TV star Millie Mackintosh has put her own spin on some of the most famous and stylish female actresses of all time in a new campaign that sees the mum of two recreate iconic morning scenes from Hollywood as voted for by the public. Top results as voted for include Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Clueless, Singin’ in the Rain and Bridget Jones’s Diary.
The former Made in Chelsea alumni puts a fresh spin on a series of memorable Hollywood moments to celebrate the launch of Kellogg's Special K Start Good. Stay Good campaign which aims to highlight the secret to a day of good decisions stems from getting a good start.
The shoot saw the styling team recreate bespoke outfits harking back to the 1950’s – all the way up to the 1990’s. Kellogg’s Special K Original and Red Berries both now have a new recipe.
Inspired by the nation’s favourite morning scene from Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Millie embraced the film’s timeless 1960’s look. The outfit featured an iconic black dress coupled with a crystal tiara, along with a beehive hairdo and cat eye makeup, which took over two hours to complete.
Everyone’s second favourite scene featured unlucky in love journalist Bridget eating breakfast wrapped in her duvet. The iconic scene of the lead character attempting to iron her hair took over an hour to style in hair and makeup. Inspired by the classic 1952 “Good Morning, Good Morning” dance scene from one of the nation’s favourite films, Singin’ in the Rain (which is celebrating its 70 th anniversary), Millie dons her very own version of the blue drop-waisted dress.
The styling team then fast forward to the 1990’s to transform Millie into one of her favourite film characters, enabling her to re-live her biggest childhood dream of wearing her take on that infamous yellow plaid suit. Millie Mackintosh said:“It was such fun putting my very own twist on these amazing Hollywood morning scenes, each character is so iconic. I always wanted to hang out with Cher Horowitz in Clueless and be her friend, and I’ve always been obsessed with Breakfast at Tiffany’s. I love simple and elegant fashion and an LBD is so stylish and really chic, even now.”
Natalie Duffy, Senior Brand Manager for Special K said: “Having a consistent morning routine is a good way to start your day to help make a day of good decisions and having a nutritious breakfast can certainly help get you on the right track.”
The campaign follows new research by Kellogg’s Special K, which polled the nation to reveal the top ten list of most iconic morning scenes in film.
