LFW: The Millie Mackintosh Instagram Style Guide

If you’re looking to catch up on London Fashion Week, then I challenge you to find a better way of doing so than through a celebrities Instagram feed. With front row videos, famous friend selfies and unprecedented behind the scenes images, it almost makes you feel like you’re sitting right there on the FROW. Almost…

Former Made in Chelsea star turned fashionista, Millie Mackintosh, spent the week maintaining her stylish reign, sporting more of her signature chic boho looks, and frolicking with her Chelsea clan and other fashion A-listers. Standard week when you’re famous.

Her first snap was obviously designed to make us all green with envy, as she graciously thanked Mercedes Benz for providing her with ‘her ride for the next few days’ – a luxurious, sparkling clean 4x4. Well, I suppose you can’t take the bus to LFW.


Posing in front of her ride, Millie donned a pair of 70’s style flared trousers in a striking black and blue crocodile print. She teamed the look with a black polo neck jumper, leather jacket and pointed court shoes. Edgy.

Her first show of the season was the Felder Felder AW15 collection. Founded by identical twin sisters Annette and Daniela, Felder Felder mixes feminine rock and roll aesthetics with boho chic, and is quickly becoming a favourite among the celebrity clan, including Rihanna and Florence Welch. Millie is obviously a fan too as the collection included an array of flares, Millie’s fav.


Moving onwards, and outfit 2 of the day saw Millie donning a casual look of jeans and a fur coat, or what one of her Instagram followers described as ‘looks like wearing a chicken’. What fluffy chickens this man is accustomed to I don’t know.



Outfit 3 (yes she changed 3 times in a day) was possibly my favourite as Millie stepped out in this wonderful jacquard print Paul Costello coat. I actually have a skirt from Zara in a similar print, fancy trading Millie?


Day 2, and came (as Millie very aptly captioned) ‘the dress of dreams’. Sporting this divine, embellished Julien Macdonald number to the designers show, Millie looked almost angelic, and also paired the look with the shoes of dreams, I might add.



Millie was spotted on the FROW with a host of famous faces including Whitney Port, Rochelle Hulmes and Michelle Keegan, who all looked on in the most spectacular Julien Macdonald designed dresses.


She later slipped back in to her good old flares, however, and went for a matching monochrome 70’s look with her BFF Zara Martin. Pro Green also slipped in to the background for this photo too (where is his gaze aimed..?)


The Giles Deacon show arrived on day 3, and Millie sported her final LFW outfit (6 of 6). A look that perhaps would have been more appropriate for @jakethomps to suggest as chicken like, Millie teamed her pink fur ensemble with her failsafe white flares and a sleek hair style.


Millie even seemed to get a little excited when she spotted Kendall Jenner modelling at the show, do celebrities get star struck too??


Since then, Millie is now set to launch the SS15 range for her Millie Mackintosh Collection clothing brand, and she has teased us with a few sneak peeks on her fashion-gram too…


Vintage, floral and a hint of bridal, perfect!
