Knightley dazzles in vintage florals as she joins Waddingham for the woman in cabin 10 debut
Keira Knightley radiated vintage elegance at the London premiere of The Woman in Cabin 10, where she warmly greeted co-star Hannah Waddingham on the blue carpet.
The 40-year-old actress turned heads in an olive green, floral-embroidered gown that shimmered with intricate beading and diamond embellishments. Adding a distinctive twist, she cinched her waist with twin brown belts and topped the look with a lace ruff at her neckline. Black lace-up boots grounded the ensemble, while a glowing makeup palette completed the striking aesthetic.
Knightley, known for her roles in Pirates of the Caribbean and Atonement, looked delighted as she embraced Waddingham, 51, who brought her own bold glamour to the event.

The gown featured detailed black beading on the pockets, lending a dramatic edge to her blue carpet look. Confident and playful, Waddingham posed effortlessly for photographers before sharing a laugh and a hug with Knightley.
The star-studded premiere at BAFTA Piccadilly also saw the arrival of Guy Pearce, who cut a sophisticated figure in a velvet tuxedo jacket paired with navy trousers and a white T-shirt. The Australian actor, 57, added to the evening’s polished aesthetic while mingling with his co-stars.
