As Black Doves rockets to No.1 on Netflix in the UK, its no wonder shoppers are keen to take style tips from the iconic Keira Knightley – including her all-burgundy Christmas outfit
The new hit spy series dropped onto Netflix last week, and within a matter of days, it’s already claimed the No.1 spot from UK viewers. The action-packed show, which takes centre stage in London over Christmas, features British stars, including Sarah Lancashire, Ben Whishaw, and Keira Knightley.
The riveting mystery follows the professional secret agent Helen Webb, portrayed by the style icon Keira Knightley, and (without giving too much away) the drama spirals into a riveting and entertaining plot that keeps viewers enthralled. But it’s not the plotline we’re discussing today – it’s Keira’s outfits whipping up some serious Christmas outfit inspo.
