Keira Knightley In Dries van Noten & Chanel Promoting ‘The Woman In Cabin 10’

It’s safe to say that not everyone was convinced by Keira Knightley’s return to the spotlight at The Woman In Cabin 10 London premiere. But she followed up with two more press junket looks. One completely unexpected, and the other entirely expected… yet with a twist.

The Unexpected

Keira in Dries Van Noten? I had to do a double take. This Fall 2025 look couldn’t be further from her usual Chanel-and-Erdem playbook, and that’s exactly why it worked. The sheer embellished top paired with a copper bubble skirt featuring a flared basque waist was rich, artistic, and full of drama. It was a refreshing shift that hinted at a new chapter for her red carpet identity. My only gripe? The shoes. They felt like an afterthought, while the rest of the look begged for something sharper. Still, this was a bold and exciting departure.

The kinda Expected

Then came the second look—you’d be forgiven for thinking it was Chanel, staying true to the faithful constant in Keira’s style story. But this clean, buttoned dress with its delicately embellished collar was actually Valentino. Still, it felt entirely in line with Keira’s signature aesthetic. Valentino has long been the third label in her regular rotation, so the choice made perfect sense. Yet just when you think the story is predictable, she adds snakeskin boots. They shouldn’t have worked with such a prim silhouette, but they injected an unexpected edge—fresh, rebellious, and a little playful. What might have been a safe Valentino moment became something genuinely memorable.
