Sienna Miller Opens Up About Pregnancy at 41 | Vogue

this is the run through I'm Chloe m and today we're here with Sienna Miller all right hi Sienna happy Sunday thank you we're in the vot closet this is a big moment for many people but we're just casually on this pink velvet sofa and then the V so that closes and there are more clothes when we're not in here yeah this well I mean and everyone can just help themselves to the shoes well these are available for shoots but the manoles have to be approved like a a the library and a temperature control let anyone get their mits on manolos right what is it like fitting for V cover when you're quite a few months pregnant pretty heavily pregnant now um it is how many you I am 31 weeks oh my God 31 in a bit weeks it's fun doing a fitting although in the last two weeks I've woken up and I'm like pregnant in my head and face what what is the exact change that you feel there's a slight waddle okay you know there's a when you stand up and sit down which I'm really trying to get a lid on and peeing like 18 times a night which is too much information but Welcome to the Real World people and I walked around with my daughter yesterday in SoHo and I was like we're going to be in New York let's go shopping and after an hour I was you know the lady that was sitting down in every shop what are you loving to wear right now big baggy knitted yeah what is Sienna maternity wear I've have tried to avoid buying maternity we me too it's very hard it's very hard I feel like I'm probably at the stage where I need some maternity leggings that would be nice I've found clothes in my wardrobe that will stretch and I have borrowed Ollie's jeans for the first four months I have now outgrown them oh wow I think that the timing of this pregnancy is great I got to be sort of floaty in the summer and yeah and you know in the good stage of pregnancy was in Easy clothes and now I can just like jumper it up well I was obsessed with your Vogue world scaparelli moment it was a good thing how would you describe it I would have said kind of Couture merang yes it was a Couture mering with your bump with my bumps every area that you would want disguised as a woman was disguised beautifully artfully by this incredibly created like Masterpiece of art Harry Lambert was styling everybody who was taking part in the show and I was doing a little skit and oh yes you were an usher I was an usher yes and Harry Lambert for those who don't know is a brilliant very avantgard creative stylist and he had sent some options of clothes that he thought would be good and that was the most exciting SL scary I didn't know I was a kind of bump out pregnant person but it felt incredibly empowering is this pregnancy style different than with Marlo do you remember what you wore when you preg I think with Marlo I really tried to stay in my own clothes and it just didn't work I think I have I think I'm just much more conscious now that I was then how is this pregnancy different from 10 years ago with it's honestly been so much easier I have sailed through this pregnancy yeah I don't know whether you're just so perpetually tired being a parent already that you can just manage better with a second baby but I felt great well I'm thrilled to hear that until about 6 days ago this pregnancy became publicly known when you were on a private vacation in a pizza uh this summer what is it like having people phot of you in a bikini you know what it's great I it was so funny i' got through the entire summer and I'd had a very decadent summer of traveling around and being on lots of beaches and I got away with it that was the last swim on the last day of the last holiday you almost did it thank Christ it was like 5:00 p.m. and not glaring sunlight actually is Marlo excited to have a sister yeah a baby s little girl gender reveal by accident I was going to ask but there we go I'm having a baby girl um is Marlo excited she is now excited she's like this was great why would we change this this we were the Gilmore Girls and what if I what if the baby's cuter and you know the normal feelings which she's very honest about how do you hope her experience as a girl and eventually a woman will be different from yours um how long have you got no I think I think it's it's really hard to be a young woman in this day and age I think it's also a lot easier in many ways so there are pros and cons to both vergins she can self- Advocate and she has the word no in her repertoire and I think I think in the '90s when I was a kid growing up you know God forbid you offend a man's ego by disagreeing or yeah and I just don't think that exists at all and that's wonderful can you describe like Marlo's family dinners where it's you Tom he's now with Alexa olly does Marlo know that she has access to two of the Great British wardrobes we tell her she doesn't she's never going to give me that I think it's might she might be starting to coton onto the fact that I have got an aesthetic and maybe it was appreciated but she's still like no um Alexa she is much more generous too because she's exquisitely dressed and not her actual mother it's very genuinely very loving and cozy and great how wonderful for her ideal it's incredible we're very lucky what's been your favorite role that you've played and why s RS in cabar Broadway because she is a nealis sort of tragedy that sings and dances and my guilty pleasure is singing and dancing what is the most challenging role I did a movie called American woman that was very emotionally draining and I loved that character probably more than any character but it was very very hard to imagine the loss of a child as a parent as anyone I have tended to be drawn to very dark material my formative youth was intense very very intense and to have an outlet for some of that intensity was probably made me drawn to dark work your formative youth while you when you were first starting to act or before that I think my 20s you know my very public 20s you were covered so intensely from such a I was reading about the age is when you were first with Jude La I mean you were 21 it's just I know do you ever look back now and think oh poor 21y old Cen I wish I could tell her this yeah of course I mean honestly it feels like a different life and a different person's experience it was all so surreal and chaotic that it's it's sometimes it's hard to connect that that's the same person I do have sympathy yes for all the women of that moment right it was this frenzy before phones and social media before all of that I think a lot of people really derailed because of it I love anatomy of a scandal and I then remember reading the article about how you could hear your heartbeat in the scene when the