Sienna appeared at the Leveson Inquiry into press standards and ethics today, to give evidence about press intrusion into her life. I tweeted a link to watch the live stream a few days ago, so hopefully some of you were able to catch it. Further down this post are tweets/live updates from MSN’s coverage of the inquiry, that give us a basic overview of what was said. I will post any further articles, plus pictures (which seems a bit inappropriate, but we’ll see!), later today.

Does anyone know if there’s anywhere online where we can re-watch Sienna’s testimony?

What are your thoughts on this inquiry and Sienna’s evidence? I’d be really interested to hear some of your opinions…

All tweets from MSN’s live updates:

Sienna Miller is now in the witness box. She looks happy to be here and is smiling at Leveson as he thanks her for being here.

Sienna Miller has told the court she has been ‘spat at’ and ‘relentlessly pursued’ by reporters.

Miller now has an order against paparazzi so her life has dramatically changed.

Sienna was in Beverley Hills last night, attending the Annual International Medical Corps Awards Celebration, at which she was honoured for her work with the charity! She looked fresh, pretty and sophisticated in a little black dress, ankle boots, and her hair in a (very large!) bun – I think she looks fantastic, and very appropriate for such an event. It was a great honour for her to receive this award, and I’m sure she’s very proud! Sienna says that the International Medical Corps is a cause very close to her heart.

I’ve added almost 150 photos of Sienna looking gorgeous at the event, including over 60 HQs. Enjoy the photos, and then head on over to InternationalMedicalCorps.org to read more about their work and what Sienna does with them.

On receiving the award, the blonde beauty said: “After seeing International Medical Corps’ courageous work up-close I was determined to become more involved. These people work in the toughest conditions imaginable, saving lives every single day, and bringing self-reliance and hope to the world’s most vulnerable people. I am honored to be their ambassador.”
