Keira Knightley first became known for playing Natalie Portman’s look-alike in 1999’s Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, and she’s since become a major star in her own right. Now a face of Chanel and a Vogue cover girl many times over, she’s graduated from the belly-baring tops she wore in the early aughts to graceful, fairylike gowns by Valentino, Elie Saab, and Erdem. Usually a fan of red lips and minimal jewelry, she prefers Victorian silhouettes with lots of lace, but she’s also not afraid to go for a plunging neckline from time to time. See her looks from the late nineties to the present.
