Perhaps Keira Knightley should be adding Avengers character Emma Peel to her acting resume.
The actress seemed to be channelling the legendary spy character as she filmed a new Chanel advertisement in Paris.
Even in an unflattering beige motorcycle helmet, the star looked stunning in the figure hugging beige catsuit and matching boots - designed by the revered fashion house.
And the 25-year-old looked like she was concentrating hard as she mounted a matching vintage motorbike for this afternoon's shoot.
The actress has been the celebrity face of the French Fashion House since 2006.
Diana Rigg played Emma Peel from 1965 -1968 in the spy-fi TV show which revolved around the adventures of impeccably dressed British secret agent John Steed (Patrick Macnee).
Knightley will next be seen alongside Carey Mulligan and Andrew Garfield in sci-fi drama Never Let Me Go.
The film, based on the dark novel by British author Kazuo Ishiguro, tells the story of three children, Ruth, Tommy and Kathy, who grow up together after attending the same boarding school.
The movie sees Knightley adapt a more low key look to play Ruth, something which director Mark Romanek says was tricky.
'It was difficult,' he said. 'She was eager and happy to do it because the role called for it.
'But even at her worst, Keira still looks astonishing.'
The highly-anticipated movie will be released in the U.S. in October and will hit UK cinemas shortly afterwards.
Knightley's other forthcoming film, the romantic drama Last Night, will close the Toronto Film Festival later this month.

Keira is just beautiful. Even in that hideous catsuit
