The OBE is one of the highest honours us commoners can receive from the Royal Family. For the uninitiated, the OBE stands for ‘Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire’, which basically means it’s awarded to a handful of individuals deemed to be the top of their field.
To date, OBE recipients include the likes of Judi Dench, David Beckham, Ed Sheeran and Anna Wintour.
Now 2000s kween, Keira Knightley, has just joined the prestigious squad after being presented with the award by none other than Prince Charles.
But, asides from the awesome recognition, on the more logistical side, what do you actually wear to accept an OBE at Buckingham Palace? I’ll tell you. You wear Chanel fucking Couture, that’s what.

Keira was photographed arrived on the steps of the palace looking like a sweet, sweet angel in a pastel apricot tweed skirt suit, matching boater hat and a black bow around the collar:
HOLY SHITE. WHAT GOALS. I AM ACTUALLY DECEASED. CREMATE ME.
As for the accessories, the actress kept things relatively low-key with a blush pink belt around the waist and matching neutral pumps.
Her she is receiving the award from old mate Charles, looking stoked as heck about the whole thing:
Then BOOM! A short time later Keira emerged from the palace sporting her very own fancy schmancy medallion:
I am absolutely obsessed with everything about this. I mean, look how chuffed she is:
She is so adorable and talented and elegant I can’t even deal. Keira, you look three zillion bucks and we are not worthy. You keep doing you. Also, feel free to keep the Chanel coming pls’n’thnku.
