eira Knightley today received an OBE, for her services to drama and charity, wearing a Chanel Couture lemon tweed two-piece from the spring 2017 collection.

As a long-standing ambassador, it is unsurprising that Knightley opted for the fashion house for the all-important occasion. It isn't the first time that the brand has dressed her for a key moment in her life - she married husband James Wrighton, who accompanied her to this morning's ceremony, in a tulle Chanel Couture dress and tweed jacket in 2015. Not to mention the many publicity tours and awards ceremonies that she has attended wearing its designs.

Reni Eddo-Lodge On The 'Blackfishing' Phenomenon

Image
we have been besieged by a new female body standard. Big breasts, a dimension deceiving waist, a flat stomach, big thighs and incredibly wide hips reign supreme on the internet. Of course, many women have always looked like this, and a lot of those women happen to be black. But in the last five years, this body shape has become fashionable. It's a far cry from the supermodel standard of the 90s and 2000s. Mega brands like Fashion Nova, popularised by Instagram influencer partnerships (this week it was announced as Google's most-searched fashion brand) model their clothes on slim but curvy women.
