Keira Knightley's New Chanel Ad (VIDEO)

The new preview for Keira Knightley's upcoming Chanel ad gives a nice behind-the-scenes look at the Joe Wright (Atonement, Pride and Prejudice) directed mini film. The Coco Mademoiselle 'advertising film' will continue Chanel's tradition of pairing directors with familiar muses. Jeanne-Pierre Jeunet reunited with Audrey Tatou in 2009 after Amelie and A Very Long Engagement, and Baz Luhrmann teamed with Nicole Kidman for the Moulin Rouge-esque 2005 campaign.

The spot presents Knightley looking back at her first impressions of the shoot, her narration set against b-roll footage. She recalls being told there was "something about a motorbike," that "it would be beige," and that there would be a "sort of catsuit" involved. The film, which will feature Knightley as a "Chanel Superwoman," will premiere Monday, March 21.

who needs romance to sell romance when you can have a beige cat suit, beige high Turbo motor bike and the lilt of the Parisian breeze thumping behind an English super hero…?

Such a beautiful woman. I'd like to see her with 10 extra pounds but she may be naturally very thin.

Stop trying to make everyone xtra-LARGE. PLZ.

NAAFA is taking over everyone's mind, sadly.

They say the camera adds 10 lbs. So.. is she even viewable with the naked eye these days or only magically appear when filmed?

Either way, she's GORG....!

Hurray for the MAGICALLY APPEARING!

Wish she'd appear more in major films.

buy vintage and have it tailored to fit - most of it is timeless and is sewn to last 40 years.

It's a repainted Ducati. Looks like a '70s vintage, maybe a 900.

she looks great, like a bond girl, she is underrated in the looks and talent area - her face is flawless, she's an A lister, but she should have a better career...

Agree TOTALLY.

But, it seems these days, you only get rewarded for BAD BEHAVIOR, or tweeting nude pics of yourself / porn tapes, etc.

Look at this site, everyday, KK-DashTrashian is showcased.
Uhg & Yuck.

PLEASE DON'T.

connorin - Stop trying to promote THICKNESS / CURVINESS or PUFFINESS / FLUFFY ... or whatever the new "PC" term is.

The problem is people in this country eating TOO many sandwiches.
