Caggie & Millie - MIC

Made in Chelsea... so I admit I might be a bit behind everyone else but I've only recently caught on to MIC. I will admit that I had dismissed it as your usual run of the mill reality show until I discovered that it's actually quite addictive!

It's all about the lives of the rich and famous, particularly young socialites living it up in London. Champagne is the drink of choice. The relationships border on incestuous, which some of the cast members have commented on, but it does make for great viewing.

This said, it is the fashion that really gets me. Everyone dresses pretty fabulously, the boys are privy to wearing cravats and suit jackets as part of their everyday attire. However paired with jeans it actually works. Probably because they have the confidence to carry it off!

The style of the characters in general is pretty impressive. That said there are a couple of characters that really stand out. Caggie Dunlop is classed as a cool girl, by both guys and girls alike. Her look is quite relaxed on a daily basis but she can glam it up if needs be. A denim shirt teamed with a messy bun looks great on her but so does a short dress. She's a fan of maxi skirts, denim and chunky jumpers. Even without making a huge effort, her Ray-Ban aviators and winning smile are enough to get her noticed. She is a solo singer who has also launched her own fashion label ISWAI- It Starts With An Idea.


Millie Mackintosh is another lady who dresses to impress. From denim cut offs to a leather look dress this girl does classy chic very well. Bodycon dresses, shorts and blazer jackets are key pieces in her wardrobe  She could be described as slightly more high maintenance than Caggie but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. A make up artist who decided fashion was more her thing is now working in Glamour magazine as an intern. My dream job, right there! Accessories are important for Millie's look, from her Chanel 2.55 to a floppy fedora, she rarely puts a fashion foot wrong.


Caggie and Millie are the best of friends. Back in Series One there was a foursome going on when the girls were spending time with Chelsea playboys Spencer Matthews and Hugo Taylor respectively. Their friendship has survived long distance separations and friction with other cast members. They may acknowledge the other girls, air kissing and so on but it is clear that their bond is a special one.