infidelity is revealed and yeah it just made me wonder about how personally and emotionally invested you get when you're doing a scene like that I think that in order to to successfully achieve an emotional state you probably have to connect it to things that happened in your life there was something incredibly familiar about that particular scene and dynamic and knowing that on the other side of that scene of him revealing an affair was a huge amount of tabloid detention and it was it was just very easy to sense memory I was surprised by the fact that my heart started to thump it's weird but you but you really do store obviously you store trauma and memory in your body and when it's and when you can access it for work I think that's great versus it coming out in other relationships where have you been you have been very vocal about pay equity and earning the same or at least closer to the same as your male counterparts yes has that been something that you felt has been successful has there been progress made definitely been progress made for sure I mean I think uh I'm in an industry where the disparity was enormous but I think it was more important to focus on how that translates across the world in every industry and I think that I was very fortunate and I worked with Chadwick Boseman who donated some of his salary to get me up to a number that I had asked for for a film that we did together which was astounding and I have shared that story with many a male actor who have gten very quiet in the aftermath a lot of it comes down for from being able to advocate for yourself which is something I've had to learn I think I would have happily done any of the work that I've done for free and and it's been a reckoning to try to realize your own value did that come naturally or was that something no okay because I mean you famously you took on new the world yes that did come naturally interesting do you regret any part of that because it it just felt like you had to do and for people who don't know in 2019 you sued news of the world or the Murdoch organization 2019 it must have been earlier theaction was in 2005 I think I then so then the new the world shut down 2000 and something I mean in in great part due to your lawsuit which is kind of amazing I don't regret that I'm very very proud of that I would love to have not had to do any of it you know but it but it does feel like a reclaiming of a narrative or just taking something on a Goliath what is the worst thing a taboy has ever printed about you or the most painful oh my God again I mean not to yeah this really fun happy Sunday to you too the worst thing a tabloid has ever printed about me I guess you know they hacked my medical records They blagged them from my doctor and printed that I was pregnant I know I have to say researching this was the first time I'd ever heard about a blagger I wondered if when this new pregnancy was revealed did it have any not repercussions but re reminders of that earlier breaking of your medical privacy I think in all honesty they knew for months that I was pregnant I remember they were emailing my publ saying we've heard rumors but obviously we would never print anything that you know and I we just wouldn't respond that did feel like a giant step because there would have there was no respect for that kind of sensitivity of information back then for any woman it was a very different time is there a way to sort of quiet the noise of the media and just sort of power on in your own personal life can you sort of separate the two you don't look really yeah people say that and I just find it remarkable there are moments where you're aware of something like my pregnant being photographed on a beach when I was pregnant I just was like I have to see what that is wow but on the whole you can turn down the Noise by not engaging and I think there can be a tendency especially on like a hangover to like read the comments and it's a form of self harm That's not healthy sure but if you don't engage with it and you don't read it and you don't give it power it it really becomes an irrelevant Force I have to say I found it quite shocking after the news of your pregnancy came out that there was a lot of discussion online wow she's having a child at such an advanced age and I thought how old is Sia Miller I thought she was in her late 30s and I was like expecting they were talking about so a 50-year-old what do you think that culturally is about is that people are truly don't aren't familiar with that I think that people are comfortable with a way of living that has existed for many years which is very misogynistic and patriarchal and like me being the older woman in a partnership with a young person or being pregnant over 40 and that that's irresponsible and a poor child it's it's such double standards and it's so I think it's so unquestioned in people's minds it's just a trit easy target but it's absurd I mean I was very fortunate I wasn't necessarily trying to get pregnant this happened as a total surprise and biologically you know was something that my body was able to do and and I just find that judgment it's so one-sided and it's so sad do you you have different expectations of motherhood this time around 10 years on do you feel like you're more realistic or you I have expectations whereas I had none before Oh interesting I think I feel much more prepared psychologically than I was before with Marlo the reality was quite it was quite a shock I was 29 when I got pregnant and I had her at 30 and I just hadn't given it the thought that I guess it I I guess you can't prepare for it in my mind this is going to be the easiest coziest sweetest cuz I've completely forgotten the reality of having a new more maybe I loved reading that British Vogue last year described it as a there's something of a seance a foot yeah does it feel that way to you does this feel like a new chapter a new I feel like every decade there's a Cen you know I like I EB and flow my plan is to still be ebbing and flowing at 80 I'm excited I have some really great work next year that I can't talk about and I am having a baby and I'm so happy about that and I do find myself happier and happier the older I get so in that sense yes I've never been particularly able to comprehend whatever perspective people have of me so if there is a Sienna sance I I don't I wouldn't be able to connect to it but I'm yes it sounds like a nice thing Sienna this has been such a pleasure I'm so excited for your journey now to The Hamptons for your big shoot thank you and many many happy returns of the day with uh Annie Li woods and Tabitha tomorrow think it's going to be fantastic agree and goodbye to everyone from the vog [Music] closet
