Keira Knightley is the living embodiment of the specific type of chic that Chanel is all about

A few weeks ago, Vanity Fair brought Keira Knightley and Rosamund Pike, aka Lizzie and Jane Bennett from Pride & Prejudice 2005, back together after a feature with director Joe Wright back in April ahead of the 20th anniversary in September.

I finally got around to reading it and watching the YouTube.

This is the version of P&P that I will f-ck with until the day I die. The original is the godmother of the enemies to lovers trope and this adaptation is a gold standard, one that probably millions of us have at the top of our rewatch lists, as in you do it at least once a year, if not several times a year. If a year goes by where for some reason you don’t get to it, you make up for it with a stupid amount of rewatches the following.

Keira Knightley, however, says she hasn’t seen it in two decades, LOL. But I do think she and Rosamund understand the power of their film, and maybe they understood it even though, because they talk about how the whole cast, basically, stayed up or got up for the famous scene at dawn. It was the music, the way he speaks to her, so tentative and gentle, her knowing smile. “You have bewitched me, body and soul.”

Stop! It never gets old!

Anyway, here’s Keira with her husband James Righton in Paris today ahead of the Chanel show, giving us another example of why she’s been such an enduringly well-suited ambassador for the brand. Even with a cap covering her messy hair, no makeup, and not much effort at all, she is the living embodiment of the specific type of chic that Chanel is all about.

What else happened today…

If Keira isn’t in Chanel, she’s often in Erdem. I like Erdem on her, but it doesn’t hit quite the same way as Chanel. (Go Fug Yourself)

Well this headline just pressed one of my buttons. The key words are “Logan Echolls”. I started watching Veronica Mars well after it aired, succumbing to relentless nagging by Duana. And I remember basically live texting her during season two at 3am sometimes because I couldn’t stop. Logan Echolls was a big part of that. Dustin Rowles says season two holds up. (Pajiba)

Love this piece by Emma Cieslik – “A Queer History of the Muppets”! (Autostraddle)

Mel B and Rory McPhee got married this weekend. Rory is a hairstylist and, well, I get it. Because when I love my hair, I love myself. And I know the feeling of wanting to give that love back to the person who helped you find it. (Celebitchy)

Those who were prematurely declaring the end of Drake are probably disappointed because he just dropped a new song, “What Did I Miss”, and the streaming numbers are, as usual, really big. He’s also promising a new album, Iceman. (Vibe)
