Keira Knightley welcomed her daughter Edie back in June of 2015, so she and her husband, James Righton, hadn’t had much alone time with each other since. But Keira finally got to dress up and have a night out with her man sans baby, even though that night out was for a work event.

In October 2016, the actress attended Harper’s Bazaar’s Women of the Year Awards with her husband James in London. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Elizabeth Hurley also attended the event.

Keira stepped out in a beautiful green chiffon dress from the Rochas Spring 2017 collection. The bodice was horizontally shirred, and the skirt flowed freely.

The actress accessorized her look with a lone statement ring and a pair of black suede Nicholas Kirkwood “Carnaby” pumps, distinguished by their sculptural lucite heel and architectural elegance.

The design reflects the signature aesthetic of British footwear designer Nicholas Kirkwood, who launched his namesake label in 2005 and became known for pushing the boundaries of shoe design with bold silhouettes and innovative materials.
