Pregnancy is something of a mixed bag. You could have morning sickness, never-ending heartburn and constant cravings for fish with chocolate. OR, you could have fuller, thicker hair and that elusive maternal glow. Judging by the radiant appearance of Keira Knightley on the red carpet this week, she's fallen into the latter category. We've been bowled over by her beauty looks over the last few weeks - she's really tapped into the whole 'earth mother' vibe and managed to look possibly even more lovely than before.

Now, we can't say for sure that Keira's feeling right as rain all the time, but we take our hats off to her comittment to being red carpet-ready when curling up in a corner probably sounds a whole lot more appealling right about now. She's given us a selection of soft, romantic, looks with her lit-from-within complexion, stained lips and intricate braided 'dos. She's practically a beaming Botticelli beauty. Pregnancy requires an almost Gwyneth Paltrow-esque diet, free from alcohol, smoking and some kinds of cheese and fish – which may or may not be helping Keira look so glowing.

It must be hard for the A List to keep it fresh during awards season; with so many events to attend, it's tricky to find a way to keep switching it up. Yet Keira's found a way to keep putting a slightly different spin on this Renaissance look she's opted for; a different lip colour, a braid up rather than down, a more bronzed smokey eye and so forth.

Of course, it helps to have the razor-sharp, mountain-high cheekbones that Keira does, but she looks very fresh and un-made up. Even if you’ve not got one on the way, you could try and fake Keira’s pregnancy glow by choosing a lighter foundation (liquid as opposed to powder for a dewy look), playing around with braids and going for a lip stain rather than a matte lipstick. All the benefits of maternity – without having to pass on wine and sushi. Win win.
