Sienna Miller's Very Short Dress Makes Broadway Debut

By PopEater Staff Posted Oct 23rd 2009 06:49AM

Sienna Miller made her Broadway debut in 'After Miss Julie' and showed off her long legs as she exited in an extremely short dress. While her slender figure may have delighted the crowd outside, her acting credentials came under more scrutiny.

Just days after The NYTimes apologized for publishing an interview which wrongly quoted the late Heath Ledger and Sean Combs as former lovers, reviewer Ben Brantley confessed that he was initially 'rooting' for Miller but "she plays like a novice at a piano, plunking down each note loudly and individually."

Terry Teachout, a theatre critic for the Wall Street Journal stuck the knife in." A model turned second-tier movie star, all she does is stalk around the stage striking vampy poses... she has no more business playing a classic stage role than I have posing for the cover of Vogue," he said.

"Miller can have such great style sometimes, and other times you have to wonder what she was thinking," says Diane Davis of Stylelist. "This dress is a great color on her and her legs look amazing, but I don't get the ripped cutouts. Cutouts were big on the runways for next spring, but here, combined with a ripped hemline, they just look like a mistake. It makes me sad -- you're beautiful, Sienna, dress that way!"

She received support in some corners, with The Associated Press saying she was 'compelling' while the Chicago Tribune critic Chris Jones said she delivered a 'gutsy' performance that was 'eminently watchable'.

Vogue editor Anna Wintour and playwright Sir David Hare were among those in the audience.

How can you title an article with a comment on her short dress, open with a comment on her long legs, and not show them. The Daily Wimp.

I saw Sienna a week ago in the show, and I am baffled by these negative reviews. I thought she did well--convincing in the character and charismatic on stage. Sometimes I think reviewers are determined to bring down celebs whose lives hit the tabloids. I believe the Brantley and Teachout reviews are dead wrong.
