It really feels like Keira Knightley has gotten more feminist over the past few years especially. I think giving birth to a daughter made Keira want to get louder and angrier about the state of women?s rights in general. I like Nu Keira, honestly. She?s more interesting, even if she sometimes comes across as a bit judgy towards royal women. Anyway, Keira is promoting Colette and The Nutcracker (a Disney film, lol), so she appeared on The Ellen Show this week. Ellen and Keira ended up talking about what Disney movies are banned for feminist reasons in the Knightley-Righton household.
Keira Knightley is currently making the rounds to promote Walt Disney Pictures upcoming movie The Nutcracker and the Four Realms (in theaters Nov. 2). But as the 33-year-old actress confessed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Tuesday, shes not a fan of every movie the studio has produced, particularly when it involves Disney Princesses who dont uphold her feminist values.
As a result, the actress has forbidden her 3-year-old daughter, Edie Knightley Righton, from watching certain movies. Cinderella, released in 1950, is banned, Knightley said, because she waits around for a rich guy to rescue her. Dont! Rescue yourself. Obviously! And this is the one that Im quite annoyed about because I really like the film, but Little Mermaid [is banned, too]. I mean, the songs are great, but do not give your voice up for a man. Hello! But the problem with The Little Mermaid is I love The Little Mermaid! That ones a little tricky?but Im keeping to it.
Not all Disney movies are off-limits. Finding Dory is a big favorite in our house, Knightley told Ellen DeGeneres, who voiced the forgetful blue tang. Frozen is huge and Moana is totally fine?. ?
Presumably, The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is totally fine. Knightley stars in the movie as the Sugar Plum Fairy, and with her cotton candy hair, I look a bit like a psychotic cake, dont I? To get into character, Knightley was covered head-to-toe in glitter. We shot it almost two years ago and I think Ive still got glitter in my house. Its impossible to get off. Its a disaster, and I was covered in it for about four months while we were making the film, she said. Its a disaster. It is very definitely now in my contract that I wont work with glitter. Absolutely not!
[From E! News]
Eh. I?m from the generation which was ?too old? to watch the revitalized Disney studio?s big push in the ?90s, yet too young for the classics like Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty. I mean, I still watched the ?classic Disney? films, and Sleeping Beauty was always my favorite. Cinderella too. I always hated Snow White though? I mean, those films were of their time and of course the ?message? of those stories was always screwed up. But? I don?t know, do you think that sometimes gasp feminist moms take it too far? Cinderella is a classic! As for The Little Mermaid? yeah, again, it?s problematic. But it?s another classic. I feel like Keira?s worried that if she ever did show those ?problematic? films to her daughter, Edie would just want to watch them constantly and it?s more about Keira?s annoyance than anything else.

Here are some photos of Keira Knightley at Thursday night?s premiere of Colette, as part of the BFI London Film Festival. Keira wore this rather interesting Chanel gown? or is it a two-piece? The thing about this is that I feel like either part would have made a stunning dress, but put together? it sort of looks off-kilter a little bit? Like, if this was a simple white gown entirely using that skirt material, it would have been lovely. If the beaded top was a cocktail dress, it would have been incredible. Even putting the top with a pair of silver-grey silk trousers would have been awesome. Still, she does look good here.
Meanwhile, as we covered previously, Keira contributed an essay for a feminist essay collection called Feminists Don?t Wear Pink (And Other Lies). Keira?s essay was all about the beauty standards for women, and how it?s awful that we, as a society, expect new mothers to look done-up with hair and makeup right after giving birth. Keira name-checked the Duchess of Cambridge for her happy and breezy photocall with Princess Charlotte just seven hours after giving birth. Well, ?palace sources? had some sh-t to say to Us Weekly:
?Keira is obviously entitled to her own opinion, but it was very much based on her own experiences and not of Kate?s. Not every mother feels the same way,? the Palace source told Us. ?Keira?s comments were simply for attention and they weren?t justified.?
The source added that Kate was happy to have her her picture on the Lido Wing steps and pointed out, ?she wouldn?t have done the photo call a second and third time if she was uncomfortable.? Though Kate managed to look flawless after giving birth, she has never claimed being a mother is easy. ?Kate has spoken out about the struggles of parenthood,? the source noted.
