'Pride and Prejudice' star Keira Knightley has been named as the new face of Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle perfume.

A spokesperson for Chanel said: "Keira's elegance, beauty and modernity are but a few of the qualities that parallel the iconic faces featured in the legendary Chanel fragrance campaigns, including Mademoiselle Chanel as the first face of No 5 in 1937, followed by Catherine Deneuve and most recently Nicole Kidman."

Chanel artistic director Jacques Helleu added: "Keira Knightley is a bright, young actress who has already made her mark in a diverse portfolio of films, including her Oscar-nominated performance in 'Pride And Prejudice'."

Other faces to promote the range of perfumes include Vanessa Paradis for Coco, Kate Moss for Coco Mademoiselle and Anna Mouglalis for Allure Sensuelle.
