EXCLUSIVE Laura Whitmore puts on a stylish display in a pinstripe suit as she attends VIP launch of Alice + Olivia King's Road boutique
The former Love Island presenter, 40, looked every inch the fashionista in the outfit, which featured a blue waistcoat.
This was paired with £445 Alice + Olivia pinstripe flared trousers in a blue and red design and a matching pinstripe top.
Laura completed the look with a matching red lip and subtle black eye-makeup, wearing her hair down to match its casually stylish vibe.
She was equally bold with her choice of handbag, opting for a large clutch in a red bow design by the fashion house.
Needless to say, Laura was not the only big name in attendance at the event.
She was joined by opera singer Natalie Rushdie, 38, who wore a long, yellow silk skirt and matching top with a bold, floral jacket on top.
The designer and CEO of Alice + Olivia, Stacy Bendet, 46, was also present in a pinstripe dress that matched the design worn by the former Love Island presenter.
She told MailOnline the concept of her new store was 'flowers and fantasy' and said she had decked the walls and floor in clashing stripes to give it a preppy vibe.
Stacy opted for a regal hairstyle, wearing her hair up and accessorising with a striking pearled crown.
Actress and model Clara Paget, 36, meanwhile, opted for an equally striking look in a silky green suit.
Laura's appearance at the event comes after she stepped down from presenting Love Island in 2022 to pursue her acting dreams.
This recently saw her star in the London play, Apex Predator, a story about postpartum depression, which ran from March until April.

MAFS UK star left devastated after being 'dumped via text' following whirlwind romance
A MAFS UK star has been left devastated after being 'dumped via text' following a whirlwind romance. Personal trainer and mother-of-two Marilyse Corrigan was unlucky in love on the series in 2021 after marrying fellow fitness fanatic Franky Spencer. However she revealed in September last year that she was in a relationship with a new man. Unfortunately, things didn't work out for Marilyse with a source telling The Sun: 'Marilyse is really upset and can't believe she's ended up single again. 'She was dumped over text after falling head over heels. It was a whirlwind romance and in hindsight she feels she was love bombed.' Marilyse wed military man Franky on the series but they split just before the final episode aired. She later moved on with Matt Murray who also appeared on the Channel 4 show in 2022, but they split in March 2023. Marilyse later fuelled rumours that she had secretly rekindled her romance with Frankie in December 2023 when she shared a cosy photo with her former 'husband.' Fans flooded the comments section with their well wishes, with one adding: 'Awww hope it's not out of place but I always think you two should give it another go… you seem so good together, it's all in the vibes xx' The former couple split after their relationship 'went a bit dry' after 'spending too much time together'. During the show Marilyse had decided to stay with her Dubai -based husband, who had been dubbed 'controlling' by fans, after the programme ended in the couple's vow renewal. But speaking to The Sun after the show, the contestant revealed her relationship with Franky ended when it turned into more of a friendship. 'It's really sad as we got on really well and Franky has a heart of gold,' said Marilyse, explaining that it was a mutual decision to end their relationship. Adding that the experience was 'full-on', she admitted: 'I saw a lot of Franky and that probably spoiled it because we spent too much time together. She continued: 'Eventually things just went a bit dry and we ended up being more like friends than people in a relationship.' Following the show, Franky moved to Beverly, while he looked for a job in Leeds, amid planning his return to the UK from Dubai. Marilyse later sparked romance rumours with Matt in October 2022 when they jetted off to Turkey together. However, they both announced on social media in March they have decided to break up due to being 'too different' to one another. Marilyse told her Instagram followers: 'I've received multiple messages asking if Matt and I are still together. 'Out of respect to you guys and the support you've given us, of course it's only fair to be clear. So the answer to this is no we are no longer together anymore but I do wish Matt all the best for his future.'