[From Us Weekly]
Honestly, I doubt Keira is even really on Kate?s radar. Palace sources might have sniffed ?Keira?s comments were simply for attention? but I doubt Kate really cares one way or the other. And for what it?s worth, Keira?s comments weren?t simply for attention she had a point about society and mommyshaming and all of that, she just made her point poorly. Incidentally, at this premiere, Keira was asked about the essay, and she said this:
?I think it?s very interesting that certain parts of the media have, I don?t want to say purposefully, but let?s just say misrepresented my meaning and exactly what I said. So I would suggest to those people in the media that they re-read the entirety of the essay and not just take one bit out of it because the comments that I made are completely about our culture that silences women?s truths and forces us all to hide and I absolutely did not shame anybody in any way, in fact quite the opposite. So I would say to everybody, there is a wonderful book out at the moment, it?s called Feminists Don?t Wear Pink (And Other Lies) and I suggest if you want to know about this then you should actually read the essay and all the others in the book and the wonderful thing is that all the proceeds go to Girl Up which is a phenomenal UN foundation which gives money to organisations that are supporting girls? education, girls? safety and girls? leadership in developing countries.?
[Via The Independent]
Well, it?s more complicated than that too! It?s not black and white on either side. Keira shouldn?t just dismiss, out of hand, the idea that she ?shamed? other women, because some women did feel like she was judging and perhaps even shaming them for having completely different birth experiences. Oh, well. At least she got people talking about the book.

Keira Knightley is done with all of this nonsense. Keira wrote an essay called ?The Weaker Sex,? which is featured in the new essay collection Feminists Dont Wear Pink (And Other Lies). In her essay, Keira gets REAL (for-real) about childbirth and how crazy it is and she uses very visceral, descriptive language which honestly made me queasy (but I get easily nauseous at that stuff, it?s not a judgment on Keira or childbirth). Keira?s point is that childbirth is a violent, warlike experience and that every woman who gives birth knows how crazy it really is, and how women are infinitely stronger (physically and emotionally). The part that?s getting the most attention is when Keira goes off on the idea that women should look perfect or presentable or photo-ready just after giving birth. And Keira cites the Duchess of Cambridge, who stepped out seven hours after giving birth to Prince Charlotte, one day after Keira gave birth to her daughter Edie (in 2015).
We stand and watch the TV screen. She [Middleton] was out of hospital seven hours later with her face made up and high heels on. The face the world wants to see.
Hide. Hide our pain, our bodies splitting, our breasts leaking, our hormones raging. Look beautiful. Look stylish, dont show your battleground, Kate. Seven hours after your fight with life and death, seven hours after your body breaks open, and bloody, screaming life comes out. Dont show. Dont tell. Stand there with your girl and be shot by a pack of male photographers.
[From Keira Knightley?s essay ?The Weaker Sex,? via Refinery29]
Many sites are running this as ?Keira slams Duchess Kate,? or ?Keira Hates Photo-Ready Kate? or something. There?s a nuance to it though, right? While I think Keira is perhaps a bit critical of Kate?s choice or was it a choice? to do the photo-op with Charlotte seven hours after giving birth, I think Keira?s bigger point is that WE EXPECT IT. People expect new mothers to look great and fresh and photo-ready. Keira is criticizing society for the most part, and Kate only partially. Plus, it?s not like Kate could flat-out refuse to do those photos standing there with her newborn babies literally counts as work for her, and a big part of her job is having babies. Still, I completely believe that Keira?s point was that men dictate the culture of everything, and men don?t want to see or discuss the viscera of childbirth, so they only promote these sanitized images of women like Kate.
(Plus, I always thought that Kate did the photocall with Charlotte so quickly because Charlotte?s birth was so relatively fast and easy and because Kate felt really good afterwards. Reportedly, William and others tried to talk her out of leaving so soon but she insisted.)

