Is Keira Knightley Finally Gaining?
September 24th, 2007 by Rian | Filed under Celebrity Weight Gain, Keira Knightley.(A big “thank you! to person who sent me an email tip about these photos).
Is it possible that Keira Knightley is finally gaining weight? She was spotted in London last week with Rupert, wearing a dress and showing off her legs.
Since this is the first time I can recall seeing Keira’s legs, I can’t help but wonder if all this time we have assumed she was too thin when really the whole time, she was carrying the majority of her weight in her leg and thigh area?
What do you all think?
In any case, she looks a LOT healthier here.
Her legs look great!
It looks like a photoshopwork! her upperbody and someonelses legs in the first pic!
Hmmm could be….
She has always had bigger legs and a tiny upper body!
It might just be the angle…
She’s always been this way - flat abs, thin arms, skinny upper body - but with bigger thighs and legs in comparison. However, she has lost weight in recent years (earlier she looked less bony in her upper body, but still super slim) but she’s just a bottom heavy, natural skinny.
I think she’s been like this the whole time. I’m the same. No matter how much weight I lose, my legs always remain bigger than my torso.
i think she has been this weight all along. i am the same as her i think. my top half looks almost emaciated and people are always telling me i look ill, but when they see my bottom half aswell, its a very different story!
Yep, ALWAYS been like this!! If you google around a little you’ll find other pictures where it’s evident.
Her upper body/chest area is like freakishly thin when compared to her legs. Even her arms aren’t as thin. Her chest frame is just very small.
In fact I think she stays super-slim just so her legs look decent.
no she’s got one of those body types that is small on top and large on bottm.. she’s always had big legs.. she just hids them under those baggy pants she wears
I hope noone is thinking her legs are fat though. Just not as skinny as the rest of her body. She is built this way…
keira ALWAYS looked like this..
Implant candidate!
She does not have big legs, but definitely puts on weight there- she’s pear-shaped.
I never thought she was too thin, I didn’t know what the big deal was when everyone was screaming anorexia when she obviously looked healthy.
Kiera has always been this way. I have the same exact body and people tell me I look way too skinny on top, but I have a big booty and thick legs!
she’s never really changed much at all. I think she is a bit too thin, and I think she intentially dresses in a way that shows off some areas and hides others to emphasize it to get attention. Like that gold pirates premeir dress last year, showed off her skinny collerbone, arms and chest, but everything else was under loose fabric.
she has always been bottom heavy and it’s always all over the comment section… i don’t know how anyone can act surprised if they frequent this site.
Beautiful! Why does she hide her legs? And I do think she has recently gained, her arms were very bony before. They look to be less stickly. Whatever she is doing, she looks so much better!
I’m SO rolling my eyes right now!~ I’ve been telling you all this the whole time!!!!!!!! This is Keira’s body type!!!! LOL. She’s very tiny boned up top, then she is heavier on the bottom half. *SIGH*. Oh well. Now there is tangible photographic evidence to back me up, so you all know that I’m not being ridiculous. I adore Keira’s face - she has this lovely bone structure, lucky girl!
I agree with Amelia**** - she always had bigger legs than one would expect. Quite standard for her body type, really.
I love Kiera, and I must say that my friends and I religioiusly review this website each day–anywho to the point! Kiera has never been underweight–she has always carried her weight in her leg/arm area–she has a petite waistline however, which is what most ppl tend to look at first when judging someone’s weight. Kiera has always had those rockin’ set of legs–pay attention ppl!
Apart from the pictures of her in the red and white swim suit which created a mass criticism reaction (fairly legitimate), Ive personaly always seen Keira Knightley with quite a heavy leg/thigh area, if not a bit disproportioned. As a matter of fact she is hiding this area almost permanently. Sometimes what we can’t see has more meaning that what we perceive at first sight. I can see why she said she wasnt confident about her body. I don’t see her being as influenced by the hollywood standards as other rising celebrities. Hope she keeps it that way.
Yup, I’ve always known Keira is one of those women who carry all their weight in their legs/thighs, but have tiny upper bodies. Kind of like Mischa Barton.
Yeah,she’s got massive legs compared to the rest of her body.Bummer..
