In June 2014, Keira Knightley was spotted out and about in SoHo for the press conference of her new movie, Begin Again. Like a modern-day Audrey Hepburn, the British beauty was a breath of fresh air in head-to-toe Prada.

This is one of the most impressive day looks we’ve seen in a long time, and it will surely be on our best-dressed books.

We adore the pale blue hue of the collared frock, which exudes an effortlessly sophisticated and feminine charm. Keira epitomized elegance, flawlessly accessorized with a Prada cabochon and rhinestone raso clutch, paired with sleek Prada metallic pumps.

Not everyone loved the actress’ shoe choice, however. Some critics would have preferred a more sophisticated pair of heels, but we think it was a clever modern twist to her timeless-looking ensemble. Her pumps added a nice element of surprise to the classic dress.

The Prada metallic pumps are unavailable online, but we found you a couple of great alternatives at Shopbop:
