Keira Knightley in Chanel at the ‘Jack Ryan’ LA premiere: lovely or too cutesy?

FFN_RIJ_SHADOW_RECRUIT_011514_51306082

Sorry, Keira Knightley, you were not the prettiest person at the Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit premiere in LA last night. Chris Pine was the prettiest. I think he’s even wearing some subtle makeup! Which isn’t to say that Keira doesn’t look pretty. She does! Keira wore this cutesy blue and white Chanel dress for the premiere which… I don’t know, you guys. She’s a Chanel girl (she’s one of the faces of Chanel fragrances) but I kind of think this dress is wrong for the premiere. Plus, the tiny little bows are killing my soul a little bit. In a miniture version, this dress would be adorable on, say, Seraphina Affleck. Not on a grown-ass woman of 28.

So, let’s talk about Pine. He sort of shaved since his ROWR appearance at the Golden Globes – he had a full-on salt-and-pepper beard at the Globes, and now he’s working some romance-novel scruff. I’m trying to remind myself that Pine wears the Eau D’Ouchebag cologne, but I’m finding it difficult to remember that. Lord, he looks hot. I would bang that senseless. I’m also including photos of Kevin Costner and his wife (Kevin plays the James Earl Jones-type mentor in the film, for people familiar with the Jack Ryan franchise) and director/costar Kenneth Branagh.

    Yeah, he looks hot. Keira does prim and proper well, I like the look on her.

    • ZigZagZoey says:

      She dresses like Alexa Chung. I don’t really get it. It’s the “I’m a frail little girl” look. I think they always look nice, but I just don’t see what kind of guy finds that attractive. Obviously some do. Or maybe they just dress for themselves, which they should. I just think it’s slightly weird, but not awful.

    • Decloo says:

      She looks like a servant at Downton Abbey.

  2. Sharra55 says:

    Eau d’Douche or not….he is hot. Kiera is always “cutesy.” It is her thing. I think it is young for her, but she looks fine.

  3. Sullivan says:

    I love the dress. It’s not for everyone, but Kiera pulls it off.

    • Cecilia says:

      I love the dress too. Kiera definitely wears it well.

    • emmie_a says:

      She does wear it well. I sort of like it – reminds me of The Great Gatsby and Downton Abbey

    • Mitch Buchanan Rocks! says:

      She really rocks that frock though – it looks like Kate Middleton came over and did her eye makeup.

    • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

      I like the dress for a bridesmaids’ luncheon or some daytime event. I’m not sure it’s appropriate for a premiere, though.

      • LadySlippers says:

        I agree GoodNames. Gorgeous dress for a daytime function but premiere’s need a bit more glamour.

        (They should have invited us — my calendar was free. We could have added that much needed pizazz.)

      • GoodNamesAllTaken says:

        Our invitations must have been lost in the mail.

    • Pandy says:

      I agree. She makes it look so good I’m sorry I can’t wear it. 🙁

  4. Keira’s dress looks like a reverse sailor outfit…not a good look.

    • QQ says:

      At.all!!

      Also tho is it me or her sole trailer showings have been of hollering “Jaaaaaccckk” “Jaaack?” As though she is sucking on candy at the same time? Like there are no lines for her

    • Secret Squirrel says:

      This isn’t a style of dress I find attractive on anyone. There is too much material for Keira’s small frame and the bows are just too much cutesy…

      Chris Pine doesn’t float my boat, but that suit is very nice on him.

  5. pretty says:

    kevin costner is still soooo hot.

  6. PunkyMomma says:

    I don’t care for the dress. All she needs is a sun bonnet and Kiera can resurrect Little House on the Prairie.

  7. Maggi says:

    The dress is amazing on her. Never found Chris Pine attractive until now. He looks hot! Like incredibly incredibly hot. It’s the suit and the way he’s wearing the hell out of it. The suit looks like Tom Ford, so sexy.

    • Decloo says:

      I’ve mentioned this before and don’t want to sound like a broken record, but the man’s head is just HUGE. It’s just HUGE. Am I the only one who thinks this?

      • FLORC says:

        Lots of actors are said to have proprtionally larger heads to bodies than average. It is said to look better on a screen.
        With that said he looks like he’d be a really fun toss with no complications.
        Just 100% manly man in a nice suit.

