Actress and Style Icon Sienna Miller Bio

Learn about the life, success and style of British actress and fashion icon Sienna Miller.

Host: In a relatively short period of time, the beautiful Sienna Miller has established herself not only as a talented actress but also, as an edgy style icon. Always willing to take a red carpet risk, the Boho beauty shakes up the scene with her unique street style and high fashion Hollywood gowns. One of England’s most intriguing young talents, Miller is an accomplished actress and model who first rose to fame in 2004 with roles in the romantic-comedy “Alfie” and the thriller, “Layer Cake.” Her ascension was further rated by her very public relationship with Jude Law which ended in 2006. Adored in fashion circles for her Bohemian chic style, Miller was awarded the Elle Style Icon Award in 2009 for her fashion forward sense of elegance. She accepted the award in a ruffle dress designed by close friend Matthew Williamson topped off with a Louis Vuitton feather-shouldered blazer. It wasn’t the first time she’d won awards for her charming and thrown together sense of style and we’re sure it won't be the last. Male: I would say Sienna Miller. She’s always my favorite and stylish girl. Female: Well, I always love the way Sienna Miller dresses simply because she’s always an individual. She doesn’t really follow that kind of starlet clone way of dressing and she’s got her own personality. Host: She let her style sense to people like us when she parlayed her fashion influence into her own line, “2812” with her designer sister Savannah. Launched in 2007, the two shared the quirky trendsetting taste via an 80-piece ready-to-wear collection. The clothes seem a combination of the two sisters; leather jackets, skin-tight dresses with a Boho flair for Sienna mixed with crystal- embellished cashmere, fine-tailoring and florals for Savannah. Miller admitted that the fashion venture is just two sisters playing dress-up with someone else’s money. Millions of women worldwide consider Miller to be a fashion genius but the actress says she gets her fashion inspiration from past generations. Having played 60s fashion icon Edie Sedgwick in Factory Girl, it’s no secret that Miller considers Andy Warhol's muse one of her own style icons. The fashion “it girl” likes to take risks and doesn’t always choose conventional looks on the red carpet. At the UK premier of her film, “The Edge of Love, she sated along in a black tussle dress by Jasmine Di Milo topped with a vintage bowler hat. While equally comfortable in either long gowns or cocktail dresses, Miller likes to choose clothes that have an effect. One of the secrets to keeping the red carpet look her own while wearing ethereal couture gowns, she keeps her hair slightly messy and never looks too polished. Miller is also a big fan of accessories and often lay as long tangles of costume jewelry with eye catching earrings over her red carpet gowns. While she wasn’t nominated, all eyes were on the British beauty at the 2007 BAFTA Awards when she wore a stunning vintage Emanuel Ungaro backless gown. Miller, at the ceremony to present the Best Supporting Actor Award topped off her outfit with diamond drop earrings by Adler. Having been seen on the red carpet in an array of designers who are only too happy to dress the gorgeous star, the fashion princess doesn’t discriminate. Louis Vuitton, Burberry, Marc, Hazar and Dior have all been seen adorning the graceful star at various film premiers. From Boho chic to sultry to eclectic to girly, Sienna Miller has cultivated a signature status as one of the fashion world’s most celebrated style icons and it seems there is no style out there she won't try.