Colette gets released September 21st, and Keira Knightley is making the most out of her promotional tour. She promoted the crap out of the film in Toronto, at TIFF, then she went to New York straight from Toronto to hustle for the film. Then by Friday, she was in LA to attend the third premiere there the third premiere in a week?s time. I guess this coming week will be all about the European promotional tour.
Keira took a page from GASP! Blake Lively?s book for her whirlwind week of promotion. She made it into a fashion show, complete with wildly different couture looks. Unlike Blake though, I?m pretty sure Keira works with a stylist and besides that, Keira has a long-standing contract with Chanel and she often wears Chanel to her biggest events. What I?ve always liked about Keira is that she doesn?t stay exclusive to one designer, even with her contract. She wore Chanel to the TIFF premiere, and she wore Chanel to the LA premiere, but she?s been wearing other designers over the past week. These photos are from the LA premiere, and her Chanel was a white, feathered cocktail dress. It?s a pretty typical Chanel. I would have loved to see something else here, but whatever.
Incidentally, I saw some comments suggesting that Keira looks ?different? and/or ?worked on.? You guys know I love a good game of What Did This Actress Do To Her Face, but in Keira?s case, I?m really not seeing it? She had a baby a few years ago and she?s carrying a slight bit of added weight ever since her pregnancy, both of which (the pregnancy and the weight) changed her face a bit. Plus, she?s ageing like everybody else. Oh, and her makeup isn?t the best for this tour. All of that combined, I guess.
Here she is in Alexander McQueen at the New York screening. I?m okay with this. I love the fabric and print, and I love the dreamy, romantic quality of the dress. If I could change anything, I would edit out the turtleneck it gives a romantic dress a ?prissy? feel.
Here?s Keira outside The Late Show in NYC. This ensemble is Valentino. I love the top and I could work with the pants, but they seem odd together, right?

Here are some more photos of Keira Knightley in Toronto earlier this week, promoting her latest film Colette. Colette is the true story of Sidonie-Gabrielle Colette, the famous French writer of Gigi, among other works. It?s the story of her first marriage, to a celebrity author played by Dominic West. Keira was all over TIFF promoting the film, and then she went straight to New York to hustle some more. That?s why she appeared on Good Morning America?s new ?GMA Day? talk show with Michael Strahan. As it turns out, Michael Strahan is some kind of Keira Knightley super-fan. He told her that he used to get pumped up for football games by watching Love Actually. I don?t think she believed him, but he was truly devastated a little bit when she said that she?s only seen Love Actually ONCE.
She tells them that she only saw Love Actually when it first came out, which is something a lot of actors usually say that they don?t like watching themselves and they hate to sit through their own movies. But really, Keira isn?t even in it that much! I can?t believe she hasn?t EVER watched at least part of it in the fifteen Christmases since it was released!! LOVE ACTUALLY IS A NEW CLASSIC.
And here?s the trailer for Colette. This looks like an interesting film, although if I?m going to pinpoint the weakest part just from the trailer, I?d say that Dominic West seems rather uneven. Keira looks great though.

Keira Knightley covers the new issue of Variety to promote Colette, a film adaptation of the popular book, which will premiere at this year?s Sundance Film Festival. Keira has been lower-key ever since she gave birth to her daughter, although to be fair? Keira has been low-key for years. She met the right guy, got married, had a baby and seems to breeze through her work on stage and screen with ease. She has it all figured out! So I was slightly surprised that Keira was so no-nonsense about how she answered a lot of Variety?s questions. She used to insist on privacy at every level, but she was downright chatty and opinionated with Variety. Some highlights:
Why she wanted to play Colette: ?It?s wonderful to play inspiring women and to get their stories and their voices out there. Within her writing, Colette was questioning the idea of gender and the idea of what was naturally feminine as opposed to society?s take on being feminine. The 1890s in France, the belle poque, is interesting to look back on because there was a lot of sexual freedom. Colette had female lovers and had what I suppose we would call a transgender lover. She felt that it was her right to experience pleasure and to give pleasure. That?s still a revolutionary idea for women.?
