Standing out amongst the A-listers: TV presenter Laura Whitmore outshines Hollywood stars at Asprey pre-BAFTA party


With less than 24 hours to go before the biggest night in the British film calendar, a host of Hollywood A-listers have converged on London town.
However, despite the top stylists and designer couture on hand to the likes of Marion Cotillard, Sally Field and Alice Eve, it was TV presenter Laura Whitmore stealing the show at a pre-BAFTA party on Saturday.
The Irish TV presenter, 27, looked stunning in an unusual black and white fringed Fyodor Golan dress, which she teamed with a pair of Jimmy Choo sandals and Fei Liu jewellery.
