VOGUE UK, October 2015
Sienna Miller, describing herself ‘was and
am, an incredibly fortunate person’, graces VOGUE UK magazine cover again since
her first feature in 2004. For her, the past few years have encompassed
motherhood, controversy, love affairs, hard-won success and, recently, a broken
engagement (with actor Tom Sturridge). In front of the lens of Peruvian
photographer Mario Testino, she reveals on the pages why she is not lingering
badly on the past.
Sienna Miller catches more of my attention
on her personal fashion styles rather than her actress career, all the time.
While her roles such as Edie Sedgwick in Factory
Girl or Baroness in G.I. Joe bringing up her own
characteristics, then Miller switches my preconception toward this
Jude-Law-tabloid-It-Girl ever since. Her supporting roles in Bennett Miller’s Foxcathcer and Client Eastwood’s American Sniper in 2014 enhance this
newly mother a more convincible touch. Under ‘the
world’s most prolific magazine and fashion trade photographer’ Mario Testino’s
gazes, Miller nails a 60’s factory girl on vintage crepe blouse, a femme fatale
in Dolce & Cabbana evening black gown, or a 50’s Marilyn Monroe wearing
Agent Provocateur, attractively.
Testino’s photography is notable for the exotic
hints, for Sienna Miller, her bare back with a slipping Michael Kors jersey
poppy red dress, her angle face with rouge lips, her eye sight is slightly
toward to upper right corner, as if she was caught by a close member who she
should trust with, but yet unsuspectingly cautious. The 14-page fashion
campaign is in such a sensual feels, for every page turn, Miller is natural and
full of sentiment. As designer Stella McCartney states, that Miller ‘definitely
knows when something is right for her. She looks good in everything but she won’t
just wear anything’ (306).
Even though this New Your born British
indicates that ‘meeting Jude was the most incredible experience’, still she was
still subjected to hideous sexism and judgement.’ Through interviewer Emily
Sheffield’s eyes, Miller is nothing to do with ‘diva’, ‘she is looking like any
other young mother on a Monday night having just bundled her excited
two-year-old into bed following a long day at work: tired, harried, hair a bit
mussed, eye shadow caked into the creases of her eyelids’ (302). In front of
the camera, Miller does own both the alluring and warming attractions, as of
her many British peers, she fights for her off-screen life so hard to keep a
healthy life, because she is ‘ not someone who is prone to deep
self-examination‘ (307).
I like to collect the magazine whichever featuring
Sienna Miller due to her photogenic smiles and great tastes. As for her acting
appearance, I prefer admiring more and miss Twenty8Twelve, the fine fashion
label that Sienna and her sister, Savannah co-designed when they were in their
twenties.
