Unlike most women in the world, I believe that Keira Knightley has the kind of face where she could literally do anything with her hair, and it wouldn’t matter at all. With that face, you could even go bald and you would still look stunning. So it doesn’t really matter that Keira chopped off her longish (shoulder-length?) tresses into this new bob. It reminds me of something though… what is it? Is it Victoria Beckham? Yes, I think so. This hair is very “Posh”.

Hair ye, hair: Keira Knightley has chopped off her hair. The sexy Brit, 25, debuted a sleek new 20s-style bob Tuesday at the Chanel spring/summer 2011 show during Paris Fashion Week.

“I had my hair bobbed about a month ago, then I had it freshly trimmed again this morning,” she told UK InStyle. The new ‘do wasn’t for a movie role.

“I did it for myself,” she insisted.

Next up for Knightley, who has described this year as a “whirlwind”? She can currently be seen in the indie Never Let Me Go. The actress — who earned a best supporting actress nod at the 2010 Laurence Olivier Award for her West End role in The Misanthrope this year — also wants more stage time.

“I was very lucky,” she said, “and I’d love to do more theatre!”

It looks good – I prefer this to the longer hair she had, just because she didn’t seem to know what to do with her longer hair. Some women just find shorter hair easier – I am not one of those women. For me, my long hair is the easiest style ever, and one I’ve had for years. I could never rock this bob style – when I had something similar a decade ago, I felt naked and self-conscious.

By the way, I love that this is one of the few Keira stories out there – she’s really done a great job of talking herself out of the limelight for a year or two. She was getting too overexposed, and appearing on too many magazines, and it looks like she knew it and took a step back. Good for her.
