If You're a "Fancy Clothes" Person, These 15 Outfits Will Make Your Morning

My all-time favourite celebrity look has to be a powder-blue Prada shirtdress Keira Knightley once wore. She even topped off the look with a pair of retro-style Cutler and Gross sunglasses. Four years later, I still dream of owning that exact outfit.

Knightley never experiments with "ugly" or directional trends, meaning that her looks don't date. In fact, I'd argue that she only wears "fancy" clothes (she favours dresses with collars, embroidery, nipped-in waists, delicate buttons, full skirts, frills and ribbons). Her stylist, Leith Clark, has made her entire career out of her distinctive romantic aesthetic—whether it's finding the most beautiful dresses she can for the actress or via the magazine she founded, Lula.

As the face of the Coco Mademoiselle fragrance, Keira Knightley has a wardrobe filled with beautiful Chanel Couture pieces, however, she also wears exquisite creations by the likes of Erdem, Valentino and Burberry. If you're a "fancy clothes" person, then trust us—you're going to enjoy the 15 outfits below.
