    The British actress stepped out in Chanel's corseted shape for the third time in a row this year. If that's not a fashion crush, we're not sure what is...

    Keira Knightley's fallen in love with this year's hottest high-end dress shape and can't get enough of its waist-cinching ways. 

    First donning the extreme hourglass cut for Chanel's AW14 show at Paris Fashion Week last month, the British actress put her tiny waist on display in the luxe label's brand new cut - one that's now taken over her entire wardrobe. 

    She's switched her flowing boho frocks for the body sculpting dress with a dramatic waist and it looks like she's never going back.

    Just weeks after the French celebration of style, the 29-year-old stepped out at the 2014 Tribeca Film Festival in New York wearing yet another Chanel Couture dress that's corseted middle gives the illusion of a seriously slim midriff.

    Further proving this was one statement silhouette she was completely and utterly coveting, the brunette beauty used the same event as a Chanel catwalk, switching one waist-nipper for another that night.

    Originally taking to the red carpet in a sparkling nude frock, Keira made an A-list change for the after party but didn't steer far from her beloved cut - she wore a crisp white version of the now famous Chanel shape on the same day.
