Keira Knightley on the cover of ELLE

Keira Knightley was on the cover of ELLE back in March 2010 and also did an editorial in the magazine. Somehow I missed it until now. I wanted to post the pictures because we don’t get the opportunity to see Keira that often and I do love seeing her.
The lovely Keira was photographed by Carter Smith and styled by Elle Creative Director, Joe Zee, for this shoot.
Keira looks like she has gained a little weight. It is most noticeable to me in the picture where she is wearing pants. Her legs, mostly in the thigh area, and her arms look like they are a little fuller than I am used to seeing them. What do you think?
Photographer: Carter Smith
Stylist: Joe Zee

i LOVE keira! she is sooo skinny…lovely!
Oh, and it’s hard to tell from these pictures, but I think you’re right, SkinnyGurl.
I think youre right skinny gurl, but Elle photoshops so much, they’re not even reliable.
Like Freja, Keira can do no wrong for me. She may not be as good as she once was, but that was quite a few years ago. Her belly was/is incredible.
She carries most of her weight on her legs and bottom. Generally you don’t see to many pictures of her lower half. I think her legs look a little thinner than normal, but it is hard to tell for sure. She does look great in these photos though!
I love her figure!
I think she’s fabulous! I agree with both Victoria N and jjj: I’d love to know what they changed with photoshop before these photos went into the magazine. Her thighs do still look pretty thin as well, if she has gained weight I don’t think it’s very much.
She can do no wrong in my eyes! Lol
i was actually able to see her when she performed in the misanthrope (in london) and she looked amazing then! we went out to eat afterwards and seeing her was fabulous thinspo.
She is absolutely stunning, but she’s never really been skinny.
She has a big lower body and a smaller torso.

@Minnie her legs look huge there! but yeah, she has a nice and small upper body. I’m kind of like that except my arms are fat too ):
another example of her incredible belly: http://img238.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=09744_61277kknightley01112258et9_122_58lo.jpg
What the heck! Her thighs are terrible! I think, if she lost like 15 pounds, she would be perfect. And probably, most of the weight would come off of her legs. If she lost some lb’s, also, her cheekbones would be to die for!
yes… i am super jealous of Keira. people with tiny upper bodies look tiny in general *cry* Need. to. restrict. more.
I think she might have gained weight here too… but I’m conflicted. I love her skinny self but I think here she looks more womanly and it’s really pretty. <3
She’s been saying for years that she wanted to gain weight, if only ot fight the anorexia rumours. I think she’s succeeded. It’s noticeable in her arms. I think her legs are still quite skinny – Keira would need to gain a lot more to look big! It’s different to what we’re used to seeing, but she still looks great =) And pretty =)
In the pic on the blog link I was blown away! And I thought
I had massive legs! Lol. She looks nothing like when she
Played in Pride and Prejudice-the movie where she won me over
To want her figure.
