Keira Knightley’s fashion in *Love Actually* perfectly captures the essence of Y2K style—here’s a guide to recreating her iconic look.

If you were to ask anyone about their favorite holiday films, *Love Actually* would undoubtedly make the cut. Since its 2003 debut, Richard Curtis’ charming and hilarious holiday classic has gained a massive following, praised for its interconnected storylines and the way it celebrates love. Personally, it’s the gift that keeps on giving—always making me laugh, cry, and appreciate just how much we adored Y2K fashion back in the day.

Keira Knightley’s portrayal of Juliet in *Love Actually* is a spot-on representation of early 2000s trends. Her character is seen sporting layered, playful outfits that straddle the line between runway and street style. As a long-time fan of the film, I’ve always been captivated by her fashion choices, and now, as a shopping writer, I find myself searching for pieces that echo her memorable looks.

Check out my favorite picks, featuring low rise jeans, stylish newsboy hats, and cozy velour tracksuits from Nordstrom, Target, Old Navy, H&M, and more that will bring you back to the iconic 2000s look.

The Look: Juliet’s Wedding

Verdusa Long Sleeve Tie Front Textured Cardigan

In the opening scene of Love Actually, Juliet is seen in a church, marrying Peter, while Mark (the couple’s mutual friend and Peter’s best man) captures the heartwarming moment on film. Juliet’s wedding attire is unconventional for the time—featuring a sheer, long-sleeve dress that flows to the floor, topped with a satin skirt and lace bandeau. This tie-front textured cardigan mirrors Juliet’s gown with its sheer fabric, vertical zigzag patterns, and elegant, flattering fit. 

Bridal Feather Hair Clip

An understated yet significant detail of Juliet’s wedding ensemble is the feathered hair clip she adorns in her hair—a sleek bun with two perfectly styled wavy strands framing her face. While the clip is only subtly shown in the film, it perfectly reflects her playful and elegant style. The accessory features a mix of white feathers with a small crystal gem at the center, all securely fastened with a metal clip. Juliet’s bridal look also includes several other key elements, listed below.

The Look: Juliet’s Surprise Visit

Sumolux Beret Newsboy Hat

Spoiler alert: Peter’s best man, Mark, has a secret crush on Juliet, making things kinda complicated and very awkward when it comes to her retrieving the footage he filmed at their wedding. During a surprise visit to Mark’s apartment, Juliet wears a newsboy hat—a classic Y2K trend that was popularized by celebrities like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Paris Hilton, and other pop culture icons. Our version mimics the same oversized style, crafted from a wool and rayon blend, and it’s available in 15 different colors. 

H&M Flared Dress Pants

In addition to her newsboy hat, Juliet is also spotted wearing a pair of casual black trousers as she walks into Mark’s apartment. This look was probably before flared leggings became a trend, so Juliet’s trousers are a more relaxed fit with a low waistline (a style that’s featured on this list a few times). These flared dress pants from H&M have a waist that sits below the belly button with flared hems. Her outfit also includes a velour zip-up hoodie layered with a long denim trench coat, similar to the pieces you’ll find listed below.

The Look: Juliet at Home

BP. Off the Shoulder Sweater

The most memorable moment in Love Actually undoubtedly comes near the end, when (spoiler alert) Mark confesses his feelings for Juliet using a series of cue cards, while the song Silent Night plays softly from his portable CD player, a true throwback to the ‘00s. As Peter remains upstairs, Juliet watches with anticipation as Mark flips through card after card, all while wearing a cream-colored off-the-shoulder sweater that closely resembles this one by BP. The relaxed-fit sweater is made from a soft, cozy blend of cotton, acrylic, and nylon—making it perfect for winter. It also features a ribbed foldover neckline, ribbed sleeves at the cuffs, and is available in colors such as black, grey heather, pink coral, and ivory.

Levi’s Superlow Bootcut Jeans

Last but certainly not least, Juliet’s cozy home look wouldn’t be complete without a pair of low rise jeans. While we can’t be sure what brand she’s wearing in the film, this pair from Levi’s seems to be a close match. Made with cotton, polyester, and Lycra, these jeans offer just the right amount of stretch and flexibility. They are among Levi’s lowest-rise designs ever and are modeled after the signature low-rise styles of the early 2000s, making them a true reflection of that era. Additionally, the jeans come with five pockets and are available in five color options. Below, you’ll find other sweater and jean choices to help you recreate the look.
