Boho chic is so 2004, but in 2024, Sienna Miller proved that the mob wife aesthetic is still going strong.
Attending the Venice Film Festival premiere of Orizzonti Corti with her boyfriend, Oli Green (with whom she shares a child), Miller served serious old-school Italian glamour in a look that had everyone talking.
Miller stunned in a vintage Giorgio Armani black velvet dress with a daring plunging neckline, giving off vibes that were very Godfather. "The mob wife aesthetic is the extra glam version of the old money style we all saw everywhere,” film director and style maven Phoebe Torrance told H! Fashion, “Think Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface."

To top it all off, she was dripping in De Beers jewellery from the brand’s ‘Enchanted Lotus’ high jewellery collection. The gems are inspired by the lotus flower, which, according to De Beers, “symbolises the power of life through its renewal each day.” How fitting for someone who can renew her style with such ease.

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is a huge fan of the Italian shoe label. An advocate of an ‘effortlessly chic’ outfit, she has been spotted many times in the exact same heels as Sienna. Meghan wore the same style recently, in a soft powder pink, at a Women in Leadership event in Abuja, Nigeria, during her tour with Prince Harry in May 2024.

Venice was the perfect backdrop for her to remind us all that classic glamour never goes out of style, especially when it comes with a side of royal-approval.
