After teasing us with 45 seconds of pure Coco-liciousness, Karl Lagerfeld's complete short film about Coco Chanel starring Keira Knightley is available for our viewing pleasure!

Shot in black and white, the film is set in Deauville where Coco had her first store, selling leisure jersey outfits and dealing with snotty society ladies.

In addition to Knightley, the film stars such fashion world royalty as supermodel Stella Tennant, French actress Clotilde Hesme, model Lindsey Wixson, and Unkle Karl fave Tallulah Harlech.

Also, there are SUBTITLES!

Enjoy the 18-minute film (above) and if the dialogue seems a bit AWK, it's because Karl gave his actors the script minutes before he said, "Action!"

But of course! Ha!

Oui, c'est parfait!

Keira Knightley is Coco Chanel in a new short film, directed by none other than Karl Lagerfeld!

The film, Once Upon a Time…, is Unkle Karl's "invented reality" of Chanel and also stars models, Tallula Harlech and Lindsey Wixson in the black and white "improvised" piece.

From the trailer (above), it looks fascinating, and we're all about watching pretty people in pretty clothes!

The film is set to debut in Singapore on May 8.

There’s nothing like working with your friend to bring out the best in you.

Rika magazine knows this, so when they booked Keira Knightley to cover their eighth issue, they also got her friend Emily Hope to get behind the lens!

They aren’t the most inspired shots ever, but they capture the actress in a casually elegant light while she wears ensembles from Lanvin and Chanel.

But after seeing those recycled photos from Marie Claire, these are definitely a welcome sight!

We just wish there were more!

Ch-ch-check out the spread (below).

Recycled cover alert!

The peeps at Marie Claire UK couldn't be bothered to get creative for their May cover with Keira Knightley.

Instead, they used the exact same pic from the March issue of American Marie Claire, which is a shame because they had plenty of other options, like pics from the spread or even outtakes!

Guess some art directors were feeling kind of lazy! LOLz!

But just in case you didn't see the spread the first time around and missed out on Keira posing in Balenciaga, Chanel, Gucci, and Valentino, you can go ahead and grab a copy of this issue.

This could be the greatest thing ever!

Keira Knightley will take direction from Karl Lagerfeld as she plays the role of the legendary Coco Chanel in a short film to celebrate the 100-year anniversary of the brand's first ever store in Deauville, France.

The short will then be screened during the Chanel Cruise runway presentation taking place in Singapore in May.

Oh, la la!

With Unkle Karl at the helm, the finished product is bound to be entertaining at the very least.

And we all know Keira's got the acting chops to bring Mademoiselle Coco to life.

Fasten your seatbelts–it's going to be a very chic ride!

Will someone think of the childrenz!?!?

The UK's Advertising Standards Authority has deemed Keira Knightley's Chanel commercial unsuitable for children after receiving a single complaint from a viewer.

Apparently the Coco Mademoiselle spot, which features the British actress unzipping her clothes during a boudoir photo shoot, ran during a daytime showing of Ice Age 2 prompting the viewer to make the call.

After reviewing the ad, the ASA has now received the same fate as Beyoncé's fragrance commercial, and will only be shown during adult programming.

Fair enough.

Check out the ad (above) and tell us if U think the ASA made the right decision!

Keira Knightley may not be crazy about the English monarchy, but she could easily pass for a royal herself.

Just look at that bone structure!

The 27-year-old Brit covers the March issue of Marie Claire magazine looking regal in some of the season's finest designer creations.

We especially love the emphasis on ruffles in the teal Gucci top and black & white Balenciaga flamenco skirt.

Keira also rocks
