Monica Winfield without a skirt!
Monica 'Just call me Sienna' Winfield

Mon-knickers day out

Film star Sienna Miller hit the headlines after going to the party for her new film 'Factory Girl' without a skirt. But would this look work in Leicester? BBC Radio Leicester presenter Monica Winfield went into the city centre to try it out...

Sienna Miller wore just a big furry jumper, black tights and black knickers to the after-premiere party of her new film, but would the look work on the streets of Leicester?

BBC Radio Leicester presenter Monica Winfield donned her own black top, black tights and knickers and took to the streets to find out.

Before she left the studio, Monica told Tony Wadsworth that it felt a bit strange being in a public place without a skirt on:

"You know that anxiety dream you have where you're the only one naked - it's like that...very odd but strangely liberating."

Some people liked Mon's new look

But once Monica was out in the city centre, standing by the clock tower in her "big Bridget Jones knickers", her feelings changed.

Radio car reporter Rupal Rajani asked member of the public what they thought of Monica's new look and most of the women she talked to liked it and said Monica looked fantastic!

The men were a bit less sure, and one even said that it was only "passable", but others thought she looked "sexy" and one even wanted her to turn around so he could get a better look!

But will Monica be adopting this look in the future?

"I thought I would feel utterly, utterly embarrassed but I feel a million dollars...people are turning to look and not in a disparaging way, I'm thinking maybe there's something in this!"