She is def on her way to appearing on my radar. 20 more pounds and she’ll be a small blip. 40 more pounds and I might have to drop everything and prepare for this attack.
Yeah, always knew she was a pear shape. Always liked her cos I’m the same
And apparently she’s hidden her legs pretty well, if so many people didn’t notice. Gives me hope.
Come on, now. PLEASE do a Jessica Biel post. It’s been ages! She’s a perfect role model with her fit body, she needs to be posted to balance out all the skinny bodies on this site.
I agree. Her lower body has always been bigger than her upper body, but by no means are her legs fat. It just looks odd to see such a tiny top half on a normal looking lower half.
no way shes gained. its a weird angle. everyone’s thighs do that-even skinny peoples’.
You’re right, I can’t remember the last time I saw her bare her legs. But I don’t see any noticeable weight gain - she’s always carried weight in her legs, remember the first Pirates of the Caribbean premiere when she was wearing a top that exposed her midriff and a pair of jeans? Her upper body looked great, but her legs looked stubby and thick in comparison.
That isn’t to say I don’t think she looks good, but I’ve never thought she was underweight or unhealthy. I have the same problem, my arms even at a normal weight look thinner than most people’s. All my weight is concentrated in my torso. People say it’s “weird” how skinny/fat she looks in particular areas of her body, but few people have fat distributed evenly all over their body.
she ain’t got no boobs.
her legs always have been fat it is just this type of body she is not anorexic or anything
She’s got funny-looking legs, but it could just be the lighting. My legs always look weird when the lighting’s off. But I think Keira is just bottom-heavy and she usually hides her legs so she looks pretty thin.
I think she looks great!
same as katie holmes — ridiculously thin arms and torso and bottom heavy. i think that’s easier to hide and pull off than those of us with the fleshy arms, skinny legs. btw - keira looks really pretty in these pics
She was carrying more weight in her legs, yeah, but she was still a bit too skinny even taking that into consideration. She looks pretty good in that pic.
ive always known that she’s been a little bottom heavy.
but she does look healthier in the face in my view so perhaps it is a weight gain
she looks beautiful but could do with some more meat on her bones

She has very muscular legs, and I do not believe the pictures are photo-shopped. Have you guys seen that soccer movie she did a couple years ago “Bend it like Beckham”? Well, she has a very small upper body and huge muscular legs. I guess when her legs are covered up, all you see is her tiny waist and crane-like neck! I hope people will stopped bugging her about her weight, she looks great!
her legs did look smaller last january in those bikini shots with rupert. i think she may have put on a little weight, not enough to notice in her upper bod. she had no cellulite in those bikini pics; i think she’ll be prone to it in the years to come because she has the body type that get’s it.
I am the same i could starve myself for a year and i would be thin at the top and heavy at the bottom.
It always suprises me when I see her legs they are a lot bigger than the rest of her I have noticed before then I forgot… Has she had plastic surgery??
she is NOT gaining weight.
must be hard for her to decide what to wear… if she hides her weak points (ie thicker legs) it can be almost TOO successful, since the rest of her is so, well, fat-free. I’d hate to have to flaunt my most hated features just so I didn’t get crucified by the press.
She looks really pretty here - fresh and casual.
She is pear-shaped. Her lower body is relatively heavier than her upper body. Many women are like that.
I have to say- I’ve seeb Kiera in real life and she’s very thin on top and not so thin on her bottom half. I have a feeling this is why she gets so angry when people call her anorexic.
she has a mischa body type small good up top bottom half not so much
It’s impossible for her to go from anorexic one week to “healthy” the next…obviously clothes and camera angles make a huge difference. If she’s gained any weight, it wouldn’t be noticeable yet.
Yeah she just carries her weight in her legs. My body type is a lot like hers. I’m a runner, so i have very little body fat- i have skinny arms and my legs have muscle on them so they look bigger in comparison.
She just gains on her bottem half first. I loose in my upper body first too, so I can understand this.
I don’t think she has feminine legs to be walking around in sandals.She’d look better on heels.
That’s what I’ve been saying all along!