Robbie Williams, 51, reprises iconic dungarees from his Take That heyday at new album Q&A as he admits he's battling with his hair which is 'thinning everyday'
Robbie Williams gave fans a cheeky throwback to his Take That days as he attended a Q&A for his new album Britpop on Tuesday. The hitmaker, 51, arrived a pair of denim dungarees akin to the ones he wore while performing in the beloved boyband back in the 1990s. Robbie, who is set to release his new album on October 10th, also reflected on how his appearance has changed over the years, during an interview with Joe Lycett at London's Groucho Club. The Angels legend confessed his hair is now 'thinning everyday' and he's struggling to keep his locks looking full for his fans. Asked how he's maintained his ageless appearance, Robbie said: 'Because I've got like ADHD and I don't look, and my self care is appalling and then I have to remember to apply moisturiser, which I do have. 'Then it's just a fools error because then I don't do it again for another two months. Robbie Williams gave fans a cheeky throwback to his Take That days as he attended a Q&A for his new album Britpop on Tuesday The hitmaker arrived a pair of denim dungarees (left) akin to the ones he wore while performing in the beloved boyband back in the 1990s (pictured right in 1992) 'The hair is powder and scaffolding because it's thinning and it's going and I think about it everyday. 'The skin at the moment is due to my makeup artist, who I think has done a really good job.' Robbie famously wore his denim overalls, and little else, while taking to the stage with Take That to perform at the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party back in 1992. Reflecting on the look in an interview with British Vogue, he previously said: 'Dungarees were part of my look back in the day, cost effective, slightly unusual because not many people were wearing them. 'I'd be naked underneath with my top, but it could cover up my belly, so it gave the illusion that I was a buff ting!' Robbie's new album also sees him reunite with his Take That bandmate Gary Barlow, with the pair working on a song together for the first time since he briefly reunited with the band for an album and tour in 2010 and 2011. He said: 'I've collaborated with Gary on a lot of tracks actually. It's great because that particular track is a song made by Robbie Williams and Gary Barlow about Morrisey. Describing the song as 'considerate', he added: 'The reason I'm considerate about it is because I'm writing it from the point of view of a stalker, so it's somebody who's stalking, and is completely obsessed and in love with him.' Robbie, who is set to release his new album on October 10th, also reflected on how his appearance has changed over the years, during an interview with Joe Lycett The Angels legend confessed his hair is now 'thinning everyday' and he's struggling to keep his locks looking full for his fans Robbie and his wife Ayda, 46, share four children, Teddy, 11, son Charlie, nine, daughter Coco, five and three-year-old son Beau. Robbie previously said that his kids are a massive factor in deciding where to live because they need to be placed in suitable schools. It was reported earlier this month that he and his wife Ayda have splashed out £30 million on a lavish new waterfront mansion in Miami. He explained: 'The four kids are constantly a Rubix Cube puzzle that we're trying to sort out because if they are schooled then they don't see me because I'm all over the place and if they are home-schooled then they have another set of things that are a problem.' Speaking in 2014, Robbie - then a father of two - admitted he was keen to make the United Kingdom his permanent base after spending an extended period of time in the United States. He told The Sun: 'I love LA. The people and the weather are great but it's not England. It can't offer the same. Things change when you're a dad - there are people to look after who are more important than yourself. 'I want [daughter] Teddy and the new baby, whatever it may be, to be educated in England. Teddy is already surrounded by English people so she's bound to have an accent anyway. 'But that's not the point - we want to educate her in London. We've just bought a ruddy big house so we had better be coming back!'

Late Queen Elizabeth ‘refused to open airport terminal' after relative stopped from boarding plane with guns
The late Queen Elizabeth refused to open an airport terminal after a relative on his way to see her at Balmoral was stopped from boarding a plane with his guns, it has been claimed. Lord Ivar Mountbatten, a first cousin once removed of Prince Philip, the late Duke of Edinburgh, revealed he was prevented from taking his shotguns on a flight from Bristol to Aberdeen. He told Gyles Brandreth's Rosebud podcast how a 'sweet check-in lady' told him the hold was accessible from the cabin so they would not be secure, despite him telling a manager: 'The Queen's sending me a car and she's expecting me for tea.' In the end, his guns were left in the police armory at the airport and Lord Ivar took the flight to Scotland to join the Queen for the shooting weekend in the Highlands. Later that day at Balmoral, when he recounted the tale to the Queen, it led to her 'getting rather irritated' and dispatching her equerry to arrange transportation of the guns, Lord Ivar said. The aristocrat, who is also Elizabeth II's distant cousin, told Brandreth: 'She said…'I would like Lord Ivar's guns to be up here tomorrow morning. Please see to it'. 'Whereupon she turns back to me and she looks at me over her glasses with a glint in her eye and she says, 'They want me to open their new terminal'. She says, 'I don't think I will now'.' Lord Ivar added: 'So every time I go back to Bristol Airport now, it was opened by the Princess Royal, I have a quiet laugh to myself.' Anne first opened a terminal building at Bristol Airport in 2000, and later opened a terminal extension in 2015. Lord Ivar, whose great-uncle was Earl Mountbatten, this year appeared in the third season of the reality show The Traitors US.
