Keira Knightley's Valentino Dress Just Got Upstaged by an Umbrella

Updated on Oct 9, 2014 at 12:25 PM

We're sure the fine folks at Valentino were pretty excited yesterday. Keira Knightley hit two red carpet events in two gorgeous Valentino dresses. The first, a red printed dress straight off last month's Spring 2015 runway, and for the London Film Festival's opening night gala, a tiered gold dress from the fashion house's Fall 2014 Haute Couture collection.

We're also sure, however, that they weren't expecting such a gorgeous gown to get upstaged by something so pedestrian. But when some typical London rain made a cameo on the red carpet, Keira — along with her Imitation Game costar and chronic gentleman Benedict Cumberbatch — took post under an umbrella. And it really did steal the spotlight.

Keep reading to see Keira (and Ben!) working the unexpected accessory, and while you're at it, you might as well zoom in on that Valentino.
