"Other faces include Vanessa Paradis for Coco, Kate Moss for Coco Mademoiselle and Anna Mouglalis for Allure Sensuelle."
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."
