Keira recycled her wedding dress for a gala
Keira is used to making a statement on the red carpet, and showed off her thrifty side when she recycled her Chanel wedding dress for a gala. However, she revealed that her fun night out ended with her dress being stained with wine. "It's now got red wine spilled down the front because the last time I wore it my friend went like this," she said, jutting out her elbows. "And now it's everywhere," the actress told the Daily Telegraph during an interview. "I didn't quite realise the extent of it until I got home. It's quite impressively splattered. But, hey, a good night is a good night and when a dress has had its time, maybe it's had its time. "I'm pretty sure I can get it out but, if I can't, I'm happy with the memory of a good night and the story of how the dress got destroyed."
