Keira's Beauty Secret is Credit Crunch Friendly

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 14 Nov 2008 01:00:00 -0800

In my opinion actress Keira Knightley always looks gorgeous. Whether she's working a smoky eyed look on the red-carpet or kicking back with bare skin and a laid back style; her face never looks overdone or caked in makeup. According to rumours, Keira's secret to a great complexion could all be down to bargain beauty brand Nivea.

Keira is renowned for her pale skin and yet we often see her gracing award ceremonies with a healthy glow. According to Look magazine it could all be a result of the British actress' penchant for Nivea Sun Touch. It's ideal to give your complexion a fresh look if you've been feeling a bit pasty recently.

For the secret to Keira's sun-kissed glow, just

How To: Keira's Sultry Smoky Eyes

BellaSugarUK — Thu, 11 Sep 2008 10:02:00 -0700

Keira Knightley looked every inch the starlet as she attended the special Vogue screening of The Duchess, in New York last night. The actress looked typically flawless in a Chanel Haute Couture satin dress and severe side swept hair. Her makeup was a pretty take on the goth glamour trend this season with softly smoky eyes and minimal blush.

Her makeup artist for the night, Katie Lee, created this stunning look using Chanel products. She says “Keira’s...Chanel Haute Couture dress was the inspiration. When I saw the beautiful diamanté detailing on the shoulders, I thought it was the perfect time to use the Chanel Quadra eyeshadow in Smoky Eye."

Beauty Glossary: Trout Pout

BellaSugarUK — Sun, 07 Sep 2008 23:00:00 -0700

With the recent news that Keira Knightley has been voted 'best pout' in a poll, beating Kylie Minogue and Victoria Beckham to the top spot, I've been thinking about the downside to plumped-up lips; cruelly dubbed the 'trout pout'.

The term was first used in reference to '90's TV actress Leslie Ash who had collagen lip implants in 2003. The procedure went horribly wrong, giving her an unmistakably swollen and misshapen mouth. The British tabloids termed it a 'trout pout' and the phrase caught on, especially as at this time Lesley was on the box regularly, starring in a series of adverts for Homebase with ex-Men Behaving Badly co-star Neil Morrissey.

Leslie told the BBC at the time that she opted to have the lip implants because she wanted "to maintain a certain image...I know I never really needed it doing in other people's eyes, and that's a great compliment." The actress has since undergone corrective surgery, but to little avail.

While collagen implants have certainly come a long way in the last five years, the risk of 'trout pout' or of any aspects of the procedure going wrong, such as having an unexpected allergic reaction, like Leslie did, are still off putting in many people's minds.

The term is now widely used by the media to refer to any star who has had noticeable implants to increase their pout, particularly when the upper lip is boosted out of proportion to the lower lip. Brittany Murphy and Saffron Burrows have both been accused of having trout pouts, while last month French actress Emmanuelle Beart appeared to have gone over the top in having her lips augmented.

Few Fab Words About Costume in The Duchess

FabSugarUK — Fri, 05 Sep 2008 02:00:54 -0700

Keira Knightley has been working her socks off over the past few weeks promoting her latest movie The Duchess. If you've missed the interviews over at Pop UK then make sure you jump over there to see what the cast had to say about sex in the movie, and the Princess Diana connection.

But what we're really interested in is the costume! We already provided you with a brief insight and a few sketches but here is what Keira Knightley and Hayley Atwell had to say on the amazing costumes designed by Michael O'Connor.

The film is out across the UK today so make sure you get out to see it.

Which of the styles is more you Keira: the football kits of Bend It Like Beckham or the period costumes of The Duchess?

KK: Well, I have no plans to go around London in eighteenth century costume! But equally not football shorts either. The costumes were completely fantastic and obviously she was a very famous fashion icon. The opportunity to work with Michael O’Connor, who is a tremendous talent, was amazing. They weren't particularly comfortable. It was very simply the fact that you need to wear a corset and can’t catch your breath, so any emotions are much more heightened. You can’t calm them down. So they were very helpful in the portrayal of character for me.

Love it or Hate it: Keira Knightley at The Duchess Premiere

FabSugarUK — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 05:00:40 -0700

Keira Knightley attended the London premiere of her latest movie The Duchess last night in London's Leicester Square. Much like the premiere of The Edge of Love where Keira backed upcoming designer Erdem, she opted for a relatively unknown designer piece. She wore a blue Alexis Mabille Fall 2008 Couture dress with Chanel jewellery and black Moschino heels. I am not a huge fan of the dress, mainly because I don't like the netting detail but what do you think? Source

Keira Knightley Has Best Pout

BellaSugarUK — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 03:00:00 -0700

British actress Keira Knightley has often been criticised for her pout; like Victoria Beckham it seems we don't like stars who don't smile. Now however, in a recent poll, Keira's lips have been voted the perfect pout.

In the poll of 3,000 women by beauty brand Blistex, Keira beat Angelina Jolie and Kylie to the accolade, while top of the worst pouts was, unsurprisingly, Leslie Ash with her famous 'trout pout'. Also amongst the 'pouts are out' brigade were Amy Winehouse and Jodie Marsh.

