Keira Knightley Storms NYC

This time, she left her pirate sword home, but Keira Knightley still stormed the red carpet in New York Wednesday night for the Big Apple premiere of her new movie, 'The Duchess.'



In 'The Duchess', Keira plays the role of Georgiana, the Duchess of Devonshire, who was the distant relative to the late Princess Diana. Much like in her 'Pirates of the Caribbean' roles, Keira wears many elaborate period costumes in this movie too, including a two-foot high wig!

Keira's co-stars include hunkyDominic Cooper and Ralph Fiennes. Dominic plays her on-screen lover and Ralph her on-screen husband.

'The Duchess' is scheduled to hit theaters on September 19th.
