Bohemian Rhapsody: Sienna Miller Masters 70s-Chic for the Met Gala Afterparties
The morning after fashion’s biggest night out, all eyes were on Sienna Miller as she departed a starry Met Gala afterparty in New York City. Having stunned on the iconic Met stairs just hours earlier in a romantic lace gown, the forever bohemian beauty slipped into an outfit that was quintessentially her – an elevated take on 70s-inspired separates that radiated both vintage glamour and modern insouciance.
For the fashionable fête, the 42-year-old British actress put her signature spin on the hippie-chic aesthetic, styling a delicate cream lace blouse from Chloé’s pre-fall 2024 collection with a pair of vintage-inspired high-waisted flared jeans. Miller’s blouse featured a plunging v-neckline and romantic blouson sleeves that channeled the poetic, free-spirited mood of the 70s while the lace fabrication lent an air of femininity and sensuality.
While her luxe lace top provided a bohemian touch, it was Miller’s sleek denim that made her evening look decidedly 2024. With their subtle front cutouts and severely flared hems, the jeans struck the perfect balance between retro and contemporary. The fitted high-rise silhouette highlighted Miller’s slender frame, while the dramatic exaggerated flare elongated her lean legs.
But the true showstopper was Miller’s statement footwear – a pair of towering wooden platform sandals in a rich cognac leather that reached dizzying heights. The soaring cork wedge and thick straps felt straight out of the swinging 60s, yet they managed to look strikingly modern when styled with the flowing denim. Platforms have been having a major moment this season, dominating the spring runways from Chloé to Celine to Loewe. Leave it to the perennially stylish Miller to demonstrate the retro trend in all its glory.
With her tousled blonde waves, dewy makeup, and radiant glow, the new mom (she and boyfriend Oli Green welcomed their first child together just 4 months ago) looked every inch the quintessential bohemian beauty. By grounding the glamorous blouse with casual denim and skyscraper platforms, she epitomized the kind of undone, louche luxury that she has become renowned for.
Miller has been a long-time champion of the 70s trend, rocking flared denim, floral prints, and her trademark floaty bohemian dresses for years. But rather than feeling like a rehash of an old standby, her Met Gala afterparty ensemble felt decidedly fresh and au courant. With thoughtful touches like the delicate lace detailing, subtle front cutouts, and chunky platforms, Miller demonstrated her mastery of reimagining retro for a new age. She took the decade’s hallmark elements and remixed them into something that felt wholly novel and brimming with youthful exuberance. Bohemian rhapsody indeed.
