One thing that will hit you when you spot Keira Knightley on the red carpet is the realization that her dress is so whimsical!
Keira Knightley stuns in a white lace and tulle dress with pink heels at a red carpet event, seamlessly blending Victorian elegance with modern whimsy.
Known for her ethereal style, Keira consistently dazzles in tulles, organzas, florals, and laces. Here’s a review of some of her most fabulous outfits that showcase her unique fashion sense.
1. Rodarte Tulle Dress
The wealthy British actress doesn’t believe in wasting a good dress. She wore this dainty tulle frock with see-through details from Rodarte in 2008 and again on her wedding day in 2013.

Not related to her lookalike Natalie Portman, she wore the dress a third time later that year for an event in London.

2. White Chanel Princess Dress
This dress is everything we have ever dreamed of in a white dress — just the right amount of embellishment, tulle, and ruching.

It satiates our love for princess-like garments without actually making our adult selves cringe.

3. Valentino Dress and Red Head Wreath
The actress outshone the model who wore this on the Valentino RTW 2012 runway. She accessorized with a red floral head wreath, which made a striking effect!

5. Valentino Tulle Gown
The Valentino aesthetic definitely fits the actress, so it’s no surprise that she’s sporting yet another one from this designer powerhouse. It’s another gauzy tulle number, but it boasts beige and gold elements.
