Millie Mackintosh attended a Mini Me kidswear event in Chelsea on Sunday with her two daughters, leading a group of celebrity parents who brought their children to a Backstage Chelsea X Kidswear Collective pop-up.
The Made in Chelsea star, 36, spent the morning at the salon as organisers offered mini manicures, hair styling and other child-focused activities to celebrate the launch of the baby and children's clothing shop's temporary London location. Mackintosh was photographed with her youngest daughter, Aurelia, three, and shared footage on Instagram showing her eldest, four-year-old Sienna, receiving a fake tattoo and face jewels at the event.
Other attendees included Made in Chelsea alumnus Ollie Locke and his husband Gareth, Strictly Come Dancing professional Nadiya Bychkova with her daughter Mila, 7, and Love Island alumnus Chyna Mills with her daughter Havana, 23 months. Jack Whitehall’s fianc� Roxy Horner attended with her sister Riana and their children. Photographs from the salon showed relaxed interactions between parents and children; Bychkova was seen in a salon chair while her daughter helped style her hair.
Mackintosh arrived in a grey button-up cardigan, bootleg jeans and red patent loafers. Nadiya Bychkova wore a leather biker jacket, a graphic T-shirt and light blue jeans. Chyna Mills opted for a nude oversized coat with black jeans and cow-print trainers. The Kidswear Collective pop-up sells past-season and pre-loved children’s clothing, positioning itself as a more sustainable option in children’s fashion by encouraging reuse and reducing waste.
Mackintosh has been public about her experience following an adult diagnosis of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) last year. In an Instagram post reflecting on the diagnosis, she wrote that understanding how her brain works "has helped me be so much kinder to myself and to forgive myself for ways I have acted in the past." She described feeling that many aspects of her life made more sense after the diagnosis and said she sometimes uses ADHD medication on days when she needs to focus for work, adding that it can increase her anxiety and make her feel more tired the following day.
She also said she suspects one of her daughters may have ADHD, though she did not identify which child. Mackintosh described parenting with ADHD as challenging, citing "massive meltdowns" and the difficulty of not reacting when triggered. She described routine as helpful and said term time feels calmer than weekends or holidays without school structure.
Mackintosh noted a longer medical and emotional history that included diagnoses of dyspraxia during school and longstanding experiences with anxiety and depression. She outlined lifestyle measures that have improved her wellbeing, including prioritising sleep, setting firm boundaries, reducing alcohol, daily exercise and dietary changes. She wrote that a shift to a whole-food, protein-focused, low-carbohydrate plan earlier in the year had made her feel better and that broadcaster Mel Robbins prompted her to seek testing.
The event highlighted a blend of celebrity parenting and a growing market for sustainable children’s fashion, with families using the salon pop-up as an opportunity for socialising and styling while promoting pre-loved clothing options.
