- Hi, Vogue.
I am Sienna Miller and this is what I wear in a week.
[upbeat pop music]
This is like a kind of running errands mom outfit,
although my daughter would really object
and say that I was lying to Vogue
because I never really dress like this for the school run.
In all honesty,
I often put leggings and a sweatshirt on
so that people think I'm going to the gym
and then I just go home.
I can't be chic at 6:15 in the morning,
so I tend to wear a track suit to do the school run
much to her chagrin.
Being a mom has definitely changed how I dress
just because of the lack of time,
and I think energy,
and your focus is so intensely on somebody else,
so she looks great.
I used to have time to sort of play and go to markets.
And I was also, I think, a little bit more comfortable
just being like noticed and I was younger.
And now, I just want a uniform that's minimal,
and cool, and comfortable.
Yeah, I'm also just tired all the time.
And I can't sleep til midday
and then put around a vintage market like I used to,
but maybe those days will come back.
I think it's important to have
like staple pieces that you love.
So I always wear just like a great pair of jeans
and a really nice jumper.
And you can have that in a few different colors.
These are my Gucci loafers that I've had.
Yeah, the sole's kind of coming off the bottom,
I can see,
and they got rained on the other day,
so there's a nice stain.
But I think with those like classic pieces,
they're kind of more battered, the better.
And somehow, they always make everything
that might otherwise be a bit neutral
a little bit more fun.
So this is what I might wear if I was going out
and it's a dress that I've had for about five years,
I think.
It's a '60s vintage dress from Ninth Street Vintage,
which is an amazing shop in New York.
This is the thing that I reach for
when I just don't know what to wear,
which is most of the time.
And what's good about it is you can wear it with boots.
This feels kind of New Yorky or like a city going out,
but I've also worn it with sort of strappy heels
and lipstick,
and it can be versatile.
You can dress it up or down.
The only clothes in my wardrobe
that I don't get bored of are the vintage clothes.
This is kind of like an Edie Sedgwicky type dress.
I played her in a film when I was a lot younger.
And I just think you have fun in the clothes
that have a sense of history.
That's why I love vintage things.
And it's probably something to do with what I do for work,
but what is the story behind this?
Who wore this?
What did they do?
And all of that can influence my mood
if I'm not feeling good.
You sort of absorb the energy
of something that was loved before.
This is that dress that bails me out of a tricky situation.
I feel like every time I have to dress up,
I think about David Bowie.
I think about David Bowie pretty much all the time anyway.
I think a lot of people do
because he was sort of everything.
And funnily enough, my mom was his PA in the '70s,
so I've got lots of funny David Bowie stories.
And I would love to have access to that wardrobe
and just wear it.
Maybe that'll be my granny, my granny sort of look.
I'll be David Bowie and go mad.
She would tell me stories
about how she'd kind of go in in the morning
and he'd play her things on the piano and say,
"Joe, what do you think of this?"
And still to this day,
if I put on a David Bowie song,
she's dancing.
I am too.
Most people are.
So this is kind of again like a daytime look,
but I feel like it's got a nod to my early aughts style.
I love double denim and I love shades of blue.
Maryam Nassir Zadeh shoes
and they're like a '90s slip on.
They're so comfortable.
And again, I think you can get away
with dressing a little bit slavishly
if you add a couple of things.
This is a Re/Done t-shirt.
They make perfect t-shirts.
It's the right crop length.
I don't have to do my tuck.
It just sort of sits there, or I could.
And this is a Made in Heaven coat that is just easy.
Again, you can put it over a slip dress,
or a denim look, or whatever in it.
And then this is Annina Vogel,
which is she has this kind of vintage
Victorian jewelry place in London at Liberty's.
And you buy little charms
and it's an old men's watch chain.
And I love it.
So I was walking down Bleecker Street
and I was kind of frantically Christmas shopping.
And this happens,
I hope it happens to other people
'cause I did feel guilty about it
'cause I bought something for myself
and only one other present for somebody else that day.
But I saw these jeans, and I tried them on,
and they're really like a perfect thing.
They're kind of baggy and '90s,
but I don't know how they've done it,
but somehow, they lift your butt
in a way that I know my bum
does not look like this normally,
but it's quite good.
'Cause I want a butt
and I don't really have one except in these jeans.
That's why they are a perennial favorite
and they're comfy 'cause they're old.
You can move.
And just to top it off because it's early aughts style
and these never,
they just don't date,
the Ray-Ban Wayfarers.
So I'd probably wear this
and wander around with a Wandler bag.
So this is kind of a red carpet vibe.
