Millie Mackintosh and Binky Felstead dazzle in gowns as they reunite for star-studded ball

Millie Mackintosh and Binky Felstead were just two of the stars dressed to impress as the attended the Boodles Boxing Ball on Friday night.

A staple of the London social scene, the exclusive event hosted by fine jewellery brand Boodles, once again opened its doors to a swanky soiree with the aim of raising £1,000,000 on the night for charity Hope and Homes for Children.

Arriving at the bash, which was held at Old Billingsgate in London, Millie, 32 looked stunning as she wore a stylish floor length gown and cape made by Needles and Thread, which was embellished with delicate beads and embroidered flowers.

The gown, which is entitled ‘fairytale’ features a corset bodice, with layers of tulle making up the elegant skirt.


Posing alongside her husband, former Made in Chelsea star Hugo Taylor, 36, Millie looked every bit the princess as she soaked up the atmosphere of the exclusive event.

Also in attendance was reality star Binky Felstead, 31 who amped up the glamour in a dreamy black sequinned gown with a deep plunging neckline and thigh high split.

To complete her outfit, the star also opted for an oversized black blazer, with contrasting white buttons, alongside black heels and a pair of chic earrings.

For the occasion Binky let her hair flow loosely in soft waves, while her makeup was kept subtle to offer a relaxed but classic look.


Another familiar face hoping to raise money for charity was former S club 7 singer Rachel Stevens, 44, who opted for an ivory satin wrap jacket and flared black trousers as she attended the social event of the season.

Accessorising her look with a pair of drop earrings and a small but demure necklace, Rachel kept her makeup palette neutral as she focused on a statement eye look that showcased her natural beauty.

TV personality Sophie Hermann, 35, also opted for a black colour palette as she wowed attendees with a stunning black dress at this year’s Boodles ball.

The dress itself featured a short, lining to preserve her modesty, while a sheer overlay of floral embellished lace showed off the star’s toned arms and perfect pins as she posed for the cameras.

Completing her look with a pair of stylish drop earrings, Sophie also opted to wear her blonde locks in cascading waves pushed over one shoulder as she mingled with attendees.

It wasn’t just a slew of glamorous ladies enjoying the event either however, as footballing legend Gary Lineker, 61 also made an appearance at the annual event in a dapper tuxedo and smart glasses as he posed for photographers at the event.

This year’s ball marks the highly anticipated return of such a key social event, after the pandemic meant it was unable to run in 2021.

Guests at this year’s event were treated to a lavish champagne and cocktail reception followed by a sit down dinner curated by Michelin star chef Tom Kerridge.


Entertainment for the night came in the form of music from Britain’s Got Talent star Calum Scott, while guests were also treated to a ringside view of five amateur boxing matches, all the with the aim of raising vital funds to support children in desperate needs of homes.

Speaking about the event, Boodles Director James Amos said: “The last two years have been challenging for the events world, and for charities especially. Whilst our plan had been to deliver the Boodles Boxing Ball in 2021, we are thrilled to have had clearance for June 10th, 2022,” reports the Daily Mail.

He then continued: “Boodles is involved with many fundraising events, but this is the biggest of them all and the impact is significant.

“I have visited Eastern Europe and Africa on several occasions and met countless children who have benefitted from the generous support of our guests.

“It goes without saying that I have huge admiration for the work of Hope and Homes for Children.”
