Louise Thompson joins her mother Karen as Zara McDermott launches her new ... trends now
Louise Thompson and her mother Karen stepped out to support the launch of Zara McDermott's new clothing brand after she revealed her stoma bag.
The former Made In Chelsea, star, 34, opened up earlier this month about having a stoma bag fitted after years of suffering from ulcerative colitis following a diagnosis in 2018.
After being candid with her followers, Louise stepped out on Wednesday to support Zara, who is dating her brother Sam, at the launch of her Everyday Essentials clothing brand venture RISE, in London.
Louise looked chic for the launch, sporting an oversized longline satin white shirt, which she layered with a grey sleeveless cardigan.
She finished off the look with black jeans and chunky brown studded boots, accessorising with a small handbag.

Meanwhile Karen looked elegant in white wide-leg trousers and a pink tweed blazer, as she posed alongside her daughter and Zara.
Zara kept in keeping with her loungewear vibe for the launch as she donned a black skin-tight all-in-one with a grey blazer and bright red trainers.
Louise shared the news of having a stoma bag fitted with her Instagram followers in early April, as she bravely admitted it is 'not something she wanted to hide forever'.
Louise has previously spoken about her ongoing struggles with the bowel condition ulcerative colitis as well as the autoimmune disease lupus.
Ulcerative colitis is a chronic bowel condition where the colon and rectum become inflamed and small ulcers develop on the colon's lining, which can bleed. The condition has no cure, but can be effectively managed with time.
Earlier this year she spent two weeks in hospital after suffering a ulcerative colitis flare up during a holiday with her fiance Ryan Libbey and their little boy Leo, two.
The fitness influencer almost died during the birth of her son Leo in 2021 and was left with post traumatic stress disorder.
Louise shared a video of herself showing the bag, which is attached to her stomach, and wrote: HOW DO I DISCLOSE THIS SORT OF NEWS?
