An insider told The Daily Star: "Sienna is the hottest young actress around and would be the perfect Bond girl. She’s beautiful, talented, British and a real style icon.

"And that red hot chemistry with Daniel and you have all the makings of the best Bond ever."

It seems film bosses wanted her for Casino Royale but failed to come to an agreement - and now the 38-year-old actor has apparently been trying to persuade Sienna to sign up for the next outing.

She said: "I don’t think Daniel has the time to be my agent at the moment" - before letting slip: "How could anyone say no to James Bond?"

Sienna’s ’pants over tights’ sets trend Feb 1 - 2007
Sienna Miller’s appearance in what looked like black pants over thick tights may have prompted a new fashion trend, a retailer said today.

The 25-year-old actress stepped out in the unusual outfit for a New York party after the premiere of her new film Factory Girl.

Asda’s fashion arm George today said sales of its £6 black control pants had soared after photographs of Sienna appeared in the press.

Around 230% more of the big knickers were snapped up compared to the last week.

George spokesman Ed Watson said Sienna’s "pants over tights" combo had met with scepticism in some corners.

"Our customers have said knickers to that and are buying them by the shed load - they love them," he said.

Fashion experts say Sienna was actually wearing "micro shorts" which are tipped to be a big trend this summer.


Sienna shines at Warhol premiere - Jan 29 2007
Sienna Miller dazzled at the premiere of her first major movie last night, but admitted she was nervous about how the critics would rate it.

The British actress, who plays Andy Warhol’s muse Edie Sedgwick in Factory Girl, said getting the 60s starlet’s brother and husband’s approval had eased her mind.

Sienna, 25, conceded recently that it was her "soap opera" relationship with Jude Law that made her famous, saying the problem was that none of the three films she has been in so far was successful enough to overshadow that spotlight.

"I think there’s always an amount of trepidation," she said on the red carpet in New York when asked how she was feeling about the reviewers.

"But Edie’s brother saw it and said that he loved it and her husband thought that it was like her, so I feel like if those people are happy I don’t really mind too much."

Sedgwick was Warhol’s brightest protege until she died from an overdose of barbiturates in 1971.

Sienna wore a glittery white 60s-style mini-dress covered in tassels, silver Burberry shoes and jewellery by Stephen Webster and Hearts on Fire.

The vintage frock was from Los Angeles boutique The Way We Wore.

Factory Girl sees her star opposite former Neighbours heartthrob Guy Pearce, who played Mike in the Australian soap, as Warhol.

Jude warns Sienna about fame game? - Jan 29 2007
It seems Jude Law has got a few words of warning for ex-girlfriend Sienna Miller - over her Hollywood ambitions.

The Alfie star apparently warned Sienna to stop networking with high profile names, feeling she is trying to "take over Hollywood", the Daily Express reports.

"It appears he thinks it’s an attempt by Sienna to become a more important Hollywood name than he is," a source told the paper.

"He’s been an established player for several years with films like The Talented Mr Ripley and Cold Mountain but never quite made it to the top of the A list."
