We are used to seeing Sienna Miller, who is famous for her boho chic style, looking cool in Ugg boots, skinny jeans and gypsy wraps. The 24-year-old looked very different when she was snapped in period costume on the set of her latest film, however. With a green parasol resting on her shoulder and a stunning lilac ballgown covering her curves, the blonde actress was more lady of the manor than London It-Girl. Her eye-catching costume didn't look out of place against the backdrop of Castle Coombe in Wiltshire, however, as the pretty village is one of Britain's most historically authentic.
The picturesque town, which is centred around a 14th-century marketplace, has played host to the Britons, Saxons and the Normans down through the centuries. In recent years it has become accustomed to welcoming more modern visitors, as it's frequently used for filming period dramas. St Andrew's Church, which dates back to the 12th century and features a 500-year-old clock, is among the sites making it a favourite with location scouts.
Its latest guests are surely among the most glamorous to date, though. Stardust, a fantasy romance set in a magical land, sees Sienna starring alongside Robert De Niro, Michelle Pfeiffer and Claire Danes.
