Transformation

Keira Knightley happily plays down her classic good looks. "I don't know why I'm a scrub, but I am," she has said. "I feel stupid if I've made an effort." Luckily, with her linear profile and rosebud mouth, she's naturally stunning. "On a regular day she doesn’t wear any makeup or pluck her eyebrows or anything," makeup artist Kate Lee has said. That's not to say that she won't take a risk when the occasion demands it; she's gone from a punky short cut to long curls to a blond bob in the space of a year. These days the star of A Dangerous Method frames her features with n angled cut.

Knightley kicked off her career with Bend it Like Beckham and a smooth, honey-colored bob.