Colette in the #MeToo era and modern-day scripts: ?I don?t think it?s a surprise that it managed to get funding in the last few years when it had never managed to get funding before. Women?s stories are suddenly viewed as important…With the rise of Netflix and Amazon we?re seeing some strong female characters and female stories on streaming services. I don?t know about films as much. I don?t really do films set in the modern day because the female characters nearly always get raped. I always find something distasteful in the way women are portrayed, whereas I?ve always found very inspiring characters offered to me in historical pieces. There?s been some improvement. I?m suddenly being sent scripts with present-day women who aren?t raped in the first five pages and aren?t simply there to be the loving girlfriend or wife.
Whether she?s ever been assaulted or abused at work: ?I?m fortunate that I?ve never been sexually abused professionally or harassed on a film set, but in my personal life, when I?ve been in bars, I can count four times when I?ve been what I?d say was assaulted in a minor way. I think everyone has battled their fair share of monsters. It?s not just actresses. It?s teachers; it?s lawyers. I?m not talking about rape, but I?m talking about the people who had been grabbed in pubs or their breasts had been fondled by somebody they didn?t know or they?d had someone shove a hand up their skirt. For too long, you really did go, ?Oh, this is just normal.? It?s terrifying that was our response. It must have been awful for all of those brave women who have come forward and spoken publicly about their experiences. There?s been a lot of pain and a lot of suffering.?
The films she made with the Weinstein Company: ?My experience with Harvey Weinstein was always very professional. He was very good on the films we made. I was aware of his reputation of being a bully. He was famous for phoning people in the middle of the night and screaming at them. He didn?t do that to me, and he certainly never asked me for massages or anything like that. I wasn?t aware of any allegations or rape or sexual assault against him. For the first time people are sharing their stories. People have been absolutely terrified to talk about it and were scared of retribution, so I don?t think everybody knew the extent of what was going on.
Back to work after giving birth to her daughter: ?It?s been busy. I took a year off when I was pregnant and after I had my kid. It was interesting, because when you have a child it?s amazing and fulfilling, but you feel like your identity can in some way be subsumed by being a mother. I had a real feeling of needing to feel like I am still me, so I attached myself to an awful lot of projects, and I got to the last one, which was actually ?Colette,? and realized I was absolutely knackered, so I?ve taken the last six months off? I was the daughter of a working mother, and I know how important it was to me and my sense of self to see my mom working. I want my daughter to see that I?m doing something that I love. I want her to know that whatever field she chooses, she can have a kid and she can still pursue a career.
[From Variety]
It?s so refreshing to hear a celebrity woman talking about how important it is to her that her daughter SEES her working, that she sees that Keira works for a living, and works because she loves it. So many celebrity moms feed into the narrative that stay-at-home mothering is the best way to parent when really, few moms even have that choice. And in some cases, like Keira, women want to go back to work. As for what she says about Weinstein? I believe her. I believe she didn?t know. I also think she?s disturbingly right about how many fictional rapes there are in movies and television nowadays. Ugh.

Man, remember when Benedict Cumberbatch arrived at the London Evening Standard Theatre Awards with Sophie Hunter in 2014? It was literally one of our biggest stories of all time. Memories? sigh. Anyway, last night was the annual London Evening Standard Theatre Awards and there were some good people there, and some bad fashion. I was going to make Cate Blanchett the lead here because she?s Cate Blanchett and whatever you think of her, we always enjoy talking about her fashion choices. But then I saw the photos of Keira Knightley. I?m really sorry to everyone, but Keira is more noteworthy because LOOK AT THIS MESS. Keira wore Valentino – she?s a longtime Valentino fan and she often chooses Valentino for her biggest red carpets. And last night, the House of Valentino made her look like she wore her 4-H ribbons on her sleeves. Beyond the ill-advised ribbons, the rest of the dress sucks too – I would love it if Keira stopped wearing neutrals.
Here?s Cate Blanchett in Alexander McQueen Resort 2018. I get that ?it?s McQueen? and that means we?re automatically supposed to find it challenging and enchanting, but this is bad. I actually like/love the top half – that part IS gorgeous and enchanting. But the skirt absolutely ruins it. It looks like a cheap satin dust ruffle got repurposed.
