Keira Knightley in a lacy Burberry at the WGAs: sweet or boring?

wenn22187318

Keira Knightley was not in the Isle of Wight for Benedict Cumberbatch’s wedding. She was in LA ahead of the Oscars, probably to do some last minute shilling and hand-shaking, even though I think Keira is pretty sure she’s going to lose the Best Supporting Actress race to Patricia Arquette. Keira did Jimmy Kimmel Live on Friday, and then on Saturday night, Keira was one of the few big-name celebrities to come out to the Writers Guild of America Awards. These are some photos from her red carpet appearance. I’m not a fan of this Burberry dress – she’s still stuck in the same girlish, baby-doll style she wore before her pregnancy.

Keira’s film, The Imitation Game, actually won something! TIG has been on a major losing streak as of late, but on Saturday, TIG picked up the WGA Award for adapted screenplay. Wes Anderson won original screenplay for The Grand Budapest Hotel, and there’s every belief that Wes is probably going to win his first Oscar for the screenplay too (yay!). I think it’s a big surprising that TIG won adapted screenplay – my money was on Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl adaptation (although I didn’t love her adaptation of her book). You can read more about the WGAs here.

We’re in the last days of Oscar voting – all the ballots must be in by Tuesday, February 17th. Some races are still in the air – no one has any idea of Birdman or Boyhood will win Best Picture, or whether Richard Linklater or Alejandro G. Inarritu will win Best Director. Inarritu won the DGA, by the way. Which means he’s more likely to win the Best Director Oscar.

    She’s so beautiful.

  2. manatee says:

    I love her really much and she is heavenly beautiful but sometimes she overdoes it with her pout

    • Wilma says:

      Her upper lip looks really weird and plumped up. I know it’s due to make up, but it looks plastic.

  3. GoodNamesAllTaken says:

    It’s official. Worst dressed of the century.

    ETA: Except, of course, Kim.

  4. Chantal says:

    The woman is pregnant. She should wear something she is comfortable in. I am not a fan of her pregnancy couture, but I am willing to give a pass. Save your money Keira, free clothes from designers.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      There are millions of examples of women who are pregnant and comfortable and attractive and stylish. She looks like a six year old. They make beautiful maternity clothes or a designer would happily alter something for her. She has bad taste.

      • jen2 says:

        Agree. She dresses looks like she is afraid to look like a grown up and wants to be “cute”. Comfort is great and she does not have to be slinky or wear overtight clothes, but it would be nice if she looked like an adult, not a grade schooler.

  5. kibbles says:

    I think she looks adorable. Pregnancy suits her. She is glowing and the extra weight makes her look more youthful. I like the dress. It’s cute and comfortable.

  6. Sally J. Freedman says:

    Are her lips looking bigger?

    • Eleonor says:

      That’s the only thing I can see about her.

    • friday says:

      yes. and ridiculous. if you look at old photos of her, they are relatively thin. then they’ve gone up and down over the last few years. but this is a linsey lohan trout pout.

      • Scarlet Vixen says:

        Her lips are only ‘relatively thin’ when she smiles, which is probably why she doesn’t smile very much on the red carpet. Like Victoria Beckham, she doesn’t smile widely in public because she doesn’t like the look of her smile. When I was 17 I picked up a self-conscious habit of covering my mouth with my hand when I smile when I saw a pic of myself at my HS graduation and was mortified that my entire top lip completely disappears when I grin. My lips are normally pretty full when I don’t smile.

    • Mel M says:

      I think her face has just changed a lot during this pregnancy, some women’s do. I actually thought the first pic was Brooke Sheilds.

    • Greek Chic says:

      Agree, she had thin lips.

    • platypus says:

      I think all the people saying how much older she looks since she got pregnant might have gotten to her, but she prob just stepped up her make-up. Her lips are really overdrawn here.

  7. Josephine says:

    I don’t hate the dress. She looks comfie, and that’s all that matters. Her acting, on the other hand… I have never understand how she gets work let along nominations.

  8. aenflex says:

    Loved Grand Budapest and love Wes Anderson.

  9. INeedANap says:

    some of the pregnancy weight has gone to her face, but I think it looks good! However, she is clearly self conscious about it, hence the really contoured makeup.

  10. scout says:

    Little bit of weight works beautifully with skinny ones, she looks like angelic.

  11. kri says:

    I hate that f*cking dress. But yes, gorgeous face, she is lovely.

  12. Alix says:

    The dress, while pretty, looks juvenile. I see she’s plumped up her top lip again — BIG time.

  13. Tiffany says:

    I did not know that Tilda was at the WGA’s. 😉

    I cannot be the only one to see it.

  14. Andrea says:

    Hate the dress but her face is exquisite. Love her makeup here.

  15. JW says:

    Some really silly lip comments being made here. They’ve been like that for 15 years at least for crying out loud.

  16. Angelalala says:

    A little too much Bo on that upper lip. Unless that’s where all her pregnancy weight is going? Someone call The Lancet!

  17. Isa says:

    She looks like Brooke shields in the top photo.

    I don’t see the beauty everyone else does. I just see that pout. It drives me crazy. Suck your cheeks in, push your top lip over your bottom and pout…every single time.

    She looks so much better when she smiles.

  18. amarie says:

    She looks great, and I am really happy for her. Hope her pregnancy keeps going well.

  19. Kay V says:

    KK has always been pretty, but lately she is just stunning. Hopefully she won’t be obsessed w/ her “post baby body” & will ignore petty journalist insist on making it a topic. I think the ever so slightly fuller face transforms her into an out of this world beauty. A mature, timeless, classic beauty!
