Public service announcement: another M&S X Sienna Miller collaboration collection is here, and if you thought last time was good then you're in for an even bigger treat this time around.
Landing online and in stores today, the 31st October, the line-up has come exactly when we needed it to: i.e. now that all those Christmas invites have started to pour in.

The first edit, which launched back in June, became a sell-out success in a matter of minutes with everything from those barrel leg jeans (which are being re-stocked in two new washes, FYI) to ruffle-trim boho frocks flying off the shelves. So this time? We're acting faster than ever.
“It was an absolute pleasure to be invited back by the M&S team. I loved working on the debut collection and couldn’t wait to do it all over again,” says Sienna Miller. “Seeing my designs in the real world is so rewarding. I love how each individual wears and styles them and I can’t wait to see their reaction to round two this winter!”
Taking inspiration from her own archive, this instalment brings 35 new and glamorous silhouettes to the table, finished in statement prints and embellishments, with faux furs thrown in the mix – think disco, Studio 54 and the festive season.
“I've always loved that era and I don't think anyone parties quite like they did back then, so I tried to capture that spirit,” Sienna says.
“The lead up to Christmas is an exciting time of year for customers, from festive celebrations to winter weddings, and we know they're looking for stylish outfitting options to really wow their friends and family,” says M&S Womenswear Director Maddy Evans. “Sienna’s personal style resonates so well with the nation and this collection delivers elevated and premium party wear designed by a British style icon known for her red-carpet style.”
It's true: Each piece embraces the high/low dressing both Sienna and Marks & Spencer is known for – whether that's hosting friends at a dinner at home or gracing a star-studded event – all while taking things like the weather into consideration.
“Party season can be hard because it's obviously freezing outside and boiling inside,” says Sienna, adding of her favourite piece: “the sequin dress is fantastic, so I'd probably wear that… I will be wearing that.” At just under £100 it's the perfect winter wedding guest dress that could be styled up with some comfortable heels and a chic blazer, but equally worn just as easily on holiday come spring/summer.

According to M&S, one of Sienna's favourite pieces is the lace-trim silk maxi dress as it's reminiscent of pre-loved vintage designs she's sourced amongst the stalls of Portobello Market. She also adds: “I love the jeans. I loved the jeans in summer, I love them now, but I think that the beaded two piece co-ord is pretty fabulous. Knowing the craftsmanship that went into making it – it was all hand-beaded – it feels like a very elevated piece.”
Other key pieces include the chevron sequin mini dress, a nod to her love of David Bowie in his Ziggy Stardust era, and the faux fur jacket featuring buckles inspired by Sienna’s classic noughties pirate boots.
And, if you're not one for all the frills and fancies, season-less wardrobe essentials that Sienna couldn't live without have also been included in the capsule. Find everything from silk blouses inspired by the Chloé runways, to knitwear and women's trouser suits/tailoring (like the three-piece suit she wore to celebrate the launch of the second collection).
Not that M&S needed to remind us, especially with clothing and home sales up by 5.3% in the year ending March 2024, but it's collections like this that prove the high-street retailer is on top of its game – and attuned to what's trending, particularly among Gen-Z and millennials.
As a fashion writer, M&S has never felt cooler.
