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 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 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 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 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 in sizes 10 to 22 for £59 at Next now.
