In 2005, the British actress walked the red carpet at the British Independent Film Awards in London in a tight white dress. An outfit that replaced another garment, which had dropped only a few minutes before the event.
On the red carpet, everything is beautiful, smooth, perfect. Rarely does one ask the question of what could have happened before. And yet. On November 30, 2005, minutes before the British Independent Film Awards ceremony, Keira Knightley had to deal with a destabilizing incident. Initially, it was in a Hervé Léger dress that the actress should have walked the red carpet.
But the garment decided otherwise. "I came out and she split from bottom to top. My whole body was out in the open," James Righton's wife told the People site. Panic on board, it was absolutely necessary to find a solution. Keira Knightley therefore swapped the damaged outfit for another Hervé Léger model that had also been delivered to her for the event: a tight-fitting white midi dress with a high neck.

The Pirates of the Caribbean star added: "Thank goodness it didn't happen on the red carpet because it could have happened at any point in the evening and I was incredibly lucky."
