Separately Knightley's iconic green dress from the film Atonement has been put up for sale sparking collector interest. Her camel coat worn in the series Black Doves has been featured in a Marks & Spencer window display. Knightley also remarks that Love Actually isn't significant to her because she hasn't viewed it since its premiere and doesn't remember the film.