Keira has definitely always been this way. Her body type is very pear-shaped, and she appears to gain weight only on the bottom portion of her body. She typically dresses to flatter her upper body, and emphasize her “thinness” on top. If she were really so annoyed/upset about the “anorexic” comments from the media, she should dress in a way to flaunt both her upper and lower body - that way people would obviously think she is not thin whatsoever - but very normal and healthy.
as far as i can remember she’s ALWAYS had fit but normal looking legs and this long scrawny plank of a torso. it’s just the way she’s built. i do think she’s been thinner in the past year or so than she was at first since her face looks more gaunt to me than back in “bend it like beckham”, but nothing drastic, like 5 or 6 lbs
if you look at pictures of keira even before this whole weight loss thing she has always had a bigger bottom half. like in the vogue issue she was on the cover of.
we have the EXACT same body type and it SUCKS!
this is like me… i’m REALLY small upper body with a 23 inch waist, but i have athletic legs. I’m pear shape, but if you saw just my upper body you’d think i was EDing it badly!
Hmm, didn’t know she had such a big bottom half! Thought she was really skinny, skinny legs and everything, but she isn’t that skinny..
wow, if I was keira and saw all these comments i’d definitely start to starve myself…
thank god you’re no famous and don’t have the whole world commenting on how thick your legs are…
I thik she looks good, and thin!
Look at the Photos from January, and even later months this year in the archives—-her legs were very thin.
bottom heavy
In my opinion, she looks to have gained a little bit, and it looks very good on her. It’s noticeable in her leg/thigh area and also in her face. Maybe she has that ‘pear’ body type, I’ve often seen her in A-line dresses showing off her upper body and hiding the lower, maybe that’s why she’s often appeared so skinny. Anyway, I think the media should stop hassling her. I’ve heard rumours from an interview in Allure magazine that she felt very hurt by the comments on her body from the media and that she hated premieres and such because she knew she would be under such huge body focus in the press. Keira is a beautiful girl. Leave her alone!
She has similar legs to Katie Holmes I think.
Weightwise there is no change.
shes always been bottom heavy and carried her weight on her legs. iv seen some bikini pics of her a good fw months ago and it was the same story in them. i dont think shes gained at all though. it just goes to show whst clever dressing can do. no girl would draw attention to the part of her she dousnt like- hence all the leg covering.
no we have seen her when she lost weight a while ago on here with dresses, skirts and bikinis she is obviously back to her usual weight..
Love u K
Mk lover, her legs are GREAT
shes such a beaut and shes british like me lol. i think she would be even more gorg with a few extra pounds…
Looks like a pear shape…though she is still drastically underweight
She has always had this body type. Her legs were always big compared to her top. She does look more healthy in these pictures.
She’s bottom heavy and isn’t dressed to disguise that. I think she’s about the same.
She’s the same weight. I can relate to her situation. I stay quite thin all over so my thighs and legs look average size. Just her body structure. I feel her pain.
I think her legs look shapely and toned. A good push-up/padded bra would help balance her upper body with her lower body. Good for her for not going the usual implants route.
Why are some women against other women having breast augmentation?
she does look big in the thighs - her body is out of proportion - from her waist up it’s very small - but waist down it’s bigger - i think she’ll always look a little unusual (in a good way)
That’s an eye-opener! I never realized that she had a normal lower body. She has great legs, it’s just that I always assumed they would be stick thin to match her upper body.
COSSEY-I think if a woman wants to have implants then she should go for it, but - and here’s the BIG BUT- with the understanding that it may not necessarily make her feel better about herself. Sometimes it’s the head and not the boobs that need an overhaul. That and the idea of something fake in ones body scares me, but that’s just me.
Typical pear shape, just liek me! She’s always been like this, quite thin on top, bigger on teh bottom. I’ve never classed her as skinny!
it could possibly be the angle where the pict was taken. d camera might be shooting from below..
If you listed the 100 most attractive women, (the body being part, but not all of the criteria), wouldn’t at least 75 of them be basically pear-shaped? A 5′7″ 110 pound pear would look different at 125—heavier towards the bottom—and probably more attractive that way.
The pear shape is a good shape medically—I do not quite understand why it is so often cited here almost as a put down. 110, and stick thin works for some, a hint of steatopygy works well for others.
