Keira Knightley certainly knows what works for her: the actress has spent most of her New York City summer wearing below-the-knee dresses in fun, floral prints.

This week alone, she’s worn two such styles, a lighter Erdem 3/4-sleeve frock (left) and a rose-covered, paneled Mulberry dress (second from left). She paired each with the same quilted bag, shades and studded black sandals — and actually wore each dress earlier in the summer, too.

Knightley’s even taken the look to work, wearing a red frock (second from right) while filming her latest movie, Can a Song Save Your Life? And the dress that started it all — a girly Wren shift with blue, pink and green flowers (right) — was a look we told you to go out and try.

Headed to some festive Fourth of July bashes in the next 24 hours or so — and stumped on what to wear? Well thanks to Keira Knightley, we’ve got you covered.

The Seeking a Friend for the End of the World star — with her new fiancé, James Righton — took to the streets of New York on Monday in a breezy floral-print Wren dress, quilted black cross-body bag, simple sandals and black shades. Basically, it’s the perfect summer ensemble.

If you don’t feel like shelling out $319 for the actual dress (also seen on Reese Witherspoon), we’ve put together a similar look — for less! Try this pretty printed frock from Dorothy Perkins ($55), accessorized with a textured Dorothy Perkins bag ($69) and basic DV by Dolce Vita sandals ($69). Pair the outfit with your favorite sunnies and you’ll be set; all you’ll need is a cute boy in an American flag T-shirt to complete the look. Tell us: What are you wearing to celebrate the Fourth tomorrow?

Mega movie premieres this week (yay for summer blockbusters) meant lots of opportunities to see our favorite stars work it hard on the red carpet. And many of them did, choosing perfectly appropriate looks for their big nights out. However, there are still a few ladies on our naughty list, so let’s take a look at the trends we’re loving and the trend we’re ready to leave behind this week:

Up: Taking the plunge. If you’ve got it, flaunt it. (Well, as long as you don’t have too much of “it.”) Emma Stone‘s Elie Saab creation could’ve been a bit blasé if it went to her neck, but with the sexy deep V showing an appropriate amount of skin (and the rest of the outfit looking classy, not trashy), the star made a major fashion impression.

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
