Tropes:
- Everyone Loves Blondes: She frequently plays "blond bombshell" characters, normally with her hair in wild curls.
- Fake American: In such roles she is usually doing a remarkably convincing American accent.
- Friendship on the Set: Became best friends with Hannah Waddingham on the set of Ted Lasso, just like their characters.
- Ms. Fanservice: Pick a role. She's either wearing Form Fitting Wardrobes and/or revealing clothes, not wearing anything at all or starts with the former and eventually ends with the latter. Even in Ted Lasso she still has this role, Keeley being a former lads mag model, although not to the same extent as the films with nudity and explicit sex scenes.
- Playing Against Type: She has often said that when Jason Sudeikis offered her the role of Keeley Jones in the optimistic comedy Ted Lasso, she really thought he had meant to send the message to another actress. Up until that point, her most famous roles had been dramatic and often very dark. She played the role brilliantly, becoming a fan favorite and being nominated for an Emmy award for best supporting actress in a comedy (she eventually lost to her co-star Hannah Waddingham who, in her acceptance speech, offered to break one of the statuette's arms off so that they could share it).
- Romance on the Set: She dated Michael Angarano for two years after they met while performing in The Brass Teapot.
- Unkempt Beauty: A lot of her characters have rather wild, messy hair, and frequently aren't very concerned with their appearance otherwise. She's pretty enough that it doesn't matter though.
- What Could Have Been: She was considered for the role of Luna Lovegood on Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, but the role went to Evanna Lynch.
