.
