Those earlier pictures taken on the street in a wind on a Sunday afternoon didn't look good. Which shows that even a woman as beautiful as Keira can have a bad hair day in the wind.
After some time with her stylist, inside, and smiling, well, the cut looks hot.

It does appear to be a half an inch to an inch shorter on top in the back. It also looks a lot more stylish. The candid shots looked like it was a little haphazard. The front is either blond or a much lighter brown than she had it.
She conveys a tomboyish personality so the cut seems to suit her. Unlike some celebs (Alyssa Milano, Marley Shelton, Ashley Judd) who look great in long and short hair, Keira's long hair was rather limp and unstylish.
It is very attractive on her. Her cheekbones and eyes jump out more with the short hair.

She is absolutely gorgeous!!!
The fun part on wireimage is scanning back to page 10 or so, and seeing how long it USED to be.
What a babe! If only more actresses would follow her lead!

Wow, and I thought she was hot with long hair. I never dreamed that she would go short. Fantastic! There hasn't been many celebs going short lately. Maybe it's a start of something good?

Just when I was getting all depressed seeing the last days of Charlize Theron's gorgeous long blonde hair on the cover of this month's Vogue, finally some good news.
I give it very high marks. The best cut since Milano by far.

Any bets on how long it is until she starts wearing extensions? It is going to take forever to grow out though. It is cut extremely short in the back.
I guess this effectively ends discussion about the stupid buzz cut though.

Arch94, here they are.
With long hair, in the way she was wearing it right before the cut:
With the new short hair, from the same angle:
IMHO, there's no doubt about how she became so much more beautiful with short hair.

I think there is a general consensus that her hairstyle immediately before the haircut was not her best. It's just that this new look isn't her best either, at least that's my opinion.

Hmm... the short-hair pic also shows her revealing much skin and shows her body's shape. This wouldn't lend to viewer bias favoring this pic, now, would it?

Keira would look pretty in a Mohawk, but I can't believe there is a person alive who thinks this face-hiding short 'do flaunts her beauty as much as her long hair did. She almost joins my "haircut disaster" list, but not quite. Bob

Well Dave, since you asked...
Her outfit has absolutely nothing to do with all of us "oohing and awe-ing" over her....
For us short hair fans, it's purely the short haircut...she could be dressed in a gunny sack with her new short cut, and the response from us would be the same.
Any fellow SHF's(short hair fans) care to back me up?

What a poor review. Unlike celebs like Ashley Judd, Alyssa Milano, Demi Moore, and others who've gone short, Keira's long hair didn't look that good. If you're a guy who only likes long hair on women, fine, but her hair hardly resembled Kate Beckinsale's beautiful tresses.
"Jutting jaw?" I've seen women with prominent jaws and hers definitely isn't. This is a woman whose face is very beautiful. If this cut makes it more prominent, that's great.
"The dreaded Felicity syndrome?" Oh come on. Keri Russell was an actress whose fans identified her by her hair. Thus, they were upset when she cut it. Keira Knightly isn't identified by her hair. It's a rare celeb who changing their hair will make their fans upset.
Winona Ryder and Halle Berry were identified by their short hair and the cut was probably one of the top 5 celebrity inspirations for women in the last 10 years. Growing their hair didn't cost them fans.
Alyssa Milano cut her hair. Some people liked it. Some didn't. But it didn't cost her fans. And it didn't cause "Charmed's" ratings to fall. (The haircut didn't cause "Felicity's" ratings to fall, but that's another story.)
The quality of the cut is certainly worth debate. It's a lot messier than the neat styles Halle and Alyssa had. I can see criticism because it looks uneven. But if you just prefer long hair on all women, say that. Don't knock her beautiful face.

Sorry, but I really can't see how that cut is attractive =/
If it was a cute chin-length bob, maybe, but I don't like
the cut/colour combo, it looks like one of those horrible
cuts approaching middle aged women get that their hairdressers convince them is just fabulous.
It might look okay dyed a punky colour, though. )! Aa la q`e !$40`" 4$b /4 ! $% ) , ,%,b` #(

It's far too short at the back compared to the front, and I hate the way it's not dyed like the rest.

I confess I don't know why this person is a celebrity (in other words, I am not familiar with her professional work). That said, and to borrow a phrase... there are 3 women in the world who look good with very short hair -- and Keira Knightly is not one of them. This haircut does make her jaw appear very prominent; it is not flattering. Her facial features (even if very much "surrounded") in the "before" pic offered appear to be more balanced.

!t` (# @ $)da ``(
Really? Is that so? Well then I guess you must be a short hair extremist.
I seem to recall others on the celebrity board saying something to the effect that there are precisely 3 women in this world who look good with long center parted hair (and that the woman -- Demi Moore? -- was not one of them)... but nobody took that poster to task for posting such an opinion. I guess there really is a double standard on this board, where it's only okay for short hair fans to express that sort of thought.
Thanks for informing me of the true nature of this board.

Hi Brent,
I agree that there is a variety of opinions expressed here. I just don't understand why I am attacked when I state one. Nobody squawked when the opinion was expressed that "only 3 women in this world look good with long center parted hair." But I merely mirror that (to diametrically oppose), sort of tongue-in-cheek, and lo and behold, I am accused of being a zealot. Very charitable of him to say that about me, don't you think?  I very much disagree with the opinion that only 3 women in this world look good with long center parted hair, as I think it looks great on many, many women.
So the question is, can we all tolerate and respect other's opinions even when they don't agree with our own? It's okay to talk about them, and even question them (respectfully), but to assign unflattering labels to others is not cool.

hey sh752k, I became moderator about a year and a half ago.
Native, I am not required to like a "balance" of hair looks, and I will not be dishonest to please those seeking flattering words for any given celeb.
I do not make comments like "short hair is ugly." If/when I dislike a celeb's look, I always try to state my thoughts in tactful terms.

Funny you should post this one. I just saw it in InTouch magazine with a smaller pic of her in long hair below it and the article stated that her new hair style was a big hair "Do"...they were showing hair do and don'ts. Interesting what the mags consider do's and don'ts...i guess we all have different opinions.
