M&S X Sienna Miller dropped on Thursday June 6, becoming a sell-out success in a matter of minutes. To those speedy enough to add the barrel-leg jeans to their checkout before everyone else did? We applaud you.
Almost two weeks on, veteran fashion sleuths will be eyeing up the collection's remaining stock – so we thought we'd curate an edit of everything you can still get your hands on. But first, let's rewind a little.
The launch of the collection felt supremely timely. A scroll down your FYP of late will likely have thrown up countless M&S styling videos, after all – most of them posing the same question: “is M&S suddenly very cool, or am I just approaching 30?” It’s cool. Absolutely. A stalwart of the British high street, M&S has managed to change perceptions around its womenswear offering with speed over the past few years.
Clothing and home sales were up 5.3 per cent in the year ending March 2024, proving designs are no longer dated and drab – rather, desirable and attuned to what’s trending, particularly among Gen-Z and millennials.
And yet, M&S never felt cooler than it did on Sienna Miller X M&S launch day, when the brand dropped a collaboration collection with the British actress in a bid to coax even more fashion fans back through its doors. Of course, it worked.
“I have always had a genuine love for M&S - it’s a brand that is part of the fabric of British life and holds special associations for so many people,” Sienna said of her work.
“Seeing the reaction to the Autumn campaign that I fronted was phenomenal. To collaborate on a womenswear design project made total sense. I can’t wait to see what customers think of the collection.”

The 33-piece capsule follows Sienna’s aforementioned first partnership with Marks and Spencer, which saw her front their AW 2023 campaign. This time around, Sienna has been heavily involved in the entire process – from design to marketing – to craft something which feels attuned to her personal brand: boho chic, with an edge.
The collection nods to summer festivals, 70s prints and some of Sienna’s most-adored vintage pieces from her own personal collection. Take that red vintage mini dress, sourced from Ninth Street Vintage in New York, that she was papped in back in 2021, for example. The high-neck, folklore mini is Sienna's collection marks a resemblance.
Textures are rich and lines are fluid; each piece tells its own story. Unusual, perhaps, for a collection which graces the rails of our beloved high street.
Maddy Evans, M&S Womenswear Director told us: “We are absolutely delighted to build upon our relationship with Sienna Miller and introduce a design collaboration that is inspired by her own personal wardrobe.
“Sienna is the epitome of the modern woman – confident, empowered, and effortlessly chic and her unique style and personality perfectly complements out brand values. We are confident that together we will inspire new and existing customers with exciting fashion choices throughout the summer season and beyond.”
It’s there we have the collection’s allure. Of course, each piece in Sienna’s drop has been designed with slightly balmier weather than we’re used in mind – but thanks to its heavy bohemian influence, each piece can be repurposed, layered and re-styled throughout the seasons.
Sienna’s self-proclaimed “dress of the season" is the perfect example: a pale blue and ultra feminine ruffle maxi dress which takes inspiration from silk ruffled frocks by Chloé. At just £89, it’s a perfect summer wedding guest dress, yet a piece that could be styled atop biker boots beneath a chunky knit and faux leather jacket as temperatures plummet.
A beaded tank dress – which conjures up memories of summers spent on Worthy Farm, Glastonbury for Sienna – makes a similar case.

Elsewhere, a paisley-print quilted jacket is the perfect companion to your trusty white T-shirt and denim shorts (or high-waisted jeans) combo, while season-less wardrobe essentials that Sienna couldn’t live without have also been included in the capsule collection.
Think: a slouchy barrel-leg jean inspired by the Alaïa A/W 2023 runway – a cut that has proven to be popular among the fashion set over the past half-year – as well as a khaki utility jacket with menswear vibes (a welcome way to toughen up any floaty summer dress).
As we venture into the swimwear offering, printed sarongs, metallic thong sandals, Ibiza mules and flattering one-piece swimsuits are all headline acts, too. Here, we round-up the pieces that are still in stock. Just remember: they won't be for long. You know what to do.
