Keira Knightley made an appearance on ‘The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,’ discussing everything from her Golden Globe nomination for ‘Black Doves’ to whistling on her husband James Righton’s songs and her daughters’ obsession with Studio Ghibli. While her anecdotes were endearing, her outfit made an equally compelling statement.
The actress wore a Valentino look from Alessandro Michele’s Spring 2025 collection, continuing her streak of edgier than expected choices on this press tour.
Honestly, I would not have selected this look for Keira. It’s not what I would typically associate with style, but that’s likely my own bias at play. She is promoting a thriller, not a rom-com, so perhaps these choices appear to be reflecting the tone of ‘Black Doves.’
The neckline, in particular, feels like it might be a dealbreaker for some. Was it inspired by old vinyl records or perhaps a Maasai tribal aesthetic? I’d lean toward the latter, as it adds cultural depth and a striking point of difference to anything we saw on her last press tour.
Either way, it’s an unexpected twist that makes this ensemble stand out, and I have to say I love everything about it.
The shoes—black with gold accents—were styled exactly as they appeared on the runway, grounded the look with a cohesive finish.
Keira’s recent fashion choices have forced me to rethink my perception of her style.
This Valentino look may not be her most universally loved, but it shows a willingness to take risks, which I’m beginning to appreciate more and more. It’s exciting to see her step into new sartorial territories.
