When it comes to consistently good hair days, there’s one woman who seems to have been blessed by the beauty gods: Sienna Miller. Her iconic beachy blonde waves have been turning heads since her first breakout role in Layer Cake back in 2004. Sure, 16 years may have passed, but Sienna is still influencing our style to this day; be it our wardrobes or our beauty routines.
Her hair, however, is the stuff of legend. In fact, when I last went to the hairdresser, brandishing tears of Sienna’s gorgeous locks on my phone for her to recreate, my stylist revealed that the majority of her blonde-haired clients will show her snaps of Sienna Miller as a reference. Which got me thinking—why isn’t there a place where I can access all of Sienna Miller’s hair looks in a single swipe? So I set about creating it.
While Sienna has remained loyal to her beachy waves, that doesn’t mean she’s become complacent with her hair—far from it. Seeing her looks side-by-side, it’s evident that Sienna has experimented with different shades of blonde, as well as different face-framing cuts, over the years. Even on the red carpet, where many celebrities will opt for their default dos, Sienna showcases a multitude of hair looks, from elegant up-dos to glossy blowdries. But even without an A-list stylist, her hair still somehow manages to look perfect at every turn.
With a back catalog as impressive as hers, it’s little wonder that Sienna Miller’s hair remains a firm talking point in beauty circles. Scroll below to see her best-ever hair looks—I challenge you not to show them to your hairdresser on your next appointment.
