to think Keira Knightley is actually stunning?

I find it v bizarre when people (usually women) go on about how she isn't that attractive really, too thin etc. Surely it is jealousy? Her face is literally perfect. Voice slightly annoying though.

V pretty, but way too thin

violethill · 23/12/2009 13:16

How do you define a 'perfect' face?

I think she's got an interesting face, but from some angles she can look really odd - her face can look very flat. Unusual bone structure. And her figure is truly unattractive ( DH says so too, so this isn't just a female thing). I can think of countless other women who are slim but have some feminine curves, who have far better figures.

I think she's weird looking tbh. esp around the mouth/jaw. Obviously v pretty but odd

LizzyLordsALeaping · 23/12/2009 13:19

She has a very beautiful face, very stunning, I agree.

Bodywise waaay too thin, too androgenous imo. Though I think she is naturally that way, not dieted down to size 0, just naturally waif like.

LastOfTheMulledWine · 23/12/2009 13:20

Literally perfect? What on earth does that mean?

I think she's got a very strange shaped face. Her mouth and jaw are odd and disconcerting.

And I don't think she has an enviable figure at all. DH turns off the television when she's on.

MegSophandEmma · 23/12/2009 13:22

I think she's beautiful yes.

notnowbernard · 23/12/2009 13:23

I would guess that she is naturally thin anyway, but IMO she actually looks underweight

I think that if she is simply 'naturally' thin and not exp an ED (which she has denied, of course) she should maybe make more of an effort to gain some weight for the sake of her health

MadreInglese · 23/12/2009 13:26

YABU, she looks like an alien

< because she got to snog Jonny and Orlando>

MegSophandEmma · 23/12/2009 13:27

Some people who are naturally slim simply can't put on weight. My brother is a skinny bean. Weighs around 11.5 stone and is over 6 ft. He has tried protein shakes, eating junk and having huge portion sized meals. Used to be in the army where lots of weight training took place regularly, but he is still skinny.

mayorquimby · 23/12/2009 13:27

male here.
She's unbelievably good looking.Everything about her is perfect.

hohoholepew · 23/12/2009 13:28

She's pretty but she's always pouting fish like. Too thin as well.

LastOfTheMulledWine · 23/12/2009 13:29

May I suggest the woman that you are looking for is Monica Bellucci. Extraordinarily pretty, stunning figure, can act up a storm, seems to have a good work/life balance and comes across as a genuine, intelligent and likeable woman.

notnowbernard · 23/12/2009 13:29

I would be genuinely interested to know what she eats on a day-to-day basis, though

nothingofthesort · 23/12/2009 13:29

I think she's pretty but a bit odd looking. I don't like her smile.

violethill · 23/12/2009 13:30

Well even if you think she looks good, surely no one can deny that the moment she opens her mouth she screams 'Silly giggly posh girl'!!

Not an attractive trait!

LadyOfTheFlowers · 23/12/2009 13:30

A bit odd looking and a bit skinny.

MadreInglese · 23/12/2009 13:31

and I wouldn't say stunning, but definitely striking looking

She is obviously very slim, but mainly in the torso. Her legs, while obviously slim, are a pretty 'normal' size.

'too thin etc. Surely it is jealousy?'

I would be jealous, yes, if I wanted to look immaciated from time to time.

Say from time to time as I don't know what she looks like atm, but know she is thin and sometimes gets thinner.

HinnyPet · 23/12/2009 13:33

She has two expressions. Vacuous and Cross.

ObsidianBlackbirdMcNight · 23/12/2009 13:33

She's very pretty but her face is not perfect - she has a prominent jaw (not that there's anything wrong with that, but she's not classically beautiful) and her top lip is very thin naturally, she admits to having fillers so no, she's not perfect.

She's also very slender which isn't everyone's cup of tea but she's a lovely clothes horse.

mayorquimby · 23/12/2009 13:34

ah monnica beluscci is unbelievable as well. equally perfect in a completely different way.
I'd still take keira over her though.

msrisotto · 23/12/2009 13:36

I think she is gorgeous too. I hate her for it. Is that kind of what you mean?

hellsbelles · 23/12/2009 13:37

I saw her in a Restaurant once. She really has got a lovely lovely face (and yes I agree the jaw is a bit odd but it works somehow)...but she does personify the expression 'lollipop head' - her head looks way too big for her body - which is very very thin....too much so imo and it didn't look as though it should naturally be that slim (though of course that is just my view from seeing her - I may be quite wrong).

andlipsticktoo · 23/12/2009 13:41

According to a friend's dh I look like her. I am not so sure!

Sadly I am only 5'3" and generously proportioned curvy
