Millie Mackintosh proved she has petal power when she posed for a pretty photoshoot in support of the Royal British Legion. 

Modelling a dress made from 100 red poppies to support this year's Remembrance Day appeal, the 26-year-old did her bit to urge the public to wear a flower for #mypoppycampaign.

The stunning poppy dress was custom-made by fashion designer Giles Deacon, whose original sketch took 72 hours to turn into a lurex wool black dress.

She was also showered with many of the faux flowers as part of the shoot. 

Millie, who is married to rapper Professor Green, teamed her special look with a pair of black court shoes, which had an ankle strap. 

She wore her hair in an intricate up-do, which had a plait running across the front - and she wore a slick of ruby red lipstick which matched the poppies perfectly.

Millie said: 'My great -grandfather, Lieutenant Douglas Mackintosh, lost his leg while serving our country in the First World War.

'Every year, I wear my poppy to remember him and the sacrifices he and everyone in the Armed Forces have made.'

As well as supporting the appeal, Millie is also busy promoting her eponymous fashion line. 

Meanwhile, her husband recently defended their marriage following rumours that they were struggling.

He told MailOnline: 'We haven’t had marriage counselling, all I said is that I see a therapist and Millie now sees one too. We have sat down with her together so she can explain things.

'We are going to have to wait and see if our marriage needs saving. 

'Some people want there to be trouble because it makes it more entertaining, but sorry guys! We are happy and you are going to have to continue seeing pictures of Millie in the bath!'
