Shona McGarty’s ‘stunning’ new photo shows a different side of her than her soap opera character

Following the release of a “stunning” photo of the EastEnders star in full makeup, Shona McGarty received an outpouring of praise.

The 31-year-old actress became a household name with her breakout role as Whitney Dean on the long-running BBC one soap opera.

Since then, she’s gained a devoted fan base that eagerly awaits news about their favorite star of Albert Square.

And this week, she released a series of breathtaking glam shots that had her admirers swooning.

The serial star posted a series of photos to Instagram in which she exuded sexy self-assurance.

Shona looked nothing like the beloved Whitney Dean when the cosmetic artist finished with her face.

The singer went for dramatic brows and eyes, with lots of eyeliner, mascara, and blush.

Shona applied a generous amount of red lipstick to her full lips as a final touch to her glamorous look.

Shona’s characteristic jet-black hair was pulled back into a sleek and chic ponytail.

She included multiple sun emojis as a caption to the series of steamy photos, and the praise poured in quickly.

One admirer exclaimed, “You’re stunning!” while another concurred, writing, “Beautiful as always.”

Another fan commented, “Loving the red lipstick,” and a third wrote, “Beautiful eyes.”

Over the course of Whitney’s 15-year run, Shona became a household name in the United Kingdom thanks to her portrayal of the character.

The sexual assault she suffered as a youngster, the broken relationships she’s had, and her efforts to bring serial killer Gray Atkins to justice are just a few of her struggles.

 

After wowing fans with news of her second profession outside of the BBC series, Shona now treats them to a glamorous snapshot.

The soap star announced in March on Instagram that she sings gospel with a group called UpMass.

The 31-year-old posted a photo of herself and her fellow choir singers, writing that “exciting times ahead” for the ensemble.

The next thing I knew, a video of Shona singing with the choir in front of a sold-out crowd had started playing.
