Keira Knightley may have just signed on to play Tinker Bell in an upcoming Peter Pan prequel film, but her latest role for Chanel is a little more sophisticated.
The 25-year-old face of Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle fragrance reveals that she plays a sort of 'superwoman' in the perfume's latest ad campaign.
A teaser of the new video, to be released in full next week, shows Knightley in a beige catsuit standing next to a vintage motorbike, while a voice-over from the actress talks about the campaign.
Speaking about the ad, she said: "Nobody said exactly what it was going to be like.
"I knew that it was something about a motorbike, and I knew that it was going to be beige. They said, ‘Sort of catsuit,’ and I said, 'OK.'
"It was completely unexpected. It’s a Chanel superwoman, I think."
The video shows Knightley leaning against the Ducati bike, which matches her beige catsuit, while she waits to start filming.
The actress filmed the campaign back in September, when she was pictured zooming around the Place de la Concord in Paris.
The action-themed campaign is something of a departure from previous Chanel ads, including her previous Coco Mademoiselle ones as well as Nicole Kidman and Audrey Toutou's Chanel No. 5 campaigns, which have had a primarily romantic, whimsical style.
The actress, who has been the face of Chanel since 2006, is currently starring in West End play 'The Children’s Hour' with Mad Men's Elisabeth Moss.
