Sienna attended a breast cancer charity event in London last night, looking fabulous in a little peachy-pink Matthew Williamson dress – I love this look on her! The event benefitted the breast cancer charity Too Many Women, and was hosted by high street label All Saints. It raised £130,500 for the charity. Read the charity’s official blog post report on the night at their official website.

(On a semi-related note, Matthew Williams designed a gorgeous charm bracelet for the charity, which you can find out more about right here.)

Sienna attended the event with her mum and very pregnant sister Savannah – congrats to Savannah! Inside the event Sienna was snapped with Ronnie Wood and Lily Donalson.

Pics are in the Gallery for you – what do you think of Sienna’s look? And scroll down this post for a few tidits from the event.

Sienna has put her name to another charitable petition, and an incredibly important one in my book! Read more below, and please take a few seconds to add your name to the petition at http://www.NoCruelCosmetics.org.

Stage and screen star Sienna Miller is supporting the BUAV No Cruel Cosmetics campaign to end animal testing for toiletries and cosmetics sold in the EU. Sienna joins a number of high profile celebrities supporting the BUAV campaign, including Sir Paul McCartney, Pussycat Doll Kimberly Wyatt and British Actress Jenny Seagrove.

Despite a UK and EU ban on the use of animals to test cosmetics and toiletries, companies are still allowed to sell products in the EU that have been tested on animals in other parts of the world. A ban on the import and sale of new animal tested cosmetic products in the EU is due to come into effect in 2013. However, concerns have arisen that this animal testing ban may be delayed. In response, the BUAV launched the European-wide No Cruel Cosmetics campaign calling for the ban to come into effect as planned in 2013.

If the ban is delayed, animals will continue to suffer and die needlessly in cruel tests for new beauty products sold in the EU. That means that hundreds of thousands more rabbits, guinea pigs, mice and rats could be injected, gassed or force-fed cosmetics worldwide for new beauty products sold in the EU, including the UK.

Over one hundred thousand people across the UK and EU, including Sienna, have already signed the No Cruel Cosmetics petition which is being sent to the European Parliament. The BUAV petition can be signed at http://www.NoCruelCosmetics.org.

Michelle Thew, Chief Executive of BUAV, said: “We are delighted to have the support of Sienna Miller. It is totally unacceptable for animals to continue to suffer and die in the name of beauty. Please join Sienna and support our No Cruel Cosmetics campaign to end cosmetics testing on animals. Sign our petition to the European Parliament at http://www.NoCruelCosmetics.org.”

Celebrities, politicians, cosmetic companies and European citizens are being urged to sign the Euro-wide petition calling for the animal testing ban to go ahead in 2013.

Actress Sienna Miller, International Medical Corps Global Ambassador, Calls for Greater Attention to Humanitarian Crisis in East Africa Following Visit to Ethiopia

Los Angeles, Calif. – Actress and International Medical Corps Global Ambassador Sienna Miller returned this week from visiting International Medical Corps’ nutrition programs in the Dolo Ado camps in eastern Ethiopia, an area largely inaccessible by media. More than 120,000 Somalis – 30 percent of whom are malnourished – are seeking refuge here from the crippling effects of drought, famine, and conflict. With six regions of Somalia now facing famine, Miller is calling for greater attention to the worst humanitarian crisis in the world today where more than 12.4 million people throughout East Africa require relief.

“Without immediate humanitarian intervention, more than 390,000 children are at risk of starvation,” said Miller. “International Medical Corps is on the ground providing emergency nutrition services and health care to vulnerable populations in Ethiopia as well as in Kenya and Somalia, but they will need ongoing support to meet the massive needs, which are only expected to expand in the coming months. Ongoing support will literally make the difference between life and death for thousands of children in Ethiopia, and throughout the region.”

Having worked since 1991 in Somalia, International Medical Corps is reaching affected populations with nutrition and water, sanitation, and hygiene programs to provide a multi-faceted approach to the crisis. In Sool and Sanaag regions, the organization, with support from UNICEF, screened 11,500 children and admitted 679 children in outpatient therapeutic program sites for advanced nutrition care. Teams also distributed micro-nutrient supplements for 4,850 pregnant and lactating mothers. In addition, trainings were conducted for Ministry of Health staff on community mobilization, nutrition screening, vaccination, and referrals.

At the Dolo Ado camps in Ethiopia, International Medical Corps, in partnership with the Ethiopian Government’s Administration for Refugee and Returnee Affairs (ARRA), is providing supplementary feeding services for malnourished people, including the provision of nutrient-dense therapeutic foods. To date, approximately 5,000 children and pregnant and lactating women have undergone nutritional screening and referred to the appropriate level of therapeutic care. Teams also constructed 136 latrines and washrooms with 200 more planned and launched a hygiene campaign to thwart the spread of communicable disease in the overcrowded camps.

