TIFF Party: Keira Knightley dazzles and Adam Levine slams vodka shots at the after-party for Can A Song Save Your Life?
Some stars disappoint in real life. Not so with Keira Knightley, whose light-bulb luminosity is the kind that chemical peels and potions just can’t buy (not that we’re bitter or anything). The human swan glided into King West resto-lounge Patria last night to celebrate the screening of her new film, Can A Song Save Your Life? Sporting a dreamy watercolour frock by London designer Mary Katrantzou, she joined co-star Adam Levine (the latest graduate from the Justin Timberlake School of How to Transition from Boy Bander to Serious Thespy) in an outdoor booth, where Knightley sipped a black cherry cocktail and Mr. Maroon 5 went the rock-star route: vodka shots!! Despite the slamming music (note to TIFF DJs: when in doubt, play Michael Jackson), Levine left without breaking out a single move like Jagger. Maybe next time.
