Laura Whitmore looks 'hot in pink' as she confuses fans with Halloween photos

Presenter Laura Whitmore wowed in a hot pink outfit as she celebrated Halloween on Saturday night (October 29) - but she left fans asking the same question.

The 37-year-old stepped out as Barbie, wearing a hot pink top and flares, silver boots and a white cowboy hat. Her friend Alec Ward dressed up as Ken, in a black denim cowboy suit, complete with brown boots and a white hat.

In one photo, the pair are seen holding hands as they walk through the street. Inspired by Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling from the up-coming Barbie film, Laura captioned her Instagram post: "Ryan and Margot made us do it #barbiecore".

Friends and fans were quick to compliment the actress' outfit, with @gjeida commenting: "Hot in pink," alongside a red heart and a fire emoji. @gavinjoy30 added: "Cuuuute" as @ste.poole1 said: "You both look amazing".

But some people were left confused by the post and wondered why Laura's husband, comedian Iain Stirling, wasn't the Ken to her Barbie. @kazza_rochell commented: "That isnt Iain is it???" as @a_p_b_84 asked: "Where’s lain Stirling," with a concerned-face emoji.

@f3n7y echoed: "Who is that guy! Where's Ian!? as @hygge_aromatherapy commented: "Where s Iain?" But it didn't take long for Laura herself to clear up the confusion.

Responding to @f3n7y, Laura explained: "the joys of parenthood one goes out at a time," with two laughing-face emojis.

Instagram user @ruledby4nutjobs commented: "Amazing outfits! And great to see a man & woman can be friends … wow .. who’d of known!" as @envywolfe said: "Its so funny when you can’t go out with people asking where your partner is. Like they forgot you have kids. And are allowed out."

Laura and Love Island narrator Iain welcomed their first daughter, Stevie Ré, together in March 2021. The couple tied the knot quietly in a humanist ceremony at Dublin's City hall in November the previous year, after getting engaged in South Africa, where the ITV reality show was being filmed at the time.

The pair started dating in July 2017, after meeting at an ITV bash in 2016.
