ReformationJust saw the Graham Norton episode, she was lovely. I liked her dress as well, can anyone ID it?
In our increasingly health-conscious culture, getting a radiant, flawless complexion is less and less tied to what you put on your skin, and more about what you put in your body—which certainly hasn’t been lost on makeup artists and skin-care practitioners who are doubling down on their efforts to bring healthy food options, tinctures, and supplements into the beauty and wellness space. Makeup artist and Burberry Beauty artistic consultant Wendy Rowe’s contribution to the conversation arrived stateside in December in the form of Eat Beautiful, a 250-plus page book that marks a decades-spanning achievement for the British-born Rowe who grew up cooking with her mother, and who has been doling out healthy eating advice to her star-studded client list—which includes Anja Rubik, and the actress Sienna Miller—ever since. “These kinds of things can be such a drag, but it just feels like there is so much love in this room,” Miller said last night at New York’s The Fat Radish restaurant, where a tight-knit group of Rowe’s longtime friends and supporters gathered to enjoy a celebratory sampling of dishes from her debut volume of recipes, beauty advice, and general tips on how to live well.
Served family-style, Rowe’s Sticky Chile Beef—perfectly portioned pieces of steak cut into semisweet sticky morsels and set atop a salad of mandolined watermelon radishes and cucumber—and some of the most delectable salmon this writer has ever tasted, roasted to perfection at Rowe’s direction, and sitting on a bed of spiced–coconut milk broth and beautifully braised fennel were a few of the menu’s standouts. “I can’t believe you all turned up,” an emotional Rowe said to the candlelit room of smiling faces, as the photographers Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, models like Toni Garrn and Coco Rocha, fellow makeup artists including Dick Page and Rosemarie Swift, and stylists like Melanie Ward and Elissa Santisi looked on. “You’ve all been a part of my journey to get me where I am today,” Rowe continued—a delicious destination, to be sure.
thelovemagazine.co.ukOn being shot by Kendall Jenner, Sienna only has warm words. ‘I trust the magazine and I trust Katie, so I thought the photos Kendall took of Kaia [Gerber, for LOVE issue 16] were beautiful.’ So she entered the experiment. ‘I was so impressed with her as a photographer. She’s definitely got an aesthetic. She was really professional, took it very seriously, and understood everything involved. It did what the magazine does in terms of embracing new people and giving them opportunities.’ Unlike Kendall, Sienna only has a private Instagram account. She’s being encouraged by her representatives to go public. Is she worried it might open a similar floodgate to before, when every detail of her private life, every soiree into the night and trip home in the morning was poured over, blurring the focus on her clear and present acting talent? 'No,' she responds flatly. 'Also, I don’t care now. It doesn’t affect me. It affected me then, which somehow perpetuated it. But I don’t give a **** now. Anyone can say anything and it doesn’t bother me, and I’m secure in my ability to do my job. And anything else that’s extraneous I don’t care about. I think I just became a mother and I grew up.’
Sienna Miller
Actress
Sienna Miller’s trademark, according to her IMDb page, is that she ‘often plays chain-smoking, drug-addicted and emotionally-drained characters.’ The actress' looks mock-aghast when informed of the accreditation when we meet for an early lunch in a West Village corner bistro. ‘As in the interesting people?’ she laughs. ‘Yes. Why would I not? If you can watch a wife who’s emotionally drained and drug-addicted, it’ s much more interesting, isn’t it?’ She pauses for a moment to consider her roles from her past. ‘That’s not true anyway, is it? I’m trying to think now. I’ve definitely played a few junkies. But she’s not.’
‘Sienna was awesome. She’s so natural and completely goes into a zone, which I guess comes from how brilliant she is as an actress. She killed it. It was a day before we went into the desert, at the Beverly Hills hotel so it was really intimate. She seemed to find it so easy and she was moving around a ton. We’ve met before but we’ve never hung out. She knows Cara really well so it was great to get a chance to hang out with her’ – Kendall Jenner
