Sienna Miller made her Broadway debut in 'After Miss Julie' and showed off her long legs as she exited in an extremely short dress. While her slender figure may have delighted the crowd outside, her acting credentials came under more scrutiny.

Vogue editor Anna Wintour and playwright Sir David Hare were among those in the audience.
