Laura Whitmore, 40, stepped out for London Fashion Week on Friday night, attending the Ginny Litscher show at L oscar in central London. The former Love Island host wore a dramatic floor‑length kaftan‑style sequined gown whose plunging neckline and animal‑print accents flashed under photographers’ lights. The gown also featured a daring thigh‑high slit that showed off her legs as she smiled for cameras.
Whitmore was photographed with a group of attendees including Azzi Glasser, Jasmin Brunner, India Chaplin, Kiera Chaplin, Ginny Litscher, Jodie Kidd and Rose McGowan. Before the main event, she was seen at an accompanying exhibition, Tartan: The Barbour Way, where she opted for a more understated look — a black striped suit with an oversized blazer draped over her shoulders and a dark green fitted vest top with a plunging neckline.
At the Barbour event, Billie Piper and Sabrina Elba were also spotted in stylish but more relaxed ensembles. Piper wore a simple black crewneck sweatshirt paired with a long tartan skirt in blue, green and grey, while Elba paired a fitted crew-neck T-shirt with a classic beige trench coat and denim jeans as she arrived with other guests.
Whitmore is a mother of one, daughter Stevie Ré, born in 2021 with husband Iain Stirling. In a recent interview with The Standard, she spoke about concerns over the online world and its dangers, saying that becoming a parent changes priorities and can heighten sensitivity to issues affecting families.
Earlier this year a Daily Mail report noted that Whitmore infuriated BBC bosses by pulling out of Celebrity Apprentice at the last minute. The spin-off, which marks 20 years of The Apprentice, featured a lineup of celebrities attempting to impress Lord Sugar, but the dates did not work for Whitmore and she backed out, leaving the production team scrambling to adjust.