Ruth Negga in Valentino. Beautiful color, and Ruth is a beautiful woman. The best I can say about this is that it looks comfortable. It?s just a high-fashion sack.
Poppy Delevingne in Prada. The feathers sort of save this from looking like a nightgown. But it?s still not great.
Zendaya in ombre Elie Saab Couture. I usually don?t like ombre (in clothing or hair), but I?m digging this. She looks gorgeous.

Other outlets are running this story like Keira Knightley is the second coming of the Duchess of Wiglets. But is that the truth? Keira did a wonderful little interview with InStyle UK about beauty, hair, makeup and skincare ? go here to read the full piece. She ended up saying that she had damaged her hair so much because of repeated dye jobs, and that ?for the past five years I?ve used wigs, which is the greatest thing that?s ever happened to my hair.? I think she?s saying that she wears wigs for film jobs, not in life. Keira isn?t wandering around red carpets wearing wigs, is she? Hm. Here are some highlights from the interview:
British versus American beauty-maintenance: ?I think we Brits are very low-maintenance. For good or bad, you rarely walk around New York or LA and see women as grungy as you do in London. In the US they always have their hair and nails done, which isn?t big culturally in England. I am not a sleek person in any way. When I look sleek, I feel like I?m pretending.?
Her makeup style as a teenager: ?I wore smudgy black eyeliner. And I didn?t do anything with my skin until I started getting acne, at which point I did everything possible to get rid of it. I tried a million products, but none of them worked. I had bad skin up until I was 25. I later learned that it was more about diet and hormonal changes.?
How her routine has changed now that she?s had a baby: ?I have naturally crazy, curly hair, and since I?ve had the baby it?s become 10 times thicker. So now I?ve been finding quite a lot of dreadlocks. Tangle Teezer, 10.60, is the only thing that works for detangling my dreadlocks?.My new approach is, ?Do what you can remember, and don?t worry about it too much.??
Hair loss: ?I have dyed my hair virtually every colour imaginable for different films. It got so bad that my hair literally began to fall out of my head! So for the past five years I?ve used wigs, which is the greatest thing that?s ever happened to my hair.?
The best beauty advice: ?I was told very early on that if a make-up artist tries to take your eyebrows off, that means he or she is absolute s***.?
[From InStyle UK]
Keira is like Helena Bonham Carter, in that I have a serious case of envy for their naturally thick, wavy/curly hair. I would love to know what that?s like just for a day. While I love my hair, it can?t take a curl. Ever. So I?ve never had the dreadlock problem. I?ve also never dyed my hair for any reason other than masking the grey. I probably do dye my hair too much, but I rationalize by thinking, ?Well, I?m doing it darker, so it?s not so bad.? You know what I mean? I?m not bleaching it, therefore my hair will hopefully hold up. And yes, I do think Keira is talking about wearing wigs for films, not in life. She?s not Duchess Kate!

Elle Magazine (US) is celebrating their 30-year anniversary, and they celebrated by giving 30-year-old actress Keira Knightley multiple covers for the September issue. The styling is so wacky on these covers, but I enjoy it because Keira rarely agrees to these kinds of over-the-top editorial/makeup/hair choices. As for what Keira is promoting in general: she?s in Everest, which comes out in September, plus she will be making her Broadway debut in Thrse Raquin this fall. Some highlights from Elle:
Her 30th birthday celebration: “I was heavily pregnant, I couldn’t drink?what is the point of having a thirtieth birthday if I couldn’t get phenomenally drunk? But my husband took over, arranged a lovely lunch at one of my favorite restaurants, 20 of us, and they were all being so sweet, like, ‘Look, you can have a great time and be sober!’ And it’s fine apart from the fact that they started drinking at about one. Then they came back to our house?they’d covered it in balloons that said my name and happy birthday and all that? and they got completely obliterated. They were there until two or three in the morning, absolutely drunk, and I was there eight months pregnant, completely sober. So it was lovely, but it wasn’t what I’d imagined a thirtieth birthday was going to be.”
