Call me crazy, but Iâ € ™ ve never gotten why so many women think Sienna Milleris a kind of nouveau style icon. Sure, she started a few trends (boho-chic,not washing your hair, the return of the big leather belts), but she was a fashionfollower more than anything. And the odd peasant blouse circa 2004, Inever really wanted her clothes. If you think about it, Shea € ™ s not even thatversatile as a dresser - as she œdresses up â €, â €? I usually find it terrible,as some stupid hippie girl wearing couture with combat boots, a large leather beltand dirty hair. She usually looks much better than a street-wear redcarpet. The world is her runway.
Anyway, a few days ago when I saw these pictures of Sienna attending ascreening in France, I was stunned. I have this exact same jersey. Or at least Iused to have this same sweater. When I was 12 years old. And my mom gave it tome for Christmas. Doesnâ € ™ t every woman a sweater just like this? Andalmost always, our mothers gave it to us. Our mothers look at us as we open the big chestthe knot of fear in our stomachs, thinking â € œOh, God, there was a sale onKohlâ € ™ s. Let a wallet. Please God. Please.â €? And itâ € ™ s thissweater. And we smile politely and say â € œthank you.â €? And we even try,to see how odd our sleeves upper arms feel like they are filledsausages, caught in an itchy wool blend (â € œItâ € ™ s 10% cashmere! â €? our moms enthusiasm).
So, yes. Sienna Miller reminded me of nausea on Christmas. And besides thestupid sweater (which probably cost a down payment on a mortgage), whatâ € ™ s withthe pants? I think my mom still has pants like this. Tapered, pleated,peach-pink nightmares. You can see that Sienna is trying to start a new trend.And Shea € ™ s failing.
