Keira Knightley rocks Miu Miu's spring prints at Olivier Awards lunch
-Posted by: SummerAngel
At yesterday's Olivier Awards lunch at the Haymarket Hotel, nominee Keira Knightley displayed her sartorial talents as she opted for a quirky print blouse-and-skirt combo from Miu Miu's Spring 2010 collection.
The actress is nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her part in The Misanthrope, but we think she deserves some major style accolades for this look, which was appropriately sophisticated (yet still demure) for the lunch. The outfit also featured the trademark cheekiness that makes Miu Miu such a loveable label: printed naked ladies gracing the blouse and a puppy print adorning the skirt. This outfit (which Knightley accessorized with a black bag, Miu Miu's black satin platforms and a messy bun) is very on-trend for the upcoming season, from the beige-coloured blouse (neutrals were all over the catwalks) to the prints, which are also a big Spring 2010 trend. Spice Girl Mel C (nominated for Best Actress in a Musical for her role in Blood Brothers) and James Earl Jones were also at the event.
And it looks like Prada has hit the nail on the head with spring dressing that starlets are going to love - during LFW, Daisy Lowe wore a bird-printed dress with a criss-cross bodice from the label (and the same Miu Miu platforms as Knightley) for the Elle Style Awards.

Keira Knightley chats to InStyle!
-Posted by: SummerAngel
Keira Knightley, Rachel Weisz, Ruth Wilson and Hayley Atwell are just some of the amazing talents nominated for the Laurence Olivier Awards (to be held on 21 March). And InStyle was at the nominees lunch yesterday…
There were more luvvies gathered in one room than at a Shakespeare convention when InStyle attended the Laurence Olivier Awards nominee lunch yesterday in London’s chic Haymarket Hotel. The annual Awards honour the best theatre shows and performances throughout the year (the swanky ceremony will be held on 21 March).
Keira Knightley (up for Best Supporting Actress for The Misanthrope) caused the biggest stir at the bash – she looked statuesque and elegant in head-to-toe Miu Miu (and yes, she’s exquisitely beautiful up close with perfect porcelain skin).
'I am a fully blown luvvie now,' she giggled to us. 'I went into doing the play with an extraordinary level of fear and to come out of it with an Olivier nomination is just beyond anything I could imagine!'
So how was it treading the boards with the gorgeous Damian Lewis as your co-star? 'He’s an absolute sweetheart!' she gushed. 'As it was my first time on stage, the whole cast, especially Damian, was so supportive and patient with me.'
But, most importantly, what will she wear to the awards ceremony? 'I’ve got no idea!' she admitted. 'Hopefully I’ll get sent a selection of lovely outfits - so that’ll be fun.'
We also bumped into friend of InStyle, gorgeous Jane Eyre and Small Island actress Ruth Wilson (also up for the Supporting Actress gong for A Streetcar Named Desire). 'I’m really excited to be nominated,' Ruth said. It was only the second professional production I’d ever done so it’s a great honour and privilege.'
Hayley Atwell stopped by to tell us that she fell off her bed when she heard she’d been nominated for her performance in A View From the Bridge. 'The producer of the show called me and I had to listen to his message about two or three times. I couldn’t believe it. I just feel very humbled by the whole thing,' she confessed.
'I’ve also worked with some of the other nominees before – like Keira and Ruth. Actually Ruth is a close friend”. So there’ll be no hair-pulling on the night if either of them win instead of you? 'No, not at all. In fact I’d be so happy if Ruth won!'
KEIRA Knightley doesn’t care what the critics say about her performances — she only trusts her father’s opinion.
The British actress — who’s currently appearing in The Misanthrope on London’s West End — insists her actor dad Will’s criticisms are “more brutal” than any magazine.
“I still haven’t read anything from the critics, but by the fact that I’m here, I’m assuming it went OK,” said Keira. “I don’t do it at all for anything. I think you have got to be very careful where you take your criticism from. It can completely throw you. It has to be someone that you know and you can trust, because then that’s helpful.
“I have a core group of people who I will absolutely listen to 100 per cent when they say something negative or positive. My father is absolutely extraordinary. I think he’s probably more brutal than any critic ever would be so I tend to go with him.”
Keira, 24, has previously admitted that people think she’s a terrible actress.
“Every time I do an interview with the English press, one of their questions is, ‘How do you feel knowing that everyone thinks you’re a sh*t actress?’” Keira, who was 2008’s second-highest-earning actress, told the March issue of Elle magazine.
“You have to be selective about the people whose advice and opinions you take,” she said.
“I know [my parents] would never tell me I was sh** because they were trying to hurt me,” she says. “It would always come from a very sincere place.”

Knightley to make West End debut
-Posted by: SummerAngel
Keira Knightley will make her stage debut in the West End later this year in a modern-day version of Moliere's comedy, The Misanthrope.
The Oscar-nominated actress, 24, will play an ambitious American film star, the love interest of a British playwright played by Band Of Brothers and Life actor Damian Lewis, who leads the cast.
Lewis, 38, plays the "misanthrope" Alceste, who is disillusioned and angry with hypocrisy and vows to reject society.
But his plans are derailed when he falls madly in love with Knightley's character, Jennifer, a darling of the social scene.
Writer Martin Crimp's updated version of the work transports the action from 17th century Paris to contemporary London.
Tara Fitzgerald, Dominic Rowan and Tim McMullan are also in the play, which opens at the Comedy Theatre on December 17 and runs until March 13.

