Laura Whitmore showed off her chic sense of style at the launch of her two-piece autumn/winter 2023 clothing collection in collaboration with Next fashion brand Love & Roses in London on Monday.

The TV presenter, 38, wore a three-piece black velvet suit from her range that evening.

She wore the black velvet button-up cardigan and matching flared trousers.

Former Love Island presenter Laura wore the jacket to complete her suit over her shoulder, while she wore a sleek black tie.

The star completed her look by wearing a white shirt and adding to her height with a pair of open-toed platform heels.

Laura’s party collection includes pieces designed for “dress up dinners or date night dates,” with 63 pieces newly available.

It comes after Laura went topless while enjoying a couples massage with husband Iain Stirling during a trip to the Maldives last month.

The broadcaster took to her Instagram to share a glimpse of herself in a leopard print bikini bottom during the lavish pampering session.

Laura later revealed that she and Iain made the most of the trip and enjoyed a belated honeymoon after tying the knot in 2020.

The couple’s massage tables were set up overlooking the ocean and they even had a glass panel in the floor for a close-up view of the fish.

Laura and Iain, 35, celebrated their long-awaited honeymoon with chic champagne before enjoying a romantic boat trip.

She captioned one photo: “It took us three years but we found time to honeymoon.”

The Irish presenter took to Instagram to share a slew of snaps from her idyllic getaway as she posed in a skimpy blue bikini that showed off her stunning figure.

Laura shared photos from her day of snorkeling and a sweet image while she was having dinner with her husband.

She captioned the images: “Into the blue… BRB just having a wonderful time in paradise, thank you @coco_resorts #cocomoments #prtrip.”

While Laura looked like she could have been a Love Island contestant with her incredible bikini pictures, she revealed she had more than quit the show since Maya Jama took over hosting duties.

She opted not to watch the series finale – which was won by Jess Harding and Sammy Root – instead hosting Disaronno’s cocktail event at Art’otel Battersea Power Station.

Laura has since started filming investigative documentaries and previously expressed her relief at being a producer on her ITVX series Laura Whitmore Investigates, having previously only been ‘the face’ of television projects.

The DJ admitted she sees the move as her way of “reclaiming my power” after being “frustrated” by having “no control” over the shows she worked on.

In the interview, Laura also revealed that she is pursuing therapy after it was offered to her for the first time, admitting: ‘I never really feel like I fit in!’

The television personality also confessed that she may never have asked for mental health care because she “didn’t want to be seen as weak.”

Speak with The Telegraph, Laura said, “Sometimes – often – your job is to show up and look a certain way. I’ve worked on shows where I had no control over my script, the production or anything like that.

‘When I first started on Radio 5 Live, I got comments on Twitter: “Why do you have that bimbo in that slot?” (…) I never really feel like I belong anywhere, but who does?’

She continued, “Once I can add something to the story and get something out of it, I’ll do a damn good job of it, and I hope I’ll do it as well as I can.

‘I have a beautiful life, but I will also call the s**t out because I hope I can keep doing this for years to come and it will get better and I will gain more strength. I certainly have more power now than I did ten years ago in this industry.”

Laura also revealed that she met a therapist early in the documentary-making process after being offered it, for the first time in her career.

She confessed, “I’ve never had that before and I wish I had done it sooner… for any show.”

The former model also reflected on whether she should have “asked for help” instead of waiting for it to be offered, adding “because people don’t offer things.”

But she admitted: “Maybe I didn’t want to be seen as weak, so I didn’t,” adding: “The more I work in television, the more I’ll say, ‘I find myself in this really difficult ”.’
