Keira Christina Knightley (play /ˌkɪərə ˈnaɪtli/; born 26 March 1985) is an English actress and model. She began acting as a child and came to international notice in 2002 after co-starring in the film Bend It Like Beckham. From 2003 her appearances in the Pirates of the Caribbean film series took her to much greater prominence. Knightley has appeared in several Hollywood films and earned nominations for the Academy Award for Best Actress and Golden Globe Award for Best Actress for her role as Elizabeth Bennet in Joe Wright's 2005 adaptation of Jane Austen's novel Pride and Prejudice. Two years later she again was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, as well as the BAFTA Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role for her performance in Atonement. In 2008, Forbes claimed Knightley to be the second highest paid actress in Hollywood, having reportedly earned $32 million in 2007, making her the only non-American on the list of highest paid actresses.

Keira Knightley seen on Sep 02 2011 in Venice, Italy. Keira Knightley looked stunning as she stepped out for a photo call for her new film A Dangerous Method that was held at the Palazzo del Cinema in Venice, Italy on September 2, donning a eye-catching Mary Katrantzou Fall 2011 patterned dress and nude platform pumps. I don't know about you, but I am loving her sharp bob and fierce pout. For two uniquely printed dresses here on CoutureCandy, check out Meghan Los Angeles' Akubi Dress in Blue and Desigual's Vest Yaquelina Dress in Negro. From there, accessorize with a bold cocktail ring like Keira did, like Femme Metale Jewlery's Crowned Gem Ring in Silver. Diane von Furstenberg's Davis Shoe in Pewter are a great alternative to the been-there, worn-that nude platform. Thoughts on Keira's 'fit here, everyone? For those of you who are fans of the British actress, you may be excited to hear that she's in the running to star in a new retelling of "Romeo and Juliet." The project is based on Rebecca Serle's as-yet-unpublished first novel "When You Were Mine," a twist on the classic Shakespeare tome. According to New York Magazine, "Hollywood is so hot for it, the odds are now actually good that it will become a finished feature film even before it hits booksellers. What’s more, Fox 2000 Pictures is in discussions with Keira Knightley about starring." Also in the running to star? Lily Collins. What do you think - would you be interested in this re-telling of the tale if Keira was to star?
