Pregnant Laura Whitmore turns heads on the red carpet, showcasing her bare baby bump in a striking black crop top and skirt at the Devil Wears Prada 2 premiere in London on Wednesday.
Stunning Red Carpet Look
The 40-year-old Irish presenter, expecting her second child with husband Iain Stirling, 38, radiated confidence. The couple shares four-year-old daughter Stevie Ré. Laura paired a long-sleeved, skintight crop top that rested just above her bump with a dramatic matching skirt featuring a bold side split for a leggy display. Towering platform heels elevated her frame, while a sleek updo and red lipstick added a vibrant touch to her blonde tresses.
Stars like Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Meryl Streep, and Stanley Tucci also drew crowds with their glamorous poses on the red carpet.
Family Adventures in Paris
Earlier this month, Laura and Iain shared glimpses of their Disneyland Paris trip with Stevie via Instagram Stories. Laura hid her bump under a colorful Disney hoodie and Minnie Mouse ears, layering a bright yellow coat over her shoulders and accessorizing with oversized black sunglasses during a break from the rides.
In another fun clip, she posed in front of the illuminated Sleeping Beauty Castle. An endearing photo captured Stevie meeting Disney princesses. Laura captioned the post: ‘Throwback to a magical few days. The camera roll worked hard!’
Pregnancy Announcement and Parenthood Insights
Several months ago, Laura announced her pregnancy with Instagram photos of her bump, receiving congratulations from friends and family. She and Iain welcomed Stevie Ré in 2021.
Speaking to The Standard shortly after, Laura shared her concerns about online safety: ‘Having a child definitely changes your priorities and makes you more sensitive to certain subjects. This was something I also had to take self-care about as well. Also, when it comes to the online world and it’s changing so dramatically it does make me conscious that in a few years to come I’m going to have to deal with that and it’s something I can’t control. So it does make me hyper-sensitive.’
Career Milestones and Recent Moves
Last year, Laura’s last-minute withdrawal from Celebrity Apprentice due to a scheduling conflict frustrated BBC producers, leaving the casting team scrambling just days before filming. The special, celebrating 20 years of The Apprentice, featured stars like AJ Odudu, Jake Wood, and JB Gill competing for charity. A TV insider noted: ‘Of course, there can be a lot of last minute changes in television, but it was just days before filming started and the team were very much left in the lurch. The dates did not work for Laura and so she backed out, but many were left in an awkward position by her decision.’
In 2022, Laura stepped down from Love Island after three years, citing challenges like frequent flights to South Africa for the winter series. She explained: ‘flying back and forth to South Africa’ was particularly taxing. Maya Jama now hosts the show to fan acclaim.
Laura’s TV journey began with a win on MTV’s Pick Me contest, making her the face of MTV news across the UK, Ireland, and Europe. Recently, she starred in the West End hit 2:22: A Ghost Story alongside Matt Willis, Tamsin Carroll, and Felix Scott.
Laura and Iain married in 2020, with the bride opting for a chic wide-leg white suit.
