Early Career

Millen was greatly inspired by her mother, and followed in her footsteps by training as a beauty therapist.
She also worked for a brief time in an independent fashion store.
Millen’s career as a blogger began as a way to cope during her final year of university in 2012. She blogged about one of her biggest passions – fashion.
Her blog began quite simply, with Millen modeling various items of clothing for the enjoyment of her readers.
She quickly branched out from blogging purely about fashion and began to include fitness and lifestyle posts.
Lydia would often, for instance, blog about yoga trips, or her favorite foods and their recipes.
Millen’s YouTube channel actually began a little earlier than her blog – she uploaded her first video in 2011.
Her videos consist of a mixture of unboxings, lifestyle and fashion tips and reviews, and ‘slice of life’ content in which she gives her subscribers some insight into how she lives from day to day.
Lydia’s YouTube account has become hugely successful. Her videos are, unusually for the format, extremely long – between 40 minutes and an hour for each one.
Millen has, additionally, found great success with YouTube’s “shorts” category, in which users can upload Tiktok-esque short-form videos.
In these, Millen tends to do unboxings in brief, which gives her viewers an idea of the fashion articles she is sent in exchange for exposure on her channel.

Millen reacted to people’s outrage at the flaunting of her wealth in a manner many found condescending, provoking further outrage from the British public online.
Some suggested that Millen was out of touch and unable to understand the plight of people from ordinary backgrounds.
