Millie Mackintosh's £60 Chelsea Flower Show dress is perfect for summer events
Millie Mackintosh wore a floral maxi dress from her Friends Like These collection with Next, and it's the perfect occasionwear dress that'll see you through all your summer events When she attended last week's Chelsea Flower Show, Millie Mackintosh not only nailed the floral theme in her maxi dress, but she also gave us some instant inspo on how to dress for summer occasions, too. The former Made in Chelsea star wore the Cream Chiffon Occasion Ruffle Maxi Dress from her Friends Like These collection, and it was everything we were looking for when it came to even dressing. The dress is available at Next for £59 and is part of Millie's latest spring/summer collection with the brand, and was designed to be the perfect elevated evening or occasion look. It's currently available in all sizes from 8 to 22, although the 8 is currently sold out. The maxi dress features a flattering V-neckline and has frill detailing along the neckline as well as along the underbust seam. This combined with the tie bow in the centre and fluttering short sleeves also give it a breezy, romantic feel. It's made from lightweight chiffon which makes it comfortable to wear and perfect for warmer weather, and gives it a floaty look that nails this season's boho trend. The two-tiered hemline also adds a little volume and drama that makes it more evening appropriate. Although the colourful floral print makes it perfect for the summer, if you've got a wedding coming up and think it might be too predominantly white to wear, we've found some other great high street options to shop, too. This ASOS DESIGN Petite Flutter Sleeve Maxi Dress With Ruffle Godets in Pink Floral Print is £70 and has a similar silhouette to Milly's gorgeous dress. It has short flutter sleeves that help cover your upper arms and a sweetheart neckline, and is more fitted in the bodice than Milly's flowing maxi dress. However the skirt features vertical ruffle details that give it plenty of movement and flow, whilst the pink floral print makes sure you don't end up wearing too much white to a wedding. Meanwhile River Island's limited edition Blue Floral Ruffle Slip Maxi Dress is £85 and features a bold blue background with an oversized white floral print that's perfect for making an impact. It has asymmetrical straps and a simple ruffle detail on the shoulder, whilst the dress itself has a classic bias cut slip style that's flattering and chic. However if you want to copy Millie's style, you can snap up her Cream Chiffon Occasion Ruffle Maxi Dress in sizes 10 to 22 for £59 at Next now.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a behavioural condition defined by inattentiveness, hyperactivity and impulsiveness. It affects around five per cent of children in the US. Some 3.6 per cent of boys and 0.85 per cent of girls suffer in the UK. Symptoms typically appear at an early age and become more noticeable as a child grows. These can also include: Constant fidgeting Poor concentration Excessive movement or talking Acting without thinking Inability to deal with stress Little or no sense of danger Careless mistakes Mood swings Forgetfulness Difficulty organising tasks Continually starting new tasks before finishing old ones Inability to listen or carry out instructions Most cases are diagnosed between six and 12 years old. Adults can also suffer, but there is less research into this. ADHD's exact cause is unclear but is thought to involve genetic mutations that affect a person's brain function and structure. Premature babies and those with epilepsy or brain damage are more at risk. ADHD is also linked to anxiety, depression, insomnia, Tourette's and epilepsy. There is no cure. A combination of medication and therapy is usually recommended to relieve symptoms and make day-to-day life easier.

It comes after Millie admitted she 'barely recognises the person she used to be' as she shared a 'drunken' throwback snap in a candid Instagram post. She went sober more than two years ago following the realisation that she had become an 'angry' drunk. As an MIC original, Millie's early scenes on the show often revolved around partying and drinking leading to flare-ups with fellow cast members which she has since claimed got in the way of her relationships. Continuing to raise awareness of sobriety and how much her life has changed for the good since going alcohol free, Millie wrote: 'Now vs. Then. 'Looking back ten years, I barely recognise the person I used to be—drinking heavily, always hungover, and completely lost. 'I was stuck in a cycle of self-medicating, not realising that the change I so badly needed was waiting for me on the other side of discomfort. 'Choosing an alcohol-free life has been the best decision I've ever made. It's the ultimate life hack—realising that I have the power to say no. 'Not because I have to, but because I get to. Sobriety isn't a sacrifice; it's a privilege, a gift I've given to myself, and one I'll never take for granted. 'The journey from bad drunk to alcohol-free has been the most transformative thing I've ever done. And hearing from so many of you who are on this path too means so much. 'Your messages about my book and your own experiences remind me why this conversation is so important. 'If you're navigating this too, know that you're not alone—we're in this together. How are you feeling about your own journey right now? Let's chat. ✨' Millie decided to go and see a sober coach, who helped her and has now steered clear of booze for more than two years.