I'm gonna be honest,
I don't actually have red carpet looks in my closet.
I've kept a few things after intense begging,
but on the whole,
you borrow something new
and then they collect it the next day like Cinderella.
It all goes away.
But I would love to wear this on a red carpet
because it's simple, and it's chic,
and I love this chain detail.
I love that it's backless.
I feel like you can have fun in it
because it's elegant, but it's also loose.
And sometimes, a lot of that red carpet stuff,
you are so sewn into something that you can barely breathe
or there's a train and people stamp on it.
I've had many unfortunate experiences
in proper red carpet gowns.
In the '90s,
things were became very minimal
and I think of Calvin Klein
and that just really simple silhouette.
And I love embellished things,
I love embroidered things,
I love like big puffy things,
but somehow, I always am drawn back to that era
of kind of understatement.
There is something timeless about it
and I think I feel most comfortable in that kind of thing
that's just a little undone.
I think that there's pressure always
when you are going to a big event,
like you're aware that people are gonna scrutinize
what you are wearing and have opinions on it.
I think that there is a superpower in not reading it,
and not paying attention to it,
and really dressing for yourself.
I think there's such confidence in that
and you can really tell when someone's been put in something
that is inorganic and doesn't feel like them.
This is something that I can't get enough of
and these are Margaret Howell jeans.
They come in different colors.
I think Margaret Howell's amazing.
It's really minimal, and beautiful,
and she's incredible.
And I've literally not taken them off
since I bought them a couple of years ago.
And the other thing I can't get enough of ever
is striped t-shirts.
This is a particularly nice one.
I love the pink.
I spend a lot of time on Vestiaire
searching for Phoebe Philo Celine,
but it's kind of a classic look that works.
It's another go to when you're feeling uninspired.
And then these are Gray Matters,
these shoes that are battered
because they're something I can't get enough of too.
And a sort of pop of color is always fun if you're minimal.
I live in New York.
It's very erratic weather,
so I might chuck on this Gucci jacket.
In "Anatomy of a Scandal,"
I play a character who is the wife of an MP
and she's very put together,
and her life really unravels over the six episodes.
But when it comes to styling characters,
I definitely weigh in.
I definitely have an idea of what I think would work.
You work with these incredible costume designers
who think about what your outfit is saying
about the mood that you are in.
And it's such a hugely creative part of that process for me.
I feel like the character really only comes together
once that's locked in.
And I think that's the power of clothes
is that they really have the ability
to change the way you feel,
or affect your mood, or what you're trying to say.
This is me trying to say I'm chic,
but don't notice me.
So this is a really kind of easy city look.
You could wear it in the day,
you can wear it at night, day to night.
This one's from Silk Laundry.
I love the mid-length and it's kind of fading.
And I think that with something really simple and classic,
you can play with it and style it up in different ways.
So we could add this coat and be a little bit more formal.
That would be a good
going to the theater in the evening outfit.
And then my all time favorite coat is this,
this coat.
And it's kind of easy, and city, and cool.
Again, you could wear it in the day.
You could wear it at night.
I've got my favorite battered Gray Matters shoes on
and then a ring
that Alessandro Michele gave me for my birthday.
I'm just gonna name drop that.
I'm gonna pick it up off the floor,
but I was very chuffed.
It's beautiful.
And then the old perennial battered gold jewels.
I have chipped nail polish, I'm realizing,
which is very me, but not intentional.
So I think slip dresses are great
because there's something
that's kind of nonchalant about it,
but they're also sexy.
You know, you're in like a little dress
that feels slightly like a nighty.
And I love them.
I sometimes would wear this with a jumper over the top
or a t-shirt underneath.
You can really play around
and make them a million different things.
So this is sort of a denim all day outfit.
These are B Sides.
This is also B Sides.
I have so many like gray marled sweatshirts
and I love how casual this is.
And then if you add a fancy looking bag
and some fancy looking shoes,
it becomes something
even though it really took three seconds to put on.
And I think I'm learning through doing this video
that that is what I want to do is expedite chic.
I don't wanna spend too much time thinking about it.
And I think that these are staples
that you could wear that to the gym.
You could wear it out.
You can travel in it.
This is a good travel outfit,
but dolled up by the rather fabulous beloved Gucci bag.
I think when I'm shopping for vintage jeans,
the thing that kind of draws me to them is the wash.
It's so hard to get that kind of perfect blue,
so I'll look for that.
And then I love men's jeans
that you can kind of slouch around in.
That was it.
That is what I wear in a very busy week
and I hope you enjoyed it.
