Girls' night out: Sienna Miller takes newly-single Keira Knightley out for dinner and karaoke in London following Keira's split with Rupert FriendShe's had more than her fair share of failed love affairs - so who better to comfort broken-hearted Keira Knightley over her relationship split than old friend Sienna Miller?
Sienna, now happily engaged to Jude Law, was spotted taking Keira out for a consoling dinner of Italian food at Soho restaurant Bocca Di Lupo on Thursday night, before they headed to a nearby karaoke bar.
Keira's emotions are said to still be raw after she split with her actor boyfriend of five years, Rupert Friend, just before Christmas so a girly night out was just the tonic she needed.
Both stars were dressed down, with Keira, 25, almost covering her porcelain-skinned face with a giant grey tea-cosy hat, while wearing scruffy jeans and black boots, a stripey t-shirt and khaki-coloured overcoat.
Sienna, 29, meanwhile stuck to her usual boho-meets-rock-chick style with shorts over sheer tights, black ankle boots and a tasselled black shawl.
According to The Sun, the screen beauties let their hair down after supper with a good old sing song at Lucky Voice.

A source said: 'It was a pretty raucous affair. The girls weren't holding back at all. There were about 12 people in the group, but no diva-like antics.'
Keira's break-up followed weeks of speculation that gruelling work commitments had driven the actors apart.
Happier times: Keira Knightley and Rupert Friend have split after five years togetherKeira's father William told how the Oscar nominee had thrown herself into work to cope with her heartbreak,
Speaking at the family home in Richmond, south west London this week, Mr Knightley, 64, told the Mail: ‘It wasn’t a decision that either of them took lightly. I know they gave it a great deal of thought. I don’t think there was any one thing that led to their break-up – it was a whole raft of things, I think.
‘It’s very unfortunate, but Keira is coping well and is focusing on a new West End play that she is opening. She is getting on with things. I know that she and Rupert will remain great friends.’
Keira met Rupert, 29, who she shared a flat with near Hyde Park, when they appeared together in the 2005 film version of Pride And Prejudice.
