Keira Knightley dazzles in black at Toronto premiere of Anna Karenina By MIKE LARKIN (MAIL ON LINE)

She has been lavished with praise for her performance in Tolstoy adaptation Anna Karenina.

But Keira Knightley was receiving attention of a different kind when she stole the show at the Toronto International Film Festival première by wearing a stunning black dress.

The 27-year-old actress looked fabulous in the lacy number, which flattered her famously svelte figure.

But she was not the only person who lit up the carpet with her presence.

For her co-star Jude Law, who plays her cuckolded husband Alexei in the film, hammed it up by striking a jokily self-indulgent pose.,

Actress Olivia Williams added another dash of glamour to the event by appearing in a green velvet dress, while Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Domhnall Gleeson also put in an appearance.

Anna Karenina Red Carpet Video (DIY)

Last night saw the World Premiere of Joe Wright's stunning take on Anna Karenina. The director of Atonement, Pride & Prejudice and last year's ace Eurothriller Hanna arrived with his stars Keira Knightley, Jude Law and Aaron Taylor-Johnson, as well as supporting cast members Matthew Macfadyen, Olivia Williams and Alicia Vikander. Addressing the crowd, he revealed how he and Knightley first discussed Tolstoy's classic novel when they were making Atonement, but added "Keira know each other so well, I'm not which are my ideas and which are hers!" With Wright directing Knightley to her first Oscar nomination, he very touchingly told us, "She's more than a muse, she's a collaborator, and that's far more important."

Matthew Macfadyen, Keira Knightley, Jude Law: Pictures from the Anna Karenina Premiere

Anna Karenina - a review by FRONT ROW REVIEWS

(ANOTHER SPECIAL MENTION FOR MATTHEW MACFADYEN)

Casting wise, Knightly is wonderful as Karenina. She continues to play the pouty, dainty woman but from film to film, the women that she plays grow in strength, and even (if you permit me the pleasure), she has a slight tinge of Greta Garbo (who herself played Karenina) about herself where she can illustrate everything she is thinking through her eyes and her mouth – rather than having to say everything. She is the perfect example of fetishistic scopophilia, as theorised by Laura Mulvey. Parts of Knightly’s face becomes so entranced with emotions, that the audience concentrates solely on her lips, her eyes, her cheeks and they represent the rest of her body. Jude Law plays an interesting role within the film because we are so busy concentrating on the growing relationship of Anna and Vronsky, that we don’t really take the time to notice the angst and fire growing within her husband, Alexei. He tries, at first to forgive her, her misgivings but as she continues to pull away, he continues to fight until the end and Law is a constant reminder of this throughout the film.

The reminder of the cast is filled with recognisable faces (many of whom fill me with a smile whenever I see them), those we have become accustomed to the period drama including Ruth Wilson, Michelle Dockery, Olivia Williams and Matthew Macfadyen (who plays Oblonsky, Anna’s brother with such comic conviction, it’s a welcome return to the big screen).

Here comes the grouch part of my review – the one major casting issue I had was Aaron Johnson as Count Vronsky. Bearing in mind that he had to play the love rival to the older looking Law, Johnson looks like he has just come away from the set of Skins, with a very bad go at trying to grow facial hair. Usually, I am a big fan of him, rewatching Nowhere Boy and Kick Ass with excitement but in this film, he felt like a bad choice. It just seems like a bigger, more mature actor was needed for the role where he was needing to be sensual, but instead he just felt like a bad schoolboy teasing the girls around him. Furthermore, it felt a bit uncomfortable watching Johnson and Knightly kiss, not for their age gap but for the time they have spent in the eyes of the audience (the latter being around much longer) and therefore, I felt this lost some of the capacity for drama and scandal, which it could have otherwise gained with another actor.

New Images From Joe Wright's 'Anna Karenina' Starring Keira Knightley, Aaron Johnson & More NEWS BY SIMON DANG AUGUST 6, 2012 9:42 AM (INDIEWIRE)

This fall will see director Joe Wright seemingly return to the comfort zone of lit adaptations with Leo Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina," which reunites him with his "Atonement" star Keira Knightley in the titular role. Another period drama you ask? Not quite. Wright has shot most of the picture on a single soundstage with interlocking sets built at London's Shepperton Studios with a strong British cast that sees Knightley surrounded by names like Jude Law, Aaron Johnson, Kelly Macdonald, Olivia Williams, Ruth Wilson and Holliday Grainger.

Keira Knightley, Jude Law, Matthew Macfadyen: Joe Wright's 'Anna Karenina' Starring Keira Knightley Set For November 9th Release (THE PLAYLIST)

NEWS BY KEVIN JAGERNAUTH | MARCH 12, 2012 |

Could Keira Knightley be angling for her second Oscar nomination this fall? You can bet Focus Features and Joe Wright hope so (and we're predicting she will) as "Anna Karenina" now has a solid release date lined up, with "The Cold Light Of Day" getting a new date and "Lola Versus" now appearing on the calendar.

First up, the experimental and likely to be eye-popping take on Leo Tolstoy's literary masterwork has now been pegged for a November 9th limited release (the same weekend "Skyfall" opens in the U.S.) But perhaps more agonizing for those looking forward to the pic stateside, is that date will be a full two months after it opens in the U.K. on September 7th.

Either way, we'll grin and bear it as this one is boasting a wealth of talent -- Jude Law, Aaron Johnson, Kelly Macdonald, Olivia Williams, Ruth Wilson, Holliday Grainger -- in an ambitious undertaking that has apparently been shot largely on a single soundstage, and yes, those are English accents you'll be hearing. We're intrigued and the Oscar season date likely means a) Focus thinks they've got a contender and b) we'd wager a full run on the fall festival circuit is being prepped.

So, we’re all familiar with the epic love story Anna Karenina adapted from Leo Tolstoy’s classic novel, right?

As Anna (Knightley) questions her happiness, change comes to her family, friends, and community.
Jude Law, Aaron Johnson, Kelly Macdonald, Matthew Macfadyen, Domhnall Gleeson, Alicia Vikander, Emily Watson, Olivia Williams and Ruth Wilson also star in Anna Karenina.
