Is This Woman the ‘Ultimate Celebrity’?

Apparently, the public doesn’t find just one star sexy enough. British beauty site FeelUnique.com recently ran a poll to find the world’s “Ultimate Celebrity” — a woman who has the best traits from some of the world’s most beautiful women — and created this mash-up using the most popular elements of today’s hottest stars.

According to the results, the Ultimate Celebrity has the glossy brunette locks of the Duchess of Cambridge, the eyebrows of Megan Fox, the eyes of X Factor judge Cheryl Cole and the nose of Kate Beckinsale.

For her cheekbones, voters preferred those of Keira Knightley; her lips are those of Angelina Jolie and her chin is borrowed from Gwyneth Paltrow. For the ideal chest, voters selected Kelly Brook (link slightly NSFW), a British model-actress and former Playboy pin-up.

FeelUnique.com likens the outcome to “Angelina’s long-lost sister,” though we could see her fitting in with the Kardashians, as well. Then again, the whole thing is feeling a little S1m0ne to us. Tell us: What do you think of the “Ultimate Celebrity”? Whose elements would you use to create the perfect woman?

She’s done it again! The Duchess of Cambridge landed atop the U.K. Harper’s Bazaar best-dressed list today, just three months after earning a spot on Vanity Fair‘s list of style stars. The latest honor was bestowed by a panel that included designers Antonio Berardi and Roksanda Ilincic (a Kate favorite), milliner Philip Treacy and Bazaar editors Kim Hersov and Lucy Yeomans.

“Catherine’s incredible style evolution has gripped us all,” Yeomans explains on harpersbazaar.com.uk. “She gave us the year’s — if not the century’s — most thrilling fashion moment at the royal wedding, and is shaping up as an amazing ambassador for British designers and the high street.”

Singer Florence Welch of Florence + the Machine landed in second place — “She’s fairytale,” writes Ilincic — followed by British stars including Kate Moss, Keira Knightley, Emma Watson, Alexa Chung and Stella McCartney. All in all, 20 women were included on the list.

Keira Knightley: I’m a Really Bad Bridesmaid!

Keira Knightley is a pro at acting poised and sultry on set, but when it comes to being a bridesmaid, she’s, well, a little challenged. During an appearance on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon Tuesday, Knightley listed the series of snafus that occurred when she stood up in brother Caleb’s recent Scottish nuptials. “I was a really bad bridesmaid,” she told the talk show host. “It was the first time I’d done it so it was really exciting. I don’t know what happened. ” After putting on her “really twirly” bridesmaid dress, the face of Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle fragrance said things started to go downhill. “Every drink I had went straight down the front and then the food went straight down the front,” she said. And the problems didn’t end there. “Then I went to the bathroom and I got it caught in the toilet door and it all ripped up the back.” Good thing she wasn’t invited to the royal wedding! Tell us: Would you make Knightley a bridesmaid? –Kim Peiffer

Keira Knightley Stars in Sexy New Coco Mademoiselle Film

Mon Dieu! In September, we shared a sneak peek of Keira Knightley‘s new campaign for Chanel’s Coco Mademoiselle fragrance, and at long last, the full-length film is finally here. In the sensual, three-minute spot (above), Knightley, playing a mysterious modern-day Coco Chanel, dons a skintight camel catsuit and matching helmet and hops a motorbike, riding through the streets of Paris as Joss Stone croons “It’s a Man’s Man’s World” in the background. She arrives at a studio, where she goes behind the lens for a sexy photographer, posing for shots in an inviting bedroom set. She soon seduces her camera-wielding amour, but after asking him to lock the studio door, escapes out the window and mounts her motorbike, tucking a tiny bottle of Coco Mademoiselle fragrance into her suit. The video — set to air in shorter form on cable television beginning Tuesday — is part of Knightley’s second Chanel campaign (her brand debut was in 2007). A series of corresponding print ads, shot by Mario Testino, will arrive in April 2011. Tell us: What do you think of the short film? –Kate Hogan

Carey Mulligan or Keira Knightley: Whose Premiere Style Do You Prefer?

At last night’s premiere of Never Let Me Go during the 54th annual BFI London Film Festival, two of Hollywood’s most notable and fashionable ingénues showcased their very distinct styles. British beauty Keira Knightley channeled Old Hollywood, sparkling in an intricate beaded Chanel Couture number with pearl draped sleeves, hip cut-outs and a dangerously low back that nearly exposed her derriere. She finished off the look with sky-high black platform heels from Charlotte Olympia. Meanwhile, steady style standout Carey Mulligan opted for a more graphic take on red carpet glamour, dazzling in a white crepe de chine Vionnet halter dress with multicolor pleated inlays that she paired with gold patent Giuseppe Zanotti sandals. And while Carey’s ombré pixie cut was twisted into a messy updo, Keira’s tresses were coiled into gossy waves. Tell us which look you prefer: Keira’s sophisticated elegance or Carey’s avant-garde styling? - Justine Harman

Keira Knightley Debuts a Brand New Bob: Love It or Hate It?

It looks like Keira Knightley is taking Parisian chic to a whole new level, stepping out at the Chanel show during Paris Fashion Week this morning with a sleek new bob. The British actress is no stranger to switching up her style, having rocked everything from a pixie crop to tumbling shoulder-length locks, but this new sideswept bob is shorter than we’ve seen the star go in quite some time. And while she recently proved to be Chic for Chanel on the biker-babe set of her Coco Mademoiselle fragrance campaign, this morning, she took her Parisian look one step further for the designer, complementing her plumped and pouty lips with her new perfectly layered locks. Though we’re confident that Keira can pull off any look, we think this new style frames her petite face quite perfectly. Tell us: What do you think of Keira Knightley’s new bob?
