The Mail on Sunday has learned that the 20-year-old actress is set to become the new 'face' of [glow=red,2,300]Chanel[/glow] cosmetics:
A source said: "Keira loves Chanel and she is perfect for them. Not only is she gorgeous but, unlike Kate, she has never been touched by scandal. Chanel is expected to announce the deal any day."
Knightley, who already has a £1million contract to promote Royal jewellers Asprey, is tipped to wear a Chanel couture dress on the red carpet tonight.
The source added: "Keira is one of the most beautiful women in the world and becoming the face of Chanel is a dream come true. She will promote their cosmetics and make-up line worldwide.
"It's a huge deal. They are just dotting the i's and crossing the t's but the contract is done."
Knightley, up for an award for her role as Elizabeth Bennet in Pride & Prejudice, has just finished filming two sequels to her hit film Pirates Of The Caribbean with Johnny Depp and is now working on 19th Century love story Silk with Alfred Molina.
Her next project is a big-screen version of Ian McEwan's best-selling novel Atonement, which will begin shooting in June.
She said recently: "I know that my face has got me jobs and that's just the way it is. But what happens is that you sit for two-and-ahalf hours in front of the mirror covering up your imperfections.

Chanel have officially announced that Keira will take over from Kate Moss as the face of their fragrance Coco Mademoiselle. Keira will start a contract of TV commercials and print advertisements in 2007. Vice president of Chanel Fragrance said: "What makes Keira exceptional is that she shows strength and independence through the film roles she chooses to play. And she certainly has a vein of irreverence that is similar to Mademoiselle Chanel herself."

Yes I agree with Hedvig. Didn't Nicole Kidman do a commercial for Chanel? I think she looks weird.

i think Keira will be great, by Chanel using Keira to promote their products they are really saying that they class Keira as a beautiful woman, with a great sense of personal style which is equal to that of Kate Moss/Vanessa Paradis/Nicole Kidman............
its a great compliment to Keira

Besides looking way better than Kate Moss, she's young. Chanel probably wishes to attract younger customers with her. But she will be great, can't wait to see her instead of Kate Moss.

i love kate! if you look at the faces of Chanel - Vanessa Paradis and Kate Moss in particular , i think they too brings a younger edge to chanel - they don't necesarrily have what one would think of as a 'chanel woman' but thats why, for me, chanel as an institution is so appealing.
but i agree, vanessa and kate are the idols of girls in the 90's (although i personally think they both have got much better with age and are my idols now) and Keira is the girl that most of us look up to, and she emphasizes the same as what vanessa and kate have - great sense of personal style but have the elegance and beauty that is timeless and therefore perfect for chanel - (can you tell i love Chanel!!!!)

You really do love Chanel, I can tell. I know that Kate and Vanessa aren't old, but Keira is young and I personally am more attracted to Chanel now, because I adore Ms Knightley (probably can't afford most of the stuff I like). But they do have a kind of "Chanel face" type don't they? I mean Kate, Vanessa, Nicole Kidman and Keira are all quite skinny, aren't they? Strange ...

Last night I saw the channel comercial with nicole kidman and she´s with a boy (i think he´s a model or something). You know who´d look more than great with Keira on a comercial?.... Orlando... that´d be really nice!! - (sorry it´s my matchmaking nature talking) ;D

as Keira has replaced kate it seems kate has taken over something thats once keira had:
HOLLYWOOD - British supermodel Kate Moss is reportedly dating Keira Knightley's ex-boyfriend Jamie Dornan. Moss and Dornan met on the set of a Calvin Klein photoshoot in New York six weeks ago.
And they have spent time together at Moss's London home, as well as enjoying dates at London's Dorchester hotel.
A source close to Moss tells British paper The Mail on Sunday, "She likes seeing younger men--they make her feel sexy and desirable.
"Jamie ticks all the right boxes for Kate. He's incredibly handsome, a bit of a scruff, and a musician to boot." (hollywood.com)

^Ha! I don't know! They had an interview with Jamie. He said Kate wouldn't like him. He also said that he was glad Keira was #1 most beautiful woman in the world! But he looked ofrward to going back to Irlenad to sing some Sons of Jim music! Not bad! They have their own myspace and I love their music! I want My Burning Sun when it comes out.

^ Here's that interview
Ulster model Jamie Dornan last night ruled out romance with catwalk queen Kate Moss, claiming, "I'm not cool enough."
The 23-year-old hunk from Holywood, Co Down, who had a two year romance with actress Keira Knightley, stars in the latest Calvin Klein ad campaign alongside the world's top supermodel.
But despite playing in a band, Jamie says he doesn't he think he's hip enough for rockstar-loving Kate.
"I've met her several times and she's really sweet. A lovely girl who is just so cool to be around," he said.
"It's a nice thought of course, but somehow I just don't think I'm cool enough or rock star enough.
"Given her taste in men, I'm really not her type."
Since his heartbreaking split from Keira, Jamie has not only been notching up high-profile modelling jobs, but concentrating on his music career.
The former Methodist College pupil is in a band - Sons Of Jim - with old school chum Dave Alexander.
The duo release their second single, My Burning Son, on May 29.
A week later they play their debut gig in Northern Ireland at Auntie Annie's on the Dublin Road in Belfast.
Dave said: "Playing in front of friends and family is always more daunting but we're both really looking forward to it.
"We have no idea how the single will do, but we're both pretty down-to-earth so we're not getting our hopes built up about things."
Aside from the modelling and singing, Jamie also makes his movie debut in the forthcoming Marie Antoinette, starring opposite Spiderman star Kirsten Dunst.
He said: "I'd love to get more movie roles, obviously, because I really enjoyed doing it and didn't go into this thinking it would just be a one-off.
"Landing the modelling contract opposite Kate Moss is brilliant too.
"I did the Calvin Klein jeans campaign a few years ago, but it's a bit crazy to be working so closely with Kate."
Jamie also dismissed rumours of romance with another fashion icon, Sienna Miller.
"That was all rubbish," he said. "I know her, but that's it."
And he said he was proud that Keira had recently been voted the sexiest woman in the world.
"It's not bad that, is it?" he laughed. "But you know what? I'm single now and I'm in a good place. Things are pretty good at the moment and I can't complain. I'm having a great time with the band and I can't wait to get back to Northern Ireland to show people what we can do."
• Sons of Jim play Auntie Annie's on Sunday, June 4. (belfast telegraph)
i think he's so lovely - but that clears it all up

It's so weird though because Rupert looks a lot like Orlando , but we still love Jamie more. But we love Orlando more than we do Jamie.
