Millie Mackintosh spent the day with her daughters, Sienna and Aurelia, at a children’s clothing event called Mini Me.

On Sunday in London, Made In Chelsea star, 36, was among the celebrities who brought their children to the Backstage Chelsea X Kidswear Collective Mini Me event.

To mark the opening of its temporary shop at Backstage Chelsea, Kidswear Collective hosted a morning of pampering for celebrity guests, including mini manicures and hair styling.

Millie looked stylish and put-together, wearing a grey cardigan, bootcut jeans, and shiny red loafers.

She shared photos with her three-year-old daughter, Aurelia, and posted a video on her Instagram Story of her four-year-old, Sienna, getting a temporary tattoo and face jewels at the event.

Ollie Locke, who used to be on Made In Chelsea with her, and his husband Gareth were also at the event. So were professional dancer Nadiya Bychkova from Strictly Come Dancing and her seven-year-old daughter, Mila.

Nadiya wore a leather biker jacket with a graphic t-shirt and light blue jeans to the event.

Love Island’s Chyna Mills, who is engaged to Strictly Come Dancing professional Neil Jones, attended the event with their 23-month-old daughter, Havana.

Chyna looked stylish in a loose-fitting, neutral-colored coat, paired with black jeans and eye-catching cow-pattern sneakers.

Jack Whitehall’s fiancee, Roxy Horner, attended with her sister, Riana, and their children.

Kidswear Collective offers gently used and out-of-season children’s clothes, promoting sustainable shopping and reducing fashion waste.

Millie recently spoke about her experiences, sharing that she suspects one of her daughters may also have ADHD, just a year after receiving her own diagnosis.

The reality star, married to Hugo Taylor and mother to four-year-old Sienna and three-year-old Aurelia, shared that dealing with one of her daughters’ frequent tantrums is a regular struggle. She didn’t specify which daughter was experiencing these meltdowns.

ADHD, or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, is a condition that affects behavior. It’s characterized by difficulty focusing, being overly active, and acting without thinking.

Millie recently posted some childhood photos on Instagram, reflecting on how much things have changed since her diagnosis. She explained that she’s gained a better understanding of herself after years of feeling like an outsider.

She wrote about receiving an ADHD diagnosis a year ago, explaining it’s been incredibly impactful. She said it finally explained many lifelong struggles, like feeling different, difficulties with school and socializing, and even why she turned to alcohol – helping her understand how ADHD had affected various aspects of her life.

People sometimes wonder why I sought this information as an adult, but understanding my brain has been incredibly freeing. It’s allowed me to be more compassionate with myself and let go of past mistakes.

Millie explained that she occasionally uses ADHD medication to help her concentrate when she has a lot of work to do. She feels lucky to have this option, as she knows it’s not available to everyone. She typically only takes it a couple of times a week, on particularly productive days, but sometimes finds she’s more tired or anxious the following day.

I’ve struggled with anxiety and depression for most of my life. While I was in school, I was diagnosed with dyspraxia and received extra time on tests, but my ADHD went unnoticed. At the time, ADHD was thought to primarily affect boys, which is likely why many women are only being diagnosed with it now, much later in life.

She continued, explaining that over the past year she’s discovered many people she knows are neurodivergent. This realization helped her understand why she immediately connects with some people, but not others.

Raising children while also managing my own ADHD is tough, and it’s even more complicated because I think my daughter might have it too. We often have big emotional outbursts, and it’s hard not to overreact when I’m already stressed. Having a daily routine really helps – things are generally calmer when school is in session, but weekends and holidays can be more difficult without that structure.

I’ve found that prioritizing good sleep, setting firm boundaries, staying sober, exercising regularly, and eating a diet free of processed foods and sugar have had the biggest positive impact on my well-being. Since January, I’ve been following a diet centered around whole foods and protein, with limited carbs – a keto-style approach – and it’s made a huge difference in how I feel.

I’m still discovering a lot, and it was actually Mel Robbins who first suggested I get tested.