Obviously this event has passed now, but still interesting to see what Sienna gets involved in:

More than 80 famous names, including the actors Orlando Bloom and Sienna Miller, will participate in the annual charity day run by the trading firm BGC Partners. At the event on 12 September, celebrities will help BGC brokers to seal deals. All the cash raised will go to a selection of charities including Barnardo’s and Children in Need. The annual fundraiser is held in memory of the 658 BGC employees who died in the terrorist attacks on 11 September 2001.

Hugo Boss’s fragrance brand Boss Orange has released a campaign featuring its celebrity brand ambassadors Sienna Miller and Orlando Bloom, to promote a charity tie-up with Unicef to aid the development of schools in Madagascar.

In a video ad, Bloom and Miller outline the nature of the ‘Today. To Help. Together’ initiative between Boss Orange and Unicef and its aims.

The campaign, which has been created by Steve Elston, Izzy Critchley-Salmonson and Angela Harding at Grey London, will run online, in press ads and in Hugo Boss stores. Media buying and planning is handled by MediaCom.

Boss Orange has made an initial donation of $300,000 (£185,000) to the ‘Schools for Africa’ initiative, which aims to provide disadvantaged children with access to quality education.

Hollywood stars Dame Helen Mirren, Colin Firth and Sienna Miller have made small steps to help charity – by donating their shoes to a special auction.

The stars have joined the likes of Julie Walters, Russell Brand, Rachel Weisz, Ricky Gervais and Liam Gallagher by handing over their footwear to the Small Steps Project.

The shoes will be sold off at the London Celebrity Shoe Auction in October (11) at The Royal Society of Medicine to benefit children in poverty who live on rubbish dumps across the world.

Firth has donated a pair of his loafers and written a note to go alongside them which reads, “My old loafers, my best to the feet that find them!”

Other celebrities who have given their shoes to the cause include Simon Pegg, Ralph Fiennes, Jamie Lee Curtis, and singers Anastacia, Boy George, David Gray and Eliza Doolittle.

British actress Martine McCutcheon is leading a campaign to crack down on child trafficking in the U.K.

The Love Actually star headed to Downing Street in London on Thursday to deliver a petition to British Prime Minister David Cameron calling for improved care and protection for trafficking victims.

The letter was signed by 735,899 people, including stars Ricky Gervais, Sienna Miller, Nicole Kidman and Elizabeth Hurley. The document outlines plans for a guardianship system for young victims.

McCutcheon says, “Hundreds of vulnerable children are trafficked into the U.K. from over 52 countries. Even those who are identified are often left without proper care and support. I believe this is unacceptable.” »

At least 40 men, women and children in eastern Congo have been raped in the past two weeks, the United Nations said Friday, in the same area of the country where a series of mass sex assaults have taken place over the past several months.

Two separate groups of civilians had been returning from shopping trips to a local market on two different occasions.

“Rape continues to be a plague, a pandemic which risks spreading across the D.R.C.,” a U.N. spokesman told the New York Times.

The Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the most war-torn parts of the world. More than 5.5 million people have been killed in fighting since 1998, mainly over control of vast mineral resources. Rape has been used systematically as a weapon of enforcement by both the official army and rebel groups.

It’s estimated that someone is raped every eight minutes in the country.

Earlier this week, in an unprecedented development, a senior army officer was sentenced to no more than 20 years in prison for ordering his troops to beat and rape scores of residents in the town of Fizi in a New Year’s Day attack.

It was the first time an army officer has been held accountable in Congo for using mass rape as a weapon against the population.

In the video above, “8 Minutes in the Congo,” actress Sienna Miller reveals the horrors of mass rape in the country.

Only a really quick shot of Sienna in this, and it looks to be the same shots we saw in the Glamour behind-the-scenes video.

The TK Maxx website also has a feature on the Comic Relief campaign, with some nice shots of Sienna, although again, the same pictures we’ve seen in Glamour magazine.

If you follow/read our Twitter, then you will have read that a big 2010 candid catch-up update is in the works this weekend! I am about to start uploading them, but in the meantime I have some other Gallery goodies for you.

First up, I’ve added scans from a 2008 issue of Russian In Style, thanks to Mirik. Also new in the Magazine Scans section is a scan from the November 2010 issue of Tatler, which had a feature on horses, and features a very rare and unseen photo of Sienna riding a horse! My guess is that this photo was taken a number of years ago, as she looks quite young.

Next, thanks to Lorna we have a look at the first promo for Sienna’s upcoming stage production, Flare Path, although the photo is not actually of Sienna.

We also have a new HQ photos from the new Comic Relief t-shirt promotion, plus a few days ago I added a couple of new candids taken on Thursday in London.

Finally, I’ve added some HQs from a dinner Sienna & Savannah hosted in November 2009, to celebrate their Spring/Summer 2010 Twenty8Twelve collection. I haven’t seen photos from this event posted anywhere before, so enjoy them, as Sienna looks pretty in pink!
