Keira Knightley stars as a high-society heroine with some seriously high-end style in next month's Anna Karenina.

The ravishing Russian layers jewels upon lace upon fur for a luxe 19th-century glam look that already makes her a heroine in our eyes. But if you—like us—can't wait to ogle the sumptuous onscreen costume fabrications, Banana Republic's Anna Karenina-inspired line hits stores and BananaRepublic.com today.

The retailer's creative director, Simon Kneen, collaborated with the film's costume designer, Jacqueline Durran, to create the 56-piece capsule collection. The pair modernized the title character's over-the-top style into sleek pieces, like cocktail dresses with lace overlay, faux fur-trimmed scarves and bejeweled bib necklaces that channel Euro-chic style.

For the man—or men if you're like Karenina—in your life, the collection also offers double-breasted coats and leather gloves. With its keep-you-warm pieces and sparkling embellishments, the line is just begging to make the rounds at upcoming holiday parties.

The collection is limited-edition, so make sure to shop early to channel your modern-day Russian doll look.
