TIFF Style Guide Sponsored by Yorkdale: how to channel Keira Knightley’s quirky English sensibility
Keira Knightley has been working red carpets long enough to accumulate a few fashion flops (remember this? And this?). In the last few years, however, the starlet has zoned in on her own subtly sexy sense of style. It’s heavy on sheer details, quirky prints and, for formal occasions, spectacular Chanel and Rodarte gowns (we’re expecting good things when she hits the TIFF red carpet on Saturday for Can a Song Save Your Life?). Couture dresses aside, copying Knightley’s eclectic look isn’t as hard as it looks. We teamed up with Yorkdale Shopping Centre on a step-by-step guide to pulling it off.
