Earlier this month, nostalgic film fans watched Keira Knightley reprise her role from the hit movie Love Actually for the English charity Red Nose Day. And over the weekend it appeared that the actress was channeling a version of her earlier self with her fashion choices, too. The mother of one’s cool-mom wardrobe generally consists of casual shearlings and boyish brogues these days, but her latest look took her style in a more ladylike direction via Chanel’s classic tweedy jacket.
It was just last week that Kate Middleton, her fellow British style maven, sported a nubby tweed coatdress from the French house—clearly that traditional sense of sophistication is having a moment. That said, Knightley’s twist on the look was decidedly more earthy, thanks to a pair of sturdy Dr. Martens boots. That sense of ease came through in the rest of her outfit as well—cozy turtleneck sweater, black jeans, ribbed beanie—with a hands-free Chanel handbag thrown in for good measure.
