Lydia Millen’s chic Christmas: From countryside walks to dazzling dinners at The Ritz and carol concerts, inside the influencer’s very posh festivities

by

Lifestyle influencer Lydia Millen has gone all out to celebrate Christmas this year.

This year, the 37-year-old shared photos and videos of her incredibly luxurious party with her 1.7 million Instagram followers.

Lydia has kitted out her polished £2million Northamptonshire home with chic decor for Christmas.

Lydia, wearing elegant matching pajamas, filmed herself decorating her elaborate Christmas tree, with her hair neatly tied back in a stylish bow.

As Christmas approached, Lydia and her husband, Ali Gordon, who also creates online content, celebrated with a beautiful dinner at The Ritz, cozy walks in the countryside wearing their Barbour jackets, and a festive carol concert.

Lydia and Ali enjoyed a night of luxury, indulging in a three-course meal that cost £175 per person.

They looked incredibly stylish in their elegant, matching black outfits and spent the evening relaxing and enjoying champagne.

Lydia enjoys a mix of lifestyles: when she’s not at fancy dinners in London’s top hotels, she prefers a lively walk in the countryside with her dogs, Porter and Berkeley.

With Christmas just around the corner, the influencer recently attended The King’s Foundation Christmas Carols event.

Lydia, inspired by the natural world and the changing seasons, has gained a loyal following of over 4 million people who value her honest opinions. Together with Ali, they are estimated to have a combined net worth of £10 million.

Lydia responded to criticism by pointing out that everything people are bringing up about her past is information she willingly made public. She feels they aren’t revealing anything new or exposing any secrets.

Her career is really taking off. She’s now collaborated with major brands like Oscar de la Renta, FRASERS, and Space NK.

Lydia has been highlighted in major publications like Vogue, ELLE, Forbes, Harper’s Bazaar, and Marie Claire. She’s also dedicated to supporting causes she cares about, including The King’s Trust and The King’s Foundation.

Her first book, Evergreen, was a success, selling 40,000 copies. She’s also worked with popular brands like Sweed, Karen Millen, Fairfax and Favor, and Holland Cooper.

Lydia didn’t have an easy path to success; she built her career from the ground up. She started learning to code websites at just 13 years old, and her hard work has gotten her where she is today.

Born in Watford, she spent her childhood moving between her parents’ houses in Croxley Green, Hertfordshire.

Although Lydia now has a choice of luxury cars like Range Rovers and sports cars, she still remembers her first car – a Vauxhall Corsa she bought from a dealership in Croxley Green 21 years ago – with a lot of affection.

People are also very interested in Lydia’s romantic life. She and Ali started dating back in 2012.

They got engaged in December 2016 and married a year later, in December 2017, at Aynhoe Park in Northamptonshire.

Lydia began her journey as an influencer in 2011, while studying marketing at university, by starting a blog focused on lifestyle and fashion.

She started blogging by showcasing secondhand treasures she found in charity shops, along with ideas for restyling and repurposing clothes she already owned to create new outfits.

Lydia started vlogging in 2014 and two years later she went full-time as an influencer. 

Since turning thirty, she’s started creating content focused on rural life, gardening, and enjoying the outdoors.

Although Lydia now focuses on luxury content, she remains proud of her beginnings and her fifteen-year career.
