How to Get Keira Knightley's Style

This British beauty wasn't honored by the Elle style awards for nothing and pulls her outfits together for a classy and chic look that always fits the occasion. Get Keira Knightley's exceptional style by copying some of her signature outfits and using some insider tips.

Instructions

1. Dress comfortably and keep it simple for day-to-day wear. Keira lights up the red carpet as well as any other star but she prefers a casual look for everyday, inspired by hip London areas such as Soho or Covent Garden. If you can't make it to London, check your local thrift stores for casual, slightly hippy pieces, such as a velvet jacket or silk pants.

2. Get some inspiration from the past with a romantic flowered camisole or frilly jacket. Keira has made many period dramas such as "Atonement" and "Pride and Prejudice." She takes some ideas from the floating and romantic clothes on set. Team a flowery or lace piece with a pair of jeans to update the look and mix and match.

3. Experiment with different colors but avoid a clash. Keira often wears a single color such as her all white red carpet ensemble or her full-length purple dress. Don't be afraid to wear color but avoid a fashion mistake by keeping to one bright shade.

4. Glam up a simple outfit with accessories. Keira often puts on a simple dress or jeans top combination that she glams up with an over-sized belt or large eye-catching handbag. Get yourself some large accessories to wear over a causal base.

5. Keep your make-up simple and natural by copying Keira's use of natural base shades of brown and beige for dress down styles. Her bright red lips at the "Pirates of the Caribbean" premiere, or smoky eyes in the "Glamour" spread, couple with plainer lips or eyes so she never looks overdone. Accentuate one feature and play down the rest.
