Keira Knightley Birthday Special: 7 Times When the 'Bend It Like Beckham' Actress Kicked Her Way into Our Hearts with her Phenomenal Red Carpet Choices (View Pics)

It's Keira Knightley's birthday today and we pick seven of her most ravishing red carpet moments from the recent past.

British women have a distinct aura around them. Especially Keira Knightley. The way she smiles, uff...she has charming laughter, one that makes boys go weak in their knees. And of course, the way she presents herself in flowy gowns. It's a very rare scenario where you would see Keira in a well-structured, stiff attire. She usually believes in comfy designs that allow her to breathe (much like her character, Elizabeth in Pirates of the Caribbean). Yes, true they don't allow her to flaunt her svelte figure but the Pride and Prejudice actress has no qualms about that. Today, she's more about making her presence felt and not let couture take over her. Keira Knightley Picked Her Own Body Double After Refusing to do a Nude Scene for 'The Aftermath'.

Keira's love for Erdem dresses cannot be even. She likes to match her alluring persona with pretty silhouettes and soft colour palette that often go hand-in-hand. Knightley models for Chanel and so unsurprisingly chooses that label often. However, the actress believes in keeping her options open. Her red carpet appearances are truly so delightful that you end up staring at her pictures for hours at length. Her style evolution has been remarkable. From wearing jeans on the red carpet to the ultimate sophisticated IT-British girl, she has come a long way and we're fortunate to witness her transformation.
