Sienna Miller soared to fame in the early Noughties – with her burgeoning acting career and romance with Jude Law hitting headlines.
However it was not just work and love life that captured column inches 20 years ago, as the blonde beauty’s fashion sense propelled her to style icon status at speed prior to her throwback-worthy appearance at Monday night’s Met Gala.
The Layer Cake star, 42, became the pin-up girl for the beloved boho look of the time, with her love of ripped denim, beachy hair, cowboy boots, embellished belts and UGGs making her the prime candidate for a fashion maven.
Throughout her time in the spotlight, her looks evolved – although the boho look was never far behind – with her turn as Andy Warhol’s muse Edie Sedgwick in 2006’s Factory Girl seeing her court in a Sixties theme to her dressing.
As well as her boho style and her nods to Warhol’s era, Sienna – who is mother to Marlowe, 12, with actor Tom Sturridge, and a daughter, five months, with Oli Green, has also made an impact with her incredible maternity style over the past decade.
So what are Sienna’s most important style moments?

THE ORIGINAL BOHO BABE
Many staples of the boho babe wardrobe of the early Noughties were spawned from Sienna’s personal style and close relationships with designers.
She joined a host of other stars of the era, who were seldom seen without their Balenciaga City bag – with a slouchy shape and slew of attachments making for the perfect accompaniment to a boho babe style.
Additionally, the stunner joined the likes of Kate Moss in overseeing the rise of boho boots, making Uggs an essential as opposed to a slipper, studded ankle boots a wardrobe essential, cowboy boots the ultimate look and slouch boots a pinnacle.
Belts were also a key look of the time, with an array of studded gladiator-style belts draped over loose-fitted looks with sky-high hemlines.
At Monday night’s Met, Sienna evoked nostalgia with her boho lace dress as she appeared alongside a slew of other stars in Chloe ensembles.

In light of Chloe’s new boho revival, Sienna spoke to Vogue about her own style coming back in to prominence 20 years after she first wore the styles.
She said: ‘The first feeling [I have] is, has it really been that long? Am I that old? I’m in denial. Things that I feel like I wore yesterday are suddenly vintage…
‘It makes me laugh. But there’s a Gen-Z spin on it now where, things that were trashy at the time are now chic.’
She admitted the inspiration she has provided for others has inspired her to dip back into her aesthetic, saying: ‘I’m like, ‘Can I wear cowboy boots and a miniskirt again?’…
‘I don’t know if I can get away with it. But I’m enjoying watching from the sidelines, and cheering them on in my old age.’
Speaking again about her iconic style, she said in 2019: ‘I mean, if I look back on the early ’00s which is when it happened, I don’t know that I’d put all of my clothes together in that way now, like I did then…
‘It was a real moment in time and kind of amazing for people to respond in the way that they did, out of nowhere. I have always been drawn to that aesthetic…
‘I look back and laugh at a lot of it now … it doesn’t bother me. It was a moment in time but I’ve evolved, is what I would say.’

SIXTIES SIENNA
When Sienna starred as Edie in 2006’s Factory Girl, she transformed her image with a new choppy hairdo, floaty minis, opaque tights and Breton striped tops.
Her haircut was the biggest transformation as Sienna bid farewell to her beachy blonde locks and debuted a pixie chop in a nod to Edie’s style.
In the midst of the regrowth, she tied her hair into her ensembles, with shift dresses becoming a pinnacle alongside thick hoisery and staggering heels.
Her make-up look evolved with her style, as she began wearing lashings of mascara and eyeliner to stand out against her blonde tresses.
At the New York premiere for the movie in January 2007, she looked breathtaking in a white fringed mini dress with dramatic make-up.

MATERNITY MAVEN
In both her pregnancies, Sienna has made maternity fashion her own in sizzling looks – with her bare bump taking front and centre in key style moments.
While attending Vogue World: London 2023 at Theatre Royal Drury Lane in September last year, she unveiled her second baby bump.
Back in 2012, while she was expecting Marlowe, Sienna’s boho style was very much at the centre of her maternity dressing, with floaty dresses.
In her new interview with Vogue, she discussed the perks of breastfeeding for her figure and how her new boobs tie in with her look.
She said: ‘I’m really loving the freedom of everything sheer, and that women are celebrating bodies in a way that was never really accepted before…
‘I love that women are empowered to wear what they want and people don’t get to criticise them for it. At the moment, I’ve got enormous boobs because I’m breastfeeding. So maybe I’ll get my mum boobs out in a sheer top…
‘We’re setting the nipple free!’
