While the light-catching glints of metallic eye shadow seen on the red carpet earlier this week felt right for a cold snap, **Keira Knightley’**s bold color statement at the premiere of her new film in New York last night offered another way to brighten up a dark fall night. Picking up on the pink tones of her printed Dolce Gabbana dress, the Imitation Game star’s matte fuchsia mouth—pressed on using Chanel’s Rouge Allure Velvet matte lipstick in La Diva—felt surprisingly romantic, thanks to a wash of rosy blush and a well-placed flick of liquid black eyeliner. Proof that an unexpected lip color can breath new life into any signature look.
