Keira Knightley et cetera 

Comments:1   Add your comment
New pictures of Keira Knightley in ads for Coco Mademoiselle are appearing today with the 22-year old actress showing off her digitally enhanced cleavage. What's the point?

Why choose someone like Knightley as your "face" if what you actually want is someone, well, a little curvier?

Nice shots and all that, but clearly beneath the bowler hat someone has been messing with photoshop. 

 

In her own words, Knightley once said "I don't have any tits, so I can't show cleavage." Fair enough, but in these ads she clearly does. As she did in the US posters for the 2004 film 'King Arthur'.

It seems the fashion industry wants it both ways. Waiflike models with curves? Is Knightley a size zero?

Personally, with or without cleavage I don't see the attraction of Knightley, and her rise to fame is baffling. She can't act and in most things she appears in it is the other people on screen that you notice. In 2005's 'Pride & Prejudice', for instance, it was Rosamund Pike playing Jane Bennet who needs no digital enhancement or acting lessons.

Knightley was entirely complicit too: "Those things certainly weren't mine. We had an interesting discussion when they said, 'We want to make them slightly larger and you'll get approval' and I was like, 'OK, fine. I honestly don't give a shit. I don't have any tits, so I can't show cleavage." Glad that's been ironed out...
