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

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

The exclusive event, hosted by fine jewelery brand Boodles, is a fixture on London’s social scene and once again opened its doors for a chic soiree with the aim of raising £1,000,000 for the charity Hope and Homes for Children that evening.

Arriving at the bash, held at Old Billingsgate in London, Millie, 32, looked stunning in a stylish floor-length dress and cape by Needles and Thread, embellished with delicate beads and embroidered flowers.

Entitled ‘Fairytale’, the gown features a corset bodice with layers of tulle creating an elegant skirt.

Alongside her husband, former Made in Chelsea star Hugo Taylor, 36, Millie posed like a princess as she soaked up the atmosphere at the exclusive event.

Also in attendance was reality star Binky Felstead, 31, who upped the glamor in a dreamy black sequin dress with a plunging neckline and thigh-high slit.

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 yet classy 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 pants as she attended the social event of the season.

Complementing her look with a pair of earrings and a small but demure necklace, Rachel kept her makeup palette neutral while focusing on a striking eye look that showcased her natural beauty.

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

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

Sophie completed her look with a pair of stylish drop earrings and also opted to wear her blonde tresses in cascading waves, pushed over one shoulder while mingling with the attendees.

It wasn’t just a crowd of glamorous ladies enjoying the event, however, as soccer legend Gary Lineker, 61, also appeared at the annual event in a sleek tuxedo and smart glasses as he posed for photographers at the event.

This year’s ball marks the much-anticipated return of such an important social event after being canceled in 2021 due to the pandemic.

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

Entertainment for the night featured music by Britain’s Got Talent star Calum Scott, while guests also watched five ringside amateur boxing matches, all with the aim of raising vital funds to support children in desperate need.

Speaking of the event, Boodles director James Amos said: “The last two years have been challenging for the events world and for charities in particular. Although we had planned to deliver the Boodles Boxing Ball in 2021, we are delighted to have received clearance for June 10, 2022,” reports the Daily Mail.

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

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

“It goes without saying that I greatly admire the work of Hope and Homes for Children.”
