A Decade of Keira Knightley Movie Hairstyles

Keira Knightly In the Hole

Never Let Me Go sees Keira Knightley portray one of three best friends confronted by the challenges of growing up together; Andrew Garfield and Carey Mulligan make up the trio from Kazuo Ishiguro’s acclaimed novel.

In anticipation of Never Let Me Go’s nationwide release on February 11, we took a look back through the past ten years of Keira’s movie hairstyles.

The Hole (2001) Young and fresh-faced, Keira wears her hair long and straightened for this sophisticated look in one of her first major roles.

Bend It Like Beckham (2002) Cropped and drawn back, Keira’s style befits her sporty nature in 2002’s hugely successful Bend It Like Beckham.

Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003) A first visit for Keira to a voluminous period do as the high society Elizabeth Swan in the first of Disney’s Pirates franchise.

Love Actually (2003) Keira sported this ultra-chic pinned back look in the Brit-hit Love Actually.

Pride & Prejudice (2005) Keira’s second Elizabeth wears a sensible bun with pride for this character from classic literature.

Domino (2005) The most stylish bounty hunter on film, Domino Harvey saw Keira trading her flowing locks for this choppy, no-nonsense, boyish cut.

Atonement (2007) Undeniably classy, Keira’s short, styled coiffure in Atonement is a perfect look for 1930’s Cecilia.

The Duchess (2008) Volume, volume, volume! The Duchess of Devonshire’s rather extravagant hat fails to contain her masses of opulent curls.

Never Let Me Go (2011) Flowing natural locks and straight fringe frame the English rose as Keira returns to cinema screens as young adult and best friend Ruth.
