If you're feeling kind of blah on this Wednesday afternoon, I have the perfect pick-me-up in the form of Keira Knightley starring as Coco Chanel in a new film directed by Karl Lagerfeld! See, aren't you already feeling a little better at the mention of Chanel? Thought so. Let me set the scene: The year is 1913, and Keira plays Coco Chanel, who has just opened an adorable little Chanel hat store. The 13-minute film, set in Deauville, France, shows one fashionable lady after the next visiting the little shop and, of course, wanting to take every topper home. There are model cameos, including Lindsey Wixson and Stella Tennant. But I just loved seeing Keira's interpretation of Coco, and now I find myself googling hats (although I have no occasion to wear one!). Watch the film and then talk back in the comments. Do you love Keira as Coco? *This post has been updated.
