Actress Keira Knightley has been the face of Chanel for several years, so it's no surprise that she attended the house's haute couture show. Her Jane Birkin-style bangs and sultry makeup did not disappoint. To contrast with her traditional clothing and play up her blunt fringe, makeup artist Kay Montano focused on Keira's eyes for a smoky effect. (Try layering the chocolate plum shade from Chanel Quadra Eye Shadow in Mystic Eyes over Chanel Intense Eye Pencil in Ambre for the same effect.) So what do you think about Keira's new face-framing bangs? Do they play up her brown eyes and dark features, or do you prefer her in a more side-swept style?

Although the blunt bangs look very striking, it's almost a little bit TOO striking. The softer bangs suit her better.

2Those bangs are completely unnecessary.
3Side...
4Frenched completely summed it up for me. it's a little too much. plus she reminds me of Sporty Spice with her bangs like that for some reason, but I might be making that up haha. I like it side-swept.
5They look more elegant to the side.
6I'd rather her have no bangs...just not a fan of the thick bangs look. But if I had to choose, definitely to the side.
7Neither.
8Her face is so square that heavy, square bangs make everything so... square.
9Neither! Those banks are very unflattering for her, ugh!
10i think she looks cute with either, but that pesky fringe must get in her eyes all the time
11the bangs are taking over her whole face. I like the side swiped bangs better.
12The side-swept bangs are nicer and softer, but Keira definitely doesn't need bangs--she's way prettier without them.
13I like the blunt bangs here--they give her a sharper and more unusual look than the soft prettiness (not that she's not so pretty she couldn't pull anything off).
14Neither !
15Bunt looks better for me
16*Blunt
17I like the blunt. But it just makes her, uh, not look like her anymore. Maybe that's why I like it, lol.
18I like the blunt bangs on her. Then again, i have the exact same hair cut so I am biased.
I also like her without bangs at all.
19Side swept... the blunt are too harsh. She looks best with no bangs at all but then again she's soo pretty she can do anything she wants. If she dyed her hair hot pink and blue she's still look fab
20I like the side swept bangs.
21Side swept - definitely. I think we need to leave the blunt bangs for the catwalk or cartoon le femme avatars.

23not a fan of the bangs at all, but i had to choose side swept out of the two..
24Definatley side swept, I'm not a fan of short, heavy fringes. She can pull it off because she does have a square face and a high hairline but the side swept looks softer and pretty! I have the side sweep exactly like that though! LOL!
25i like her blunt bangs, though not so much in that picture. she looks so fashionista.