Made in Chelsea star has fans rushing to Next for 'gorgeous' clothing
The former Made in Chelsea star, 35, has released her SS25 clothing range in collaboration with Friends Like These, exclusively available at Next - and fans are obsessed Former Made in Chelsea star and fashion favourite Millie Mackintosh has had fashion fans scrambling to get their hands on her holiday-ready wardrobe after sharing a range of summer ensembles with her Instagram followers. It comes as the reality star has released her highly anticipated SS25 clothing range in collaboration with Friends Like These, exclusively available at Next. The edit, which launched in two drops, taps into the season's latest trends, channelling Millie's signature breezy, boho-luxe vibe. Shot against the sun-soaked backdrop of Cape Town, the collection is packed with light, effortless pieces that are both relaxed yet elegant, which Next says are 'perfect for sunny days and special occasions'. The edit features a covetable mix of flowy dresses, chic co-ords, and breezy blouses, with prices starting from £22 and going up to £66. The colour palette leans into summer's softest side, with standout shades like buttermilk yellow - this season's 'it' colour - as well as hues of blue, crisp whites and soft pinks. On Instagram, Millie shared her excitement: 'This second release of my SS25 collection with @friendslikethese feels like a true celebration of summer style — a blend of beautiful, throw-on pieces that still feel considered and chic. It's been a dream to bring this collection to life — from sourcing the softest fabrics to perfecting those finishing details that make a piece feel just right.' The 35-year-old told followers she's worth the collection on the school run, out to meeting and dinners and even on holiday, including a trip to the Maldives earlier this year. She shared a snap of the Pink Ombre Ombre Millie Mackintosh Satin V-Neck Ruffle Sleeve Midi Dress on her socials during the trip, and her fans went into a frenzy trying to find out where to buy it. One wrote: 'Where's the dress from, it's gorgeous on you?' with another penning: 'Anyone managed to find out where the dress was from?' and a third adding: 'Where's your dress in first pic from? Or is there a high street version?' As to be expected, as soon as shoppers worked out where to buy the £48 frock, it flew off the virtual shelves and is now almost sold out. For a similar colour palette, Debenhams has this Warehouse Ombre Strappy Satin Maxi Sundress for £69, while New Look's Pink Ombre Pleated Satin Maxi Dress is a more purse-friendly £39.99. For something more high-end, though, Karen Millen's Ombre Mesh Strappy Beach Dress for £79 is a great choice. But the pink satin number isn't the only eye-catching piece from the collection. The Friends Like These Cream Short Sleeve Millie Mackintosh Tie Front Pleated Blouse, £32, is a great elevated basic that will dress up your denim shorts, jeans or skirts for a chic look. Meanwhile, a lot of followers have been eyeing up the Premium Double Breasted Gold Button Blazer from the edit, which is £65. The mum-of-two, who is married to fellow Made in Chelsea star, Hugo Taylor, shared a clip wearing the blazer, where fans all said the same thing: 'Love the suit,' 'Love the suit with that beautiful vintage silk scarf,' and 'Love that suit and especially the colour.' Coming in sizes 8-22, the double breasted blazer boasts gold buttons for a luxe finish, and can be styled with the matching trousers for an elevated look at the races or even for a bride. Millie added: 'It's the kind of wardrobe that works with your life: effortless enough for everyday, elevated enough for evenings, and perfect for packing if you've got a summer getaway on the cards. (I've already earmarked a few pieces for my suitcase).' We suspect the Crinkle Lace Trim Tiered Midi Sun Dress is one such piece thanks to the fact it won't require any ironing. It even has a shirred back panel to ensure a comfortable yet secure fit, as well as an adjustable tie waist belt to flatter your figure. Plus the £59 Chiffon Occasion Ruffle Maxi Dress is a beautiful option if you're going for dinner or drinks at the bar. Featuring a V-neckline with frill detailing, a frilly underbust seam with tie bow detailing in the centre, flutter sleeves, and a flowy two tiered hem, it's perfect for a more elevated spring/summer evening or occasion look.
