While film critics panned it, the 2009 American military science fiction action film G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra opened at the top of the box office and grossed over $302 million worldwide by the end of its run.
Sienna Miller as the Baroness: A Stylish Yet Challenging Role
Sienna Miller starred as Anastasia “Ana” DeCobray / Baroness, a villainess associated with G.I. Joe’s nemesis, Cobra. Her Baroness look featured an ultra-fitted leather corset, knee-high boots, and bold aviator glasses, giving the character an unforgettable high-fashion dominatrix vibe.

How old was Sienna Miller as the Baroness in G.I. Joe?
Based on the toy franchise created by Hasbro, the film was released on August 6, 2009, when Sienna Miller was 27 years old. Born on December 28, 1981, in New York, she turned 28 on December 28, 2009. Filming began on February 11, 2008, when she was 26.

In Snake Eyes, the third installment of the G.I. Joe film series that is due for release on October 22, 2021, Spanish actress Úrsula Corberó Delgado will play the role of Anastasia “Ana” DeCobray / Baroness.
Sienna Miller’s Reaction to G.I. Joe Sequels
When interviewed by Forbes in 2019, Sienna seemed unaware of the sequels.
“I’m sorry,” she responded when journalist Simon Thompson told her he’d seen both movies. “You saw both of them? Wait, there was a second one? Well, they didn’t bring me back.”

“There are roles in those kinds of things that would be fun and things that I think my kid would like. I just haven’t been offered that yet. I would be open to it. I know what I can do now, and I know what I can’t do,” she said.
Why Sienna Miller Regrets Playing a Villain
“I shouldn’t have played a villain in a comic book because I’m just not that villainous or tall or strong. I am internally, of course, but I couldn’t fire a gun without blinking. I’m not a particularly physically threatening presence. The whole thing was a bit of a disaster from start to finish.”

On-Set Injury: Sienna Miller Burned Herself While Filming
In August 2009, Sienna told Conan O’Brien that she almost destroyed her breasts while filming the movie: “I burnt my boobs in an explosion that went wrong.”
“Channing Tatum was carrying me down an exploding corridor and a spark went down my rather large cleavage at the time. But they’re fine now, no lasting damage.”
From Socialite to Hollywood Star
Sienna Miller first burst onto the public scene as a socialite with incredible London style and an even more impressive dating repertoire. Still, the actress has come a long way since her partying days and has blossomed into her own.

Sienna later arrived at the VIP party of Eva Cavalli, the wife of fashion designer Roberto Cavalli, wearing the same outfit she had been photographed in at the film festival.
She wore a dress from the Michael Kors Spring 2016 collection and showed off her feet in silver Aquazzura “Linda” heels.
At the festival, Sienna discussed her character in the film, describing her as “selfish.” She later joined the VIP party, where other big fashion names, such as Kendall Jenner and Cara Delevingne, were also present.

Sienna Miller is no stranger to making a fashion statement on and off the red carpet. While her Baroness look in G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra was defined by striking thigh-high boots and an edgy dominatrix aesthetic, her real-life style leans toward effortless sophistication.
A perfect example? Her love for Aquazzura—one of Hollywood’s most sought-after footwear brands, known for blending elegance with modern glamour. From dazzling red carpet moments to effortlessly chic street style, celebrities, including Miller, continue to embrace Aquazzura’s signature heels.