Keira's Domestic Abuse Advert Caps and Stills
-Posted by: SummerAngel
There are now stills and caps from the domestic abuse advertisment that Keira has recorded in the gallery. You can check them out at the below links.
Keira Knightley has lent her acting skills to a very good cause...
She's heading up a new campaign against domestic violence.
The A-list actress stars in a hard-hitting short film aimed at raising awareness of physical abuse.
In the footage Keira is seen returning home to her "partner", who slaps, punches and kicks her, leaving her in a crumpled heap on the floor.
Explaining why she chose to participate in the shock tactic campaign, designed to raise money for domestic violence charity Woman's Aid, Keira said:
"While domestic violence exists in every section of society, we rarely hear about it. We may not think we know someone who has experienced domestic violence, but this does not mean that it is not happening.
"Domestic violence affects one in four women at some point in their lifetime and kills two women every week.
"Without the services provided by Women's Aid, many more women could be at risk of being killed, yet without donations the charity may not exist this time next year. Please donate £2 a month to Women's Aid to help save lives."
The motion picture is produced by Joe Wright, who directed Keira in Atonement, and launches through cinema, TV, print and online today.

'Lazy' Keira Knightley

Keira Knightley and her boyfriend Rupert Friend are "slow and lazy".
The 'Young Victoria' star has revealed he and Keira would rather spend their free time cuddled up on their sofa than going to wild parties.
The 27-year-old actor is quoted as saying: "I need to do nothing. As soon as a film has finished, I like to let it all go and be very slow and lazy. There's nothing like a good lazy day on the sofa."
Rupert recently admitted he doesn't mind being less successful than Oscar-nominated Keira - who recently celebrated her 24th birthday. ... Read More ...
Keira Knightley ridiculously mature for her age, says pal Sienna Miller
-Posted by: Quivi
The 27-year-old, who became firm friends with Knightley on the set of Dylan Thomas biopic 'The Edge Of Love', suggests the latter is deceptively boring whose idea of fun is staying in and completing a crossword.
"She's ridiculously mature for her age. I am 12 compared to her, " the Daily Express quoted Miller, as saying.
"We lived in a house in Wales together (during filming). We'd play cards, do crosswords, that kind of thing," she added.
KNIGHTLEY BORROWS, NOT BUYS
-Posted by: Quivi
KEIRA KNIGHTLEY has found a novel way to weather the global economic crisis - the actress has taken to renting designer shoes instead of buying new pairs, reports ContactMusic.
The Love Actually star is wary of spending excessively during the ongoing recession, opting instead to save money by borrowing expensive footwear. Knightley, 23, explains, "I think when I was very young and I suddenly started earning a bit of money and I could actually afford to buy shoes, I got very excited and bought a lot. I mean a lot!
"I haven't bought any in quite a while. Now I just rent them for the day. They give them to me for the day and I give them back in the evening, which is good."
Keira Knightley giggles through love scenes
-Posted by: Quivi
British actress Keira Knightley confessed that she giggled her way through the love scenes with co-star Dominic Cooper in her latest movie The Duchess.
The 24-year old actress revealed she laughed when Cooper had to act in a nappy, thesun.co.uk reports.
Said Knightley: "During the sex scene I was luckily fully clothed, but he had to wear this skin-coloured nappy. Sex scenes are never the easiest and you're meant to be very supportive of each other, but I just completely lost it. The director had to tell me, 'Pull yourself together'."

Keira gets the giggles in bed
-Posted by: SummerAngel
Keira Knightley has confessed she couldn't keep a straight face while filming sex scenes for The Duchess.
The 24-year-old actress revealed she kept getting the giggles as her co-star Dominic Cooper, 30, had to wear a nappy, The Sun reports.
Keira said: "During the sex scene I was luckily fully clothed, but he had to wear this skin-coloured nappy."
She continued: "Sex scenes are never the easiest and you're meant to be very supportive of each other, but I just completely lost it.
"The director had to tell me, 'Pull yourself together'."
Dominic said of his 'nappy': "We just laughed at it continually. It was a relaxed atmosphere. We had complete trust and faith in the director that it would be very tasteful.
"We had to just laugh our way through it all because at times it was ridiculous."
He continued: "They are certainly very intimate scenes. I sometimes can't stand them because in films sometimes they are just thrown in for no apparent reason.
"Certainly with a relationship of these two characters it was essential that we saw how close and intimate they are, having a desperate need for belonging and love."
KEIRA KNIGHTLEY - KNIGHTLEY SHRUGS OFF NUDE SCENE WITH MILLER
-Posted by: SummerAngel
Actress KEIRA KNIGHTLEY was unfazed when her THE EDGE OF LOVE co-star SIENNA MILLER stripped completely nude to film a bath scene together - insisting it's all part of her job. The stars play two lovers of poet Dylan Thomas in the 2008 period drama, and both bared their flesh for the steamy scene. But while Knightley opted to remain partially clothed for shoot, she insists she wasn't alarmed when Miller got naked before jumping into the tub. Instead, she was more concerned about the freezing temperatures of the bath water. Knightley tells Moviefone.com, "I think we're both used to doing things like that in our job. It was very soapy water, and it was a closed set and all the rest of it. And I actually had clothing on. She didn't. Well, I had something on. No, it was sort of fine. It was just a problem because the bath water got really cold."
