Keira Knightley wore her “dream dress” to the Golden Globes

OHMYGOSSIP — Keira Knightley fell in love with the bespoke Chanel gown she wore to the Golden Globes on Sunday (11.01.15) and admitted wearing the gown was “like a fairytale”.

The ‘Atonement’ star has confessed she immediately fell in love with the embroidered Chanel creation – from the label’s most recent Metiers d’Art, Paris – Salzburg collection – and couldn’t wait to wear it to the prestigious awards ceremony, reports Vogue magazine.

The brunette beauty – who is expecting her first child with her husband James Righton – said: “As soon as I saw the Paris – Salzburg collection, I knew that I wanted to wear this fantastic dress!

“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!”

The French fashion house’s head designer and creative director, Karl Lagerfeld, was more than happy to grant Keira her wish.

He said of the actress – who has also fronted campaigns for the brand’s Coco Mademoiselle fragrance: “I love Keira so much, she is such a talented actress, a sweet and beautiful person to work with.

“Even pregnant, wearing that dress from Paris – Salzburg collection, she has the lightness of a butterfly!”

After accepting her request, the dress is said to have taken a 30-strong workforce at the Parisian label a week to make.