Keira has previously said that her pout does cause her some trouble. Apparently the director of Pride and Prejudice, Joe Wright, actually banned her from pouting on screen.

The twenty-three year old star, who has denied collagen injections to make her lips look bigger, claims she can't help pouting when she's concentrating. Just

FABTV: The Duchess

Keira Knightley stars in this Autumn's must-see costume drama The Duchess which documents the life, and more specifically marriage of Georgiana, The Duchess of Devonshire who was arguably the first, real style icon.

With her own unique style, Georgiana captured the heart of the English in the 18th century. She wore amazing wigs, gorgeous dresses and plenty of wonderful headwear including many feathers! In this featurette Keira and Hayley Atwell (Bess Foster) discuss the restrictive costume and the weight of the wigs. Also, see below for more sketches by the costume designer Michael O'Connor.

Keira Knightley is in town this week to promote her latest movie The Duchess in which she stars as the first real style icon; the Duchess of Devonshire, Georgiana. Keira went for dinner last night at Scotts in a navy blue wrap top and chinos. Whilst I essentially love her outfit, I can't quite get over her choice of footwear. She appears to be wearing heeled slip-on black mules. What do you think of her ensemble? BigPicturesPhoto.com

Sienna Miller vs. Keira Knightley - Whose Up-Do Do You Prefer?

BellaSugarUK — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 09:00:00 -0700

Last night as Pop UK and Fab UK partied with Keira Knightley, Sienna Miller and Elle magazine to celebrate The Edge of Love film, they noticed a disheveled up-do trend emerging. Ok, so they didn't actually say it in those words, but that's beauty girl talk for – "Look Keira and Sienna have remarkably similar hair styles tonight!"Keira's asymetric knot was bang on the money in terms of being prettily on-trend and I thought Sienna's messy chignon looked perfect for her bobo (boho bourgeoisie) style. It's a tough choice, but which do you prefer? Sorry, I'm not giving you a 'both' choice either this time, c'mon girls - you choose...Source

Fab Field Day: The Edge of Love London Premiere Party

FabSugarUK — Fri, 20 Jun 2008 04:00:30 -0700

Last night Pop UK and myself were lucky enough to be invited along to a VIP party hosted by Elle magazine for Sienna Miller's latest movie The Edge of Love. Both girls attended with their Mothers (Keira's actually wrote the film), other guests included Matthew Williamson (close friend of Sienna), Twiggy, KT Tunstall and Matthew Rhys.

Keira looked almost doll like in a gorgeous purple Erdem dress with Van Cleef and Arpels ring. Sienna opted for vintage Dior, a Sergio Rossi clutch and a pair of Christian Louboutins. Also, note how Sienna is in on the macho watch trend with her gold Rolex.

Keira Knightley stopped by Radio One earlier in the week to talk about her latest movie The Edge of Love which premieres in London this evening. In usual understated Keira style she stepped out with messy hair and in a High Street bargain!

Love It or Hate It? Keira's messy hair

BellaSugarUK — Wed, 18 Jun 2008 05:00:00 -0700

Keira Knightley's barnet was looking blonder and messier as she left Radio One in London yesterday. The choppy fringe and, frankly, unbrushed lengths gave her a laid back look. Like many London girls, I think messy hair is pretty much a byword for nonchalantly cool - I mean who wants to look like they've tried too hard? On the other hand it's a fine line between effortless and just plain scruffy. Do you think Keira manages to pull it off?BigPicturesPhoto.com

Love It or Hate It? Keira's messy hair

Love It - she looks cool and pretty

Hate It - she'd look better if she brushed it

Don't mind the style but I prefer her less blonde

I like the blonde colour but think it looks too scruffy here

Emma Watson is a Right (Coco Chanel) Mademoiselle

BellaSugarUK — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 07:00:00 -0700

Harry Potter actress Emma Watson is reputedly set to replace Keira Knightley as the face of Chanel's iconic perfume - Coco Mademoiselle. The Edge of Love actress has been the face of the fragrance since 2006 and her contract is due to be coming to a end this summer.

Despite being known as tomboyish Hermione - in real life Emma is turning out to be something of a glamourpuss, and has already been spotted sporting some elegant Chanel frocks at film premieres and parties. The Mail on Sunday reports: Emma has been slowly integrated into the Chanel brand. . . Once it became clear she is growing into a beautiful young woman and wears the Chanel brand so elegantly, they had to sign her up.

Emma is fresh-faced, gorgeous and seems delightfully down-to-earth - we couldn't think of a better fit. Lets hope this is one of those 'face of..' rumours that turns out to be true...

UPDATE: People.com is reporting that the rumor is “100 percent not true."

This weekend, British magazine Tatler announced their infamous Best Dressed list which has been headed by Kate Moss for the past few years. 2008 is a year of change as Moss is pipped to the top by model du jour Agyness Deyn.
