Have you twigged who Keira Knightley looks like yet?

If ever a role were made to measure for Keira Knightley, this is surely it.

The waif-like actress posed with slicked-back hair in a tribute to the sixties style icon Twiggy.

Miss Knightley, 22, adopted enormous false eyelashes to complete the resemblance to the model who is still going strong in the 21st century.

But of course her strongest asset in the Twiggy lookalike stakes is her lack of padding in the chest department.

The sixties-inspired images were shot for the Canadian magazine Strut.

Miss Knightley has complained in the past that her beauty draws attention away from her acting abilities. There are, however, compensations.

In 2006 she signed a £600,000 deal to become the face of Chanel and she also has a £1million contract with the royal jeweller Asprey.
