She never fails to look glamorous both on and off screen.

And Keira Knightley was the picture of radiance even in character on Tuesday, as she kicked off filming for her new WWII drama The Aftermath in Prague. 

The actress, 31, certainly caught attention in her vintage-style green coat and chic beret costume, as she laughed animatedly between takes on the streets of the Czech Republic's capital.

The Love Actually star embodied her 1940s character in the timeless green coat, which cinched in at her waist before flowing out to knee length.

Enhancing the classic look in a quirky style, she then layered a black beret on top of her thick brown bob as she enjoyed a few dramatic scenes in character.

Accessorising with a pair of green leather gloves, black plimsoll boots and a small leather handbag around her wrist, Keira looked more than ready for the day ahead as she transformed into her stylish character.

However, with Prague currently enduring a wintry period of weather, the Atonement actress had to continually wrap herself in a blue puffer coat and chunky silver moon boots in her breaks as the snow began to fall.

Getting the hang of it: Keira happily chatted with producers as they ran through the scene before shooting

Yet Keira remained completely unfazed by the chilly temperatures - happily walking around set and laughing with the cast with a huge umbrella in hand. 

With her character's coat perhaps more for style than practicality, the brunette also carried a hot water bottle around with her as she reminded herself of her lines and topped up her make-up before her next scene.

Set in post-war Germany in 1946, the film follows Keira as Rachael Morgan, whose colonel husband Lewis, played by Jason Clarke, is put in charge of rebuilding the city of Hamburg. 

However upon arrival, she discovers that they will not be living in their own home, but instead in a grand house with its previous owners - a German widower, played by Alexander Skarsgard, and his troubled daughter. 

The war drama is based on the book of the same name, by Rhidian Brook, and is produced by Ridley Scott.

The film marks Keira's full return to the acting world - having only released Collateral Beauty in 2016, as she adapts to life as a mother.

The British beauty welcomed her daughter Edie with husband and Klaxons frontman James Righton, in May 2015.

Talking about motherhood to Elle magazine last year, the actress admitted the whole experience was 'astonishing', and that no job or experience in life can begin to prepare you for it.

'It's a very primal, primal love, that's quite extraordinary,' she explained. 'And the ability to have no sleep and continue going. 

'It's not pleasant—I never thought that I could actually do it for the amount of time that I've done it.'

However as she gets back into the swing of making movies, it appears the beauty is set to return to one of her most famous roles.

Having skipped the fourth installment of the series, Keira is reportedly going to play Elizabeth Swann again for Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.

The mother-of-one reportedly shot scenes for the movie on Queensland's Gold Coast in secret - although according to TooFab, her scenes are described as a 'small cameo during the end credits.
