There is a video on YouTube hailing from 2018 in which Sienna Miller is chatting away to her make-up artist and confidante Wendy Rowe about her beauty secrets. She of course mentions the usual rules spouted by celebrities of towering beauty: sleep, yoga, removing make-up before bed, and so on and so forth. Then Sienna bashfully says between giggles: “I think a good love life makes people glow, doesn’t it?”
This moment — that one little candid, naughty, between-we-friends admission — is precisely why this video remained lodged in my memory; it’s rare to see an A-lister deviate from the accepted party lines about beauty, rarer still for one to so candidly bring sex up as part of her glowing skin arsenal. I returned to it the other day to double check that Sienna had, indeed, equated sex with glow because it felt topical now that we are all collectively in the pursuit of her level of luminosity.
