Many celebrities use their fame for good. Some influence their following through health and fitness, some through daily encouragement, and some—and perhaps most commonly—through charity work.
Considering Keira Knightley doesn’t have a social media presence, we’re not surprised she chose the third option. In September 2017, she helped kick off the BGC Charity Day in London.
Not that this is her first involvement with charitable organizations — the actress has been active in humanitarian work since 2004.

Keira arrived stylishly in one of Gucci’s iconic floral dresses. The high-end piece showed Gucci’s exceptional tailoring skills, from the perfectly structured shoulders and pressed collar to the neat cuffs.
We can’t help but wish that Keira’s stylist ironed out her skirt more, but that’s a minute detail. Overall, we love this look on the actress.
Keira completed the ensemble with a pair of studded Tabitha Simmons “Julieta” sandals, adding a dash of quirkiness.

Keira went straight to work as she arrived, answering phones for hopeful charities that needed a little support. She even had two phones held up to her ears at one point.
Other celebrities, including Elizabeth Hurley and English comedian Alan Carr, joined the actress. By midday, the BGC Charity Day had raised more than two million pounds and continued taking calls until 5 p.m.