Her 20s were crappy: ?My twenties were pretty crap?My career was absolutely amazing; in fact, I don?t think my career will ever get better than it was in my late teens, early twenties. But as a person, you?re changing so much and you?re trying to figure stuff out. Some people go wild and have a great time and throw caution to the wind, and I was the complete opposite. I was very shy. It took me a lot of years to try and stop pleasing a lot of people and allow myself to have fun. It?s the difficult thing of getting out of your own head. To stop going, ?Oh, there?s something I should be doing, there?s a way I should be behaving, I should be dressing?.? All of those shoulds, you can drown in them.?
She?s been in therapy: ?Oh, f–k, yeah! I?ve totally done therapy. I highly recommend it. I don’t do it at the moment. But in my early twenties when I found everything completely overwhelming, 100 percent, I did it! Are you kidding? I think when you’re in those moments in your life, and you want to get through them?you have to do whatever it is to help you get over it. You have to give it a go. Try anything that might help.”
Becoming a mum: “The love thing is astonishing. It’s a very primal, primal love. That’s quite extraordinary. And the ability to have no sleep and continue going. It’s not pleasant?I never thought that I could actually do it for the amount of time that I’ve done it. Also, I have to say, as a woman, you hate certain parts of your body. You go through those periods where you look in the mirror and you think, Oh, if only I had different legs or arms or whatever. You go through pregnancy and labor and then feeding the kid and you go, Wow, my body is totally amazing, and I’m never going to not like it again, because it did this, and this is f–king extraordinary.”
[From Elle Magazine]
While Elle hasn?t released the actual quote where Keira confirms the name of her baby girl, Elle?s promotional email says that Keira named her daughter Edie. EDIE!!! Edie Righton, I?m assuming, although it could be Edie Knightley-Righton. I say that because I?m pretty sure Keira kept her maiden name when she married James. As for the name Edie?it?s sort of cute, sort of hipster. A nod to Edie Sedgwick?
Her 30th birthday party sounds like so much fun! I mean, it sucks to be the only sober one at a party, especially when it?s your birthday party, but I imagine being in a house full of your drunk friends might be an excellent way to spend a day.

First, a little update on Keira Knightley?s baby situation. On Friday, lots of media outlets ran a hard confirmation that yes, Keira had given birth at some point in May and yes, she did give birth to a girl. So now we know for sure that Keira and James Righton welcomed a daughter (a daughter with amazing cheekbones, I?m sure). We still don?t know the name and I have no idea if we?ll ever now.
So what else is going on with Keira? There?s an interesting story at the Daily Mail about Keira being the ?breadwinner? of her marriage. Her husband James is a musician, and he was part of the new defunct band the Klaxons. I don?t know if the Klaxons were ever considered popular or if they?ve ever had a major money-making song, album or tour, but James did not make much money at all last year. Which means Keira is the ?breadwinner? of the marriage.
She is a Hollywood actress who commands millions of pounds per movie, but Keira Knightley’s husband James Righton reportedly earned just 5000 in a year. The Sun reports that his company, Galloping Faster, which he runs with Klaxon bandmates Jamie Reynolds and Simon Taylor-Davis, only made 14,844 in the 12 months to March 2014. The band have since split and documents state that the company loaned 51,241 to Klaxons – meaning that they have a debt.
Meanwhile, 30-year-old Keira’s company. Kck Boo, made 4.1million. MailOnline has contacted a spokesperson for James Righton, 31, and Keira Knightley for comment.
[From The Daily Mail]
The Mail also brought up Keira?s statement to Glamour Mag last year, which was that she gives herself an ?allowance? of about $50,000 a year to live on, because she?s not all about money and she doesn?t want to flaunt her wealth around her friends, many of whom do not live in the lap of luxury. For what it?s worth, I think Keira really does live relatively modestly for a movie star ? she has a nice place in London, but it?s not some huge mansion. She likes clothes, but she often wears the same old pieces in her casual life. She?s not jewelry obsessed nor is she big-toy obsessed. I doubt Keira cares about being the ?breadwinner? and James seems totally enamored with her, as in? he?s not a golddigger or a K-Fed. So, is it emasculating for James to have this information out there? I kind of doubt either of them care. Anyway, they?re probably just focused on their baby girl right now.
