Karl Grants Keira's Wish

Deciding what to wear on the red carpet is not an easy decision - unless you are Keira Knightley, that is, and have Karl Lagerfeld´s direct line. For the  Golden Globes this week, the actress and Chanel ambassador chose a piece from the fashion house'smost recent Metiers d´Art collection and it was love at first sight.

"As soon as I saw the Paris - Salzburg collection, I knew that I wanted to wear this fantastic dress!" said Knightley. "It is my absolute dream dress, so light and in this beautiful pale green colour. Up close, I was impressed to see the intricate embroidery work made into beautiful butterflies and feathers. It's just like a fairytale!"

And for Lagerfeld's part, he was more than happy to grant  the expectant mother her wish.

"I love Keira so much, she is such a talented actress, a sweet and beautiful person to work with," he enthused of the Oscar-nominated star. "Even pregnant, wearing that dress from Paris - Salzburg collection, she has the lightness of a butterfly!"

The dress in question is, much like its wearer, worthy of an award itself, with 86,000 sequins, micro pearls, peacock and rooster feathers, and 800 hours of embroidery work to its credit.
