Sienna Miller's style transformation, from boho to red carpet chic
By Stylist Team
Updated 8 years ago
Sienna Miller exploded onto the showbiz scene in 2003 in a flurry of boho-chic outfits that quickly came to be known as her signature look. She later distanced herself from the rather limiting style genre with a series of glamour-packed red carpet gowns, and now straddles a style somewhere between the two.
See how her impulsive red carpet outfits have evolved from hippie to elegant and back again. Kind of.
