Keira Knightley's Parisian Glam at Louvre Gala: A Night of Chic and Elegance
KEIRA KNIGHTLEY AND HUSBAND JAMES RIGHTON SPICE UP THE MUSÉE DES ARTS DÉCORATIFS GALA WITH KIRSTEN DUNST AND JESSE PLEMONS - BUT WHO'S THE REAL QUEEN OF FRENCH CHIC?
In a night that was as star-studded as the Eiffel Tower, Keira Knightley and her hubby James Righton brought their A-game to the Musée des Arts Décoratifs gala at the iconic Louvre on Sunday. The gorgeous couple, who are notoriously frugal (more on that later), were joined by fellow married duo Kirsten Dunst and Jesse Plemons for a night of glitz, glamour, and old-world charm.
Keira, 40, was the epitome of sophistication in a stunning white tweet gown that boasted black lapels and statement silver buttons. The dress, which seemed to have been custom-made for her petite frame, featured a daring split and some seriously risqué leg action. We're talking serious siren vibes here! To complete the look, she added some dazzling diamond earrings that sparkled like the City of Light itself.
Meanwhile, James, 41, looked dapper in his classic black tuxedo and shades, giving off major rockstar vibes. The Klaxon's musician shares two adorable daughters with Keira - Edie, 10, and Delilah, 6 - but we can't help wondering if he's a bit worried about being upstaged by his wife's ravishing looks.
Kirsten Dunst, 43, was also dressed to impress in a silver metallic gown that cinched at her waist with a gold buckled belt. The Spiderman star went easy on the jewelry, letting her stunning ensemble speak for itself as she cozied up to her suited and booted actor husband, Jesse Plemons (37). Together, they're parents to two adorable sons - Ennis, 7, and James, 4.
German movie star Diane Kruger, 48, turned heads in a flowing ruffled look that seemed straight out of a fairytale. We can't help but wonder if she's the real queen of French chic, given her effortless elegance and poise.
The gala was held to celebrate the centennial of the 1925 International Exhibition of Decorative Arts, with Oscar-winning movie director Sofia Coppola serving as Artistic Director. In a statement, Sofia said: "I am honored to be entrusted with the artistic direction of the Bal d'Été at the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris. This city is my beloved second home, so to celebrate this icon of French culture is especially inspiring to me."
But what really caught our attention was Keira's whopping £25 million fortune! According to Harper's Bazaar, her companies - Ponder Rights and KCK Boo - have a combined worth of almost £25 million. That's a lot of euros!
Keira's frugal nature has been well-documented, with the actress famously giving herself a yearly salary of £30,000 to stay grounded. But it seems like she might need to give herself a pay rise, given her treasure chest is bursting at the seams! New accounts have revealed that Ponder Rights earned £411,000 in 2024 alone, while KCK Boo has a whopping £9.7 million in assets.
Keira has spoken out about her frugality, saying: "Living an [expensive] lifestyle means you can't hang out with people who don't live that lifestyle. It alienates you." She's also been known to shop at her local Tesco using separate self-service checkouts (because even the rich and famous need some alone time!).
The actress lives in a £4 million North London mansion with her family, which she purchased using a £2.3 million loan from her own company. Talk about #girlboss goals!
In conclusion, it seems like Keira Knightley is having the time of her life (and the bank account to match!). With her stunning looks, enviable wealth, and adorable family, we can't help but wonder what's next for this Hollywood superstar. Stay tuned, folks!