      • Ally8 says:

        @Decloo, From the eyebrows down, he is gorgeous. But he does have a distracting, seven-finger forehead. I need a picture of him next to Tyra Banks to compare.

        He also has great clean-cut American charisma à la Harrison Ford, which is rare in today’s young male leads, who are mostly bland beefcake (with disappointing box office to match). I’m actually gonna pay to see this Jack Ryan thing at the movie theater.

        He does need a new “getting punched” expression, though.

      • Pandy says:

        It is a melon. Noticeable for sure.

      • LAK says:

        OMG…….totally!!! CAn’t look at him without seeing the BIG, BIG head.

        FLORC – very true. It kills any jones i have for most actors. Askers is the only one i can think of in recent times who has a tiny head in proportion to his body. And that’s before you factor in their actual height. midgets! the lot of them.

  8. Mia4S says:

    I believe Chris is about to film Z for Zachariah with Chiwetel Ejiofor. Which is post-apocalyptic…which means lack of razors…which means facial scruff! Woo-hoo! 😉

  9. Jac says:

    If the dress was shorter I think it would make a world of difference, as is its not terrible but it isn’t doing her any favors either.

  10. Applapoom says:

    She looks good IMO. She can pull it off. At least her t*ts aren’t hanging out

  11. Dawn says:

    Is that Retro Channel? At any rate I love that look. She always exudes nothing but class in my opinion.

  12. mimi says:

    I love Keira’s dress and she looks amazing in it. She has the right body type for it.

  13. Anoninga says:

    Am I the only person that finds the body language between Kevin and his wife a little odd? They look so uncomfortable with one another.

  14. cynicalsmirk says:

    Not my favourite dress on Kiera, but she looks good in anything. Clothes just look fabulous on her.

  15. Patricia says:

    She looks like she’s ready to be in a scene from Downton Abby in the current season, which takes place in the 20s. Only, if one of the girls on Downton wore it they would manage to use accessories and give it at least a little flare. Yaaaaaaawn.

  16. Jackson says:

    That dress looks like it came out of a Chadwicks catalog, circa 1993. Note really hating on it though. I used to love me some Chadwicks long dresses.

  17. harpreet says:

    I see Anna from Downton in that dress…….maybe if it was in a maroon it would work, and less bows.

  18. Kaye says:

    Keira knows what suits her and she wears the hell out of it.

  19. johnnybadboytapia says:

    hot damn Kevin Costner is Back!!!

  20. Samtha says:

    I can’t get past Chris Pines’ fake lips to find him attractive.

    Keira looks lovely. I don’t see how the dress is age inappropriate at all?

  21. Hautie says:

    I suspect it just killed Kevin Costner to know, that he is not the young hot guy anymore. He is now the old mentor guy from now on, in the movies. You just know Costner wanted to be Jack Ryan when he got the script!

    If rumors can be believed… his wife deserves hazard pay for all the crap she puts up with off ole’ Kevin.

    And as much as Chris Pine works… with really big budget films. He really has not happen yet. He is a nice looking man. But he is still waiting for that “big” hit, to make his a house hold name.

  22. yolo112 says:

    There was only one time I ever found Keira to be attractive at ALL….and I think it was when she wore some super light, whispy gown and had perfect, light make up. Her eyes look reedic with all that dark shadow…kinda kills the innocent look of that classic sailor dress. Her shoes are pretty fug too..lol..

  23. FLORC says:

    Kiera has a nack for dressing fugly, though I think she’s lovely.

    I will carry a torch for Chris Pine like Kaiser and CB love Cumby.
    When he grows out the scruff for a future role he’ll be even more hot. I do a big subconscience lip bit at his photo. Umf!

  24. kibbles says:

    I like this dress. I’d take this look any day over these celebrities who love to show their ass and snatch in see through “dresses”. I think Keira looks classy and intelligent here. Nothing wrong with that! I’d totally wear this dress to work or to a social event.

  25. Jessica says:

    Chris Pine really is doing it for me lately. Man can wear a suit. I definitely like him with scruff, though, I’m not sold on the no-scruff thing for him.

  26. Maya Dragunova says:

    Chris is hawt! So hot in these pictures you have posted. Blue eyes and scruff has become my thing lately.
