Kiera Knightley has said that she’s happy to star in topless shoots, as long as her image isn’t retouched.
The star’s breasts were enlarged in promotional pictures for the King Arthur film she starred in in 2004, but she’s bitten back about the manipulation of her bod in shoots and said it shouldn’t matter what women look like.
Go Kiera!
Speaking to The Times newspaper about a recent topless shoot she did for Interview magazine, she said: “That [shoot] was one of the ones where I said: ‘OK, I’m fine doing the topless shot so long as you don’t make them any bigger or retouch.’ Because it does feel important to say it really doesn’t matter what shape you are."
She continued: “I think women’s bodies are a battleground and photography is partly to blame. Our society is so photographic now, it becomes more difficult to see all of those different varieties of shape.”
We wish Kiera wasn’t so pretty and clever. It doesn’t half make the rest of us look bad.

We're quite glad this picture stops above the waist. We see a scary bit of embellishment peeking through on these trews...

Ahhh, those midriff-showing tops from the '00s. Not the wisest fashion choice we (or Keira) ever made...

When you have to rely on a belt to hold up your dress, it's probably easier to just get the next size down

The material of this dress seems to have caused severe teabag-boob syndrome

Is this really the best outfit Keira could dig out for a Pride And Prejudice promo? Elizabeth Bennett would not be proud

Is that belt REALLY necessary?

Uh-oh. The Sundance Film Festival of 2005 was NOT a good time in KK's fashion life

Believe it or not, Matthew Williamson created this. But he didn't tell you to wear it Keira

When we first saw this photo, we sincerely hoped it was a case of Keira getting a bit chilly on a film set and grabbing anything she could to keep cosy. It wasn't

This ensemble could kinda be classed as acceptable. But as for those boots? There's just no excuse

An entire outfit from a charity shop bargain bin. Good work, Knightley
