Keira Knightly, lovely in lace LBD

Keria Knightly channelled sophistication and girly chic in a cute ruched LBD at the 2011 National Board of Review Awards Gala in New York last week. The Nina Ricci LBD sported a heavy starched silk material that gave the silhouette of the dress definition and made the skirting more full and ladylike. The dress also featured a lace-front bodice that added a mix of sophistication and sultriness to the outfit. We also had full show of Ms. Knightly's toned arms with the high ruched sleeving. The lovely low-key ensemble was then complete with a classic quilted Chanel handbag and gorgeous velvet Roger Vivier sandals. Now, we'd love to be all athletic pins and golden tan, but its post-Christmas and Keira's got the right idea in thick woolly tights. Team LBD love Ms Knightly's simplistic and sophisticated outfit and if you do too, have a look at our top picks to have you scoring high in the fashion stakes.
