It's still only January (honestly, does this month ever end?) but Irish presenter Laura Whitmore is already having quite the year. The 34-year-old made her Love Island debut earlier this month when she took over as the new presenter of the winter series of the popular reality-TV show.
Replacing Caroline Flack, who stepped down from the position in December, Whitmore has received rave reviews on social media since the show kicked off in Cape Town. By the looks of things, fans seem taken by the Bray woman for both her broadcasting experience and her fashion sense.
Laura Whitmore's experience is coming out in this live show. No awkward questions, no awkward pauses, actually listens to what the have to panel say. She's great #LoveIsland #LoveIslandAftersun

On a recent episode of Love Island: Aftersun, a panel show featuring all the latest gossip from Love Island, the presenter looked pretty in pink wearing the 'good girl' suit by Irish designer Joanne Hynes.
The pale power suit features black and gold stripes along the sleeve and trousers and will be available online in mid-March. In the meantime, many of Joanne's designs are available in-store in Dunnes Stores.
Styled by Angie Smith and assisted by Emma Lane, Laura completed the look with a pair of 'Sammy' heels from Kurt Geiger (£79), a gold necklace with a letter L pendant from Thomas Sabo (€59) and an elephant necklace from Kate Spade.
Her make-up was applied by MUA Tori Ball who opted for the Velvet Myth lipstick from Lisa Elridge (£26), Soap Brows (€14.50) and, if we're not mistaken, a dash of Fenty highlighter (€35).
Sophie from The Mane Style set Whitmore's locks in soft waves and accessorised with a Corinne World 5 Knot Hair Slide (€24.90).
While many fans likened the look to Marge Simpson's second-hand suit...
@thewhitmore rocking the Marge look. Get the sewing kit out, we expect to see an alternate version for tonight's show #loveisland 😁 pic.twitter.com/jqzbAGW8jI

Whitmore was more than happy with the comparison, pointing out that the suit was, after all, Chanel.
Marge's was Chanel to be fair! So I’ll take that! 😍 https://t.co/YBDrMgT7tq
