Celebrity Style File: Sienna Miller

New York born, London raised Sienna Miller is the poster child for London-meets-NYC streetwear. Although Miller is known for being on the big screen, she first got her foot in the door by strutting down the catwalk. Then, the jack-of-all-trades star merged the two and simultaneously took her acting and fashion pursuits to new heights throughout the 2000's. Most notably, Miller has been practically singled out and credited with the fashion phenomenon known as "boho chic." Not only is Miller a fashion icon, she has also taken her savvy style and colaborated with sister, Savannah, to design their own fashion label, Twenty8Twelve. Fashion has undoubtedly become a major component in Miller's fast-paced life and due to her early exposure and experience in the industry she has had a lot of time to solidify her fashion philosophy. In fact, she once said: "Style is definitely a combination of place, occasion, surroundings, body and mood...style doesn't mean you have to stick to all-brands-looks. The thing is, you can't buy style and you can only slowly learn it." Ah, words to live, learn, and shop by!

Here are a few things you might want to know if you are considering translating elements of Sienna's style into your own wardrobe:

-Sienna is the perfect example of effortless chic. All of her outfits look as if they were thrown together without rhyme or reason and come out flawlessly. Try pairing things together that you wouldn't normally; you may be surprised with your creation!

-Sienna's favorite designers are Missoni, Marchesa, Matthew Williamson, and Chloé. Go to style.com and visit each designer's archive for some inspiration!

-Look up advice straight from Sienna! She has been asked about her style countless times and her words of wisdom are documented all over the web. Here's one I really like: "Never try too hard. Start with a sun dress, add jeans or tights underneath, and toss a skinny jacket over. To pull the outfit together, a strand of bold beads, a wide rustic belt, and perfectly worn-in boots complete it just so."

Exhibit A: Daytime Attire

Sienna is always well-dressed in an aberrant manner, meaning her ensembles are always eclectic, as well as inspiring. Her taste is very particular, in a way that will make you tilt your head a little bit as she struts down the sidewalk. Her looks are complete from head-to-toe and whether she is wearing a menswear button up with tattered denim shorts or a prairie sundress and cognac colored boots, Miller's free spirit always shines through her ensembles. Afterall, you are what you wear.

 

If you like Sienna's daytime style, here is an array of items I could definitely see her wearing:

Exhibit B: Evening Attire

Sienna's red carpet looks are about bold prints, interesting shapes, and dramatic details, such as an embellished built-in collar or huge embedded studs on an otherwise simple dress. Miller has done everything from Grecian chiffon to ombré dyed to a train of fiery red feathers. You really don't know what to expect, and I think that's part of Miller's style...delivering the unexpected.

Here are some more inspired-by items that will get your creative juices flowing when trying to incorporate Sienna's style into your evening outfit:
