Keira Knightley hasn’t even given birth yet, but the Elle UK cover story is all baby talk!
The Imitation Game star poses for photographer Mariano Vivanco in what looks like a Chanel romper and pearl-embellished sandals.

But our favorite image is the one of the pregnant actress lounging in a striped beige knit Chanel dress with some sideboob popping through!
There’s also a black-and-white shot of her in a floppy hat looking thoughtfully into the distance.
Very Fashion with a capital F!
And although there’s no sign of a baby bump on the cover (her leg seems to conceal most of it), the 29-year-old looks fierce with tousled hair and a bright red lip!
In fact, she even talks about how lipstick can be like “armour,” saying:
“Lipstick is an armour to the world. My mum had a thing when we were growing up, if she’d had a sh*t day or if something had gone wrong, she’d put her red lipstick on. I still abide by that. If you’re doing something hard, a really vibrant colour is a good thing. Lips are the easiest thing to put colour on. The nose doesn’t work so well ├óΓé¼ΓÇ£ it’s a tricky look. Lips, however: quite good.”
The mom-to-be also shares the funny story behind her name:
“I was meant to be named ├óΓé¼╦£Kiera’, after a Russian ice skater who was on the TV one day. My dad fancied her and nicked her name for me. But it was my mum who went to register my birth, and she accidentally spelled ├óΓé¼╦£ei’ instead of ├óΓé¼╦£ie’ because my mum’s crap at spelling. Apparently, when she came back he said: “WHAT THE F*CK? You’ve spelt her name wrong!” What were they going to do, though? Once it’s on the piece of paper, it’s on the piece of paper. And that’s me. A spelling error.”
Somehow we doubt Keira will make the same mistake when naming her future son or daughter. Ha!
Finally, talk turns to fashion, and the actress advocates wearing whatever the f*ck you want:
“Break the rules. I’ve always hated the idea that you should be wearing this or that, because it makes me feel like I’m getting everything wrong. I hated it at school, and I don’t want it as an adult. If you want to wear a f*cking flowerpot on your head and that makes you happy, then wear a f*cking flowerpot on your head.”
