Newly-engaged Keira Knightley was spotted recently out after dinner in London, wearing a black maxi dress and denim jacket. We love Keira’s effortless chic look, utilizing a summer palette of tan leather accessories and a faded jeans jacket to tone down a red carpet potential dress. But, we dare to say this is a perfect day-to-evening ensemble. By swapping out her tan bag and belt for a dark belt, metallic clutch and some red lipstick, Keira could easily get glammed up in minutes. Want to get Keira’s look? Not a problem. We’ve rounded up a few suggestions for your convenience!
