If you've been feeling uninspired by your recent daily hairstyling, Sienna Miller's latest boho chic updo could offer the perfect reprieve – and it's ideal for outdoorsy events.

If you've tuned into Wimbledon at all this week, you'll know that Centre Court has welcomed several famous faces, many of whom have supplied some much-needed fashion and beauty inspiration for the season ahead. One such person is Sienna Miller, whose soft and perfectly "undone" updo has us digging out our best curling irons and best heat protection sprays as we speak.

The actor opted to wear her blonde hair swept up, elevated further with some softly waved tendrils, the likes of which are as easy to replicate as they are flattering, especially with summer styling in mind. 

Why Sienna Miller's updo with tendrils is a perfect example of 'smart casual'

Attending day nine of Wimbledon 2024 on the 9th of July, Sienna Miller paired a timeless white and black polka dot blouse with a coordinating skirt, which she complimented with a loose bun and wavy, face-framing tendrils.

The hairstyle itself is a perfect take on "smart casual" as it added an extra touch of elegance to Sienna's overall look. However, it isn't so "done" that it would look out of place for everyday wear – alongside a white T-shirt and jeans, for instance.

Recreate Sienna Miller's effortless updo and tendrils

Luckily for fans of this chic look, it's quite easy to recreate and can be adapted to suit a range of hair lengths. If you have longer hair, to achieve a face-framing effect closest to Miller's look you will need to request some shorter layers from your hairdresser to fully commit to this look. It would also work with curtain bangs that are on the longer side. If you already have a bob hairstyle or more of a "lob" cut, though, and the length of your hair already hits your jawline or falls just below it, you can also adapt this style to with shorter "wisps".

Now, onto the styling. (If you have any degree of a curl to your hair, you'll first want to smooth it out so you're starting with fairly straight hair before creating this look.) We would recommend styling a slight wave or loose curl into your hair, as this will add texture to the bun, and sectioning out your face-framing pieces. You can then either brush your lengths back into a ponytail before twisting the hair into a bun and securing it, or skip straight to the latter. For a really "undone" and tousled look, you can also gently loosen strands of your bun.

FInally, moving onto the tendrils, opt for a middle parting like Miller's and then slightly curl the ends away from your face. A good trick to achieve that face-framing look is to tuck the pieces behind your ears while they are still slightly warm (not hot!) from your curlers.
