Keira Knightley subtly paid homage to her rocker-chic era in her latest photoshoot, and it has us feeling nostalgic!

For British Vogue’s July 2025 Issue, they made a gorgeous campaign called “The Vogue 25: Meet The Women Defining Britain In 2025.” This issue is filled with stars like Amal Clooney, designer Dilara Findikoglu, The Princess of Wales, singer Chloe Qisha, and of course, Knightley. (You can see the photos from the issue HERE!)

And for the issue, we can see that Knightley went back to her rocker chic fashion by rocking a dark denim vest, a white shirt, and jeans from Chanel. It’s an elegant version of rocker chic, but it totally reminds us of her fashion in the early 2000s.

Back in 2001, for her first-ever red carpet moment, she went to the Bridget Jones’s Diary London premiere in a truly rocker ensemble: black leather pants and a sheer black camisole with a matching lace bra underneath.

She often wore black at premieres in the early 2000s, including at the 200s London premiere of Pirates of the Caribbean The Curse of the Black Pearl, when she wore a gothic dark shirt and jeans. Along with that, she wore a lace-up corset for the Love Actually premiere, her Domino era, and lots of fur-lined ensembles until 2005.

2000 to 2005 was her rocker era, and we love that she’s paying homage to that in her photoshoot.

Now, along with being a fashion icon, Knightley has learned how to turn out the haters when it comes to her looks. In a previous interview with The Talks, the Nutcrackerstar discussed how she stopped caring about the random backlash she got (even on the red carpet) as she’s gotten older. “I learned you can say nothing, you can be perfectly smiling, wearing a perfectly nice dress at the opening of a charity and people can still despise you for it,” she said.

She also spoke to Vogue about growing older, saying, “It’s quite nice to have lived your life and have lived experiences. And be like, ‘Well, I’ve been through that and I’ve come out the other side. And here we are and it’s all a bit chaotic, but you can go on.’”
