Reality television favourite Zara McDermott cut a effortlessly chic figure as she arrived at a special photocall in London this week. The event was held to promote her powerful and hard-hitting new BBC documentary, 'Thailand: Dark Paradise'.
Demonstrating her signature style, the 26-year-old media personality opted for a sophisticated cream knitted peplum cardigan, perfectly paired with a set of elegant wide-leg Capri pants. Her stylish ensemble highlighted a keen fashion sense while remaining appropriate for the serious subject matter of her latest project.
The former 'Made in Chelsea' star completed her look with a pair of classic white platform trainers, adding a modern and comfortable touch. Her beauty regime was similarly on point, featuring a flawless makeup palette and her long brunette locks styled in a sleek, straight fashion.
A Documentary with a Purpose
McDermott's new film, 'Thailand: Dark Paradise', sees the presenter travel to Southeast Asia to investigate the dark underbelly of the country's sex tourism industry. The documentary aims to shed light on the exploitation and dangers faced by both tourists and locals, moving far beyond her previous reality TV persona.
This project marks another serious turn in her broadcasting career, following her previous well-received documentaries for BBC Three, which tackled equally challenging topics like revenge porn and eating disorders.
Stepping into Serious Journalism
The London photocall signifies a significant career pivot for McDermott, who is steadily establishing herself as a credible documentary maker and presenter. Her ability to handle sensitive subjects with empathy and depth has garnered praise from critics and audiences alike.
With 'Thailand: Dark Paradise', Zara continues to use her platform to explore critical social issues, proving there is substantial depth behind the glamour of her television origins.
