She's famous for her wholesome and quintessentially British style. And Keira Knightley showed how to turn an otherwise sensible dress into something more alluring as she arrived at Mario Testino's star-studded birthday party at the Chiltern Firehouse in London on Wednesday. Surrounded by other stars - including Kate Moss, Naomi Campbell and Lara Stone - wearing extravagant outfits, Keira's all-white dress and tastefully chaste dress got heads turning.

The 29-year-old actress took a frock that could have worked well on a summer's day, and turned it into something evening-appropriate with her metallic heels and sharp black Burberry trench coat worn on her shoulders. The pure white dress featured large box pleats that appeared to be a little bit sheer, as the star's legs were almost visible through the fabric.

Keira's eye-catching gown was completed with delicate gold buttons down the front to the bottom, and a large, sharp-edged Peter Pan-style collar. Adding a touch of night-time glamour to proceedings, the Begin Again star wore her designer overcoat like a cape, the fashion house's famous check print just visible.

She held her patent black clutch bag tightly, and she teamed the entire look with shiny, pointed court shoes. Showing off her natural beauty, the Oscar-nominated actress kept her make-up minimal but went all-out with her hair style, taming her glossy brunette locks into loose, tumbling curls. Accompanying her to the showbiz bash was her husband James Righton, who followed her into the London celebrity haunt.
Keira is currently busy promoting her new film with Benedict Cumberbatch The Imitation Game, but took a night off from her movie duties to rub shoulders with her celebrity pals.

Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell looked resplendent in stunning frocks as they flanked the birthday boy outside the popular venue.
Kate wore a sheer red Flamenco-style dress, that showed off her leopard-print body underneath, teaming the glamorous look with tightly-curled hair.
Meanwhile Naomi nailed disco-diva elegance in a floor-length metallic and glittery gown that featured a daring deep-plunging neckline that hovered just above her navel.
Dutch model Lara Stone was also in attendance at the fashion photographer's bash along with husband David Walliams.
The couple cut a stylish pair, but Lara stood out in her fun and flirty LBD that showed off her model legs, while wearing her long blonde locks curled over one shoulders.
