I just found some new Chanel ads starring Keira Knightley, and if she isn't the perfect modern-day face of Chanel, I don't know who would do it better!
I know that you're split on whether she's a more fitting model for Coco Mademoiselle than Kate Moss was, but you've got to admit, the girl looks amazing here. I love the soft pink lip, which makes her look very appropriate for this legendary design house, n'est-ce pas?
If the print ads inspire you, just wait—there's more coming soon! Iconique reports:
Keira Knightley will star as Coco Mademoiselle in a new PR movie for the Chanel perfume. The British actress, dressed in a red chiffon dress by Karl Lagerfeld, will play a mysterious star in a glamorous movie directed by Joe Wright.
The "PR movie" (read: advertisement that will probably be beautiful nonetheless) is due in September. What do you think of Keira here—is it hats off to her? (Sorry, couldn't resist.)

1not a fan

3Ugh - I dunno. I just can't warm up to her.
4Aw! I love her! She's so great! I agree, Bella, she looks positively radiant in these pictures! Completely timeless, like Chanel. I love Chanel ads..they're so addictive. I love the one for Rouge Allure...mmm....
5It doesn't seem very feminine to me (other than the red dress pic), perhaps it's part of the "story"? I like Keira as an actress, but not so sure about as a person, and as a model - I think she needs to eat something! So, CoCo Mademoiselle Chanel doesn't seem very appealing to me according to this.
6Freakin gorgeous. I think she fits my hero's brand fabulously!
7What's with this throwback to the nineties I keep seeing? I don't like it.
A red dress doesn't seem very fitting for Coco Mademoiselle.
8she could fit it but she looks like a player or something not flattering.
9I think she looks absolutely fantastic. I love the mild genderbending - it's fun, but still Chanel classy.
10Keira Knightly is stunning, but she just doesn't seem "Chanel" to me. I thought Vanessa Paradis (gf of Johny Depp) was a much better model for them.
11dont like them!
12I love the ads. Keira represents the modern day Chanel. I think it's a perfect match.
13I don't think it's the most outstanding ad I've ever seen, but she lovely in it. She looks very nice here...why does she looks so scummy and dirty in real life? Is it some sort of rebellion? Or pure laziness? Just asking. =)
14I quite like it actually!
15Shes sooo gorgeous. I love the ads
16i dun like her much
17i agree she was a good choice for chanel, and yes i think its a hats off to her lol, but i still think i need to warm to her abit more
18Maybe I'm wrong, but she just doesn't seem like a Chanel girl. I've seen too many downtime pics of her where she's out in public looking a mess. To me, Chanel is a lifesytle, and Kiera just doesn't live it (not that Kate Moss did, either...)
19She looks like a man in these pictures...
20I like it. She's so skinny, but these photos minimize her lanky-ness, I think.
21i think she's beautiful!
22I think she's the right choice to endorse that product. She has a classic beauty and Chanel epitomizes "classic beauty".
23that's a bad pic of her, very tacky, and I hate her clothes!
24She's gorgeous in the first pic.
25That first pic reminds me of the guy from Clockwork Orange. :chills:
26nice pics, but what ever happend to supermodels??? why are celebs taking over in every ad? i'm not a fan.
27I actually don't like her in the ad...she looks like se accidentally popped into the photo shoot and people were too polite to make her leave
28haha, i was just thinking that she looks like Alex from A Clockwork Orange.
29but the Kubrickness aside, she's a good fit for Chanel since she's not in-your-face sexy and that's what Chanel is all about: understated chic
by the way, i've been wearing Coco Mademoiselle for about 6 years and even though i've tried other fragrances it's still my favorite and i get compliments ALL the time
the ads are shot perfectly but im not sure about keira.. i lov her but she seems off balanced a little bit.. but chanel does veer left and isnt in your face.im just not sure..
30I think she's looks nice but it's really annoying that celebs are taking over everything...(modelling, clothes designing etc.)
31I was just thinking what GREAT makeup she's wearing and how great she looks.
32definitely not the most flattering pictures of keira knightly. she looks sort of manly. which is weird for a perfume called mademoiselle.
33its been over done. she look like a guy
34I love her. Nice way to promote "Atonement" too, even Joe Wright is in one of the ads with her. Haha. Still, I can't wait to watch that movie.
35i don't really dig the pictures that much, but i think they suit the perfume. this is coco madamoiselle, not no 5 or chance.
36It sucks
37she has a classic beauty! love her!
38Coco Mademoiselle is one of my favorite fragrances, and she looks great, i can't wait to see the adds!
39She always poses with her mouth slightly open. It annoys me so much. I personally think she's unattractive and waayyyyy too skinny.
40She's amazing and perfect... beautiful... and even if people consider her as skinny, she is fit and really looking nice.
41I agree with olliecat.
42She is beautiful, but boy is she fat!
43She has no boobs and no butt. What happened to all the "real" women, with actual shapes?
