From rising star to leading lady, Keira Knightley continues to inspire us both on-screen and off, whether playing strong female protagonists, speaking out about the unfair demands of motherhood, or inadvertently giving masterclasses in elegance while walking some (very select) red carpets.

As she approaches her 38th birthday this month, Knightley discusses her interest in the way women are perceived as they grow older via her recent Harper’s Bazaar cover interview. With the widespread judgement surrounding famous women who age naturally – and those who seemingly don’t, she questions: “How are we, culturally, meant to age?”.

In our exclusive video with Knightley, in which she reveals the contents of her beauty bag, the actress reflects upon her relationship with anti-ageing tools, how she adopted her signature make-up style, and what she hopes her daughters (Edie, seven and Delilah, four), grow-up to interpret the notion of ‘beauty’ to be.