ValerieSara…I appreciate your comment and I totally agree. But I don’t understand what a big butt has to do with it!
her arms and legs are fatter. it looks terrible.
implants can make you sick dude…or give you frankennipple….(tarareid) there are no 100% guar. in plastic surgery.
i cant imagine she would be one that would get them…
but it would even out this birdchested mess. at least a push up or something…they are swinging low!
C0SSEY:Well, Cosey, it goes like this:
HAHAHAHAHA!!!YOU’RETOFUNNY!!!HAHAHAHAHA
One of those bras that Paris wears; I don’t know where she’d get one of those, but that would fill her out and balance body pronto. And she wouldn’t have to wear wicked low-cut tops with this bra thingy, either, lest she looks like a slut or something. That bra just might be the ticket here.
Paris wears a bra?
Camoon, we have always knew that. She hasn´t gained.
Paris wears a bra?
Are you kidding? She carries three MIT engineering graduates on her possee’s payroll to get it just right—
Looks like lots o’ people here have tits on the tete today!
(Silly me already posted this on the Hayden P. thread by mistake.)
I just saw the movie Domino last night and she was in it. I’m inclined to agree with you that (at least some) of her weight is carried in her legs. the movie, towards the end, has a ene with her swimming
she is too boring!
Don’t worry Jodi. You might be a bit scattered today, but MY GOD you look fabulous!
I sense another Edan/Cossey/Jodi sandwich!!
She is so fugly and needs to gain some weight…she just looks gross and pale.
It must be some deli where they make that. : )
she looks weird :/
i think its mainly muscle cos u can tell from the knees
thats what i have ben posting for the last tow years
oh, she’s always been that way. very chunky (and not very shapely) legs in comparison to her upper body. like everyone else has said, she usually just dresses better
she has always been this way, it makes her quite attractive actually
and i would love to meet some of these other posters that claim to have the same type of body, yummy
She has the same body structure as KATIE HOLMES, i think.
oh, my god.
those legs are massive!
i’ve seen unproportional bodies but that’s awful!
At last!!! Her body is always the same size. And her face is always gorgeous.
She’s always been normal. Her small boobies
Where the hell did those breasts come from? Side fat? I don’t think so?
I don’t understand her body at all. I don’t think she’s normal in her eating patterns because it’s changing rapidly week by week.
Keira has always been pear-shaped. She wears these things that show off her upper body and disguise everything below her waist but if you see her in Atonement for example you can see she’s a natural pear.
I think she looks great. She’s just naturally very thin up top and carries all her weight on her thighs. I did wonder for a while if she was trying to lose weight off her thighs and it was instead coming off her top helf?! (You can’t spot-reduce fat, love!)
In any case, very slim but her shape makes me think it’s pretty natural for her to be that way and I doubt she’s under her recommended BMI.
Wow…I always wondered about Keira…but now she has my respect. The picture up top looks just like me, except she has more muscular toned legs. It’s frustrating. Too thin up top, normal/heavy on the bottom. If I gain 20 lbs, I still look too thin on top, and then I look heavy in the face and legs. I’m toward the upper but normal area in my weight range, but I’ve been told my BMI is too high, and yet I have bony ribs, hips and back. I guess that means people like us with this body type need to stay “too thin” on top to be healthy. It doesn’t make much sense. People come in different shapes and sizes and there’s only so much you can do to change that, at any weight.
the reason she looks so much thinner is because she has no bust. When you don’t have a heavy upper layer then you look a lot thinner when you are skinny. Even if she was like 130 pounds l(ets say)…she would still look thinner then most actresses because of her small fame (small boned) and her lack of bust. I wish I had less bust area because my shirts would have a cleaner sleeky look on me.
I don’t think its fat… On the side along photo, you can see her muscles are tensed, and there’s not much fat covering them. She does so many action films, I wouldn’t be suprised if all that running/horseriding etc had left her with larger calf muscles…
I’d prefer reading in my native language, because my knowledge of your languange is no so well. But it was interesting! Look for some my links:
She’s built like I am-very think and tiny-boned up top, with weight in the leg area. I think she looks great.
