We might be getting a little bit ahead of ourselves with all our sandal shopping, after all, the weather is still breezy, and luckily, Claudia Winkleman's layered look feels like the ideal combination to tackle spring chills.

Appearing on The One Show last Friday, Claudia showcased her signature heritage-inspired style wearing a white shirt with a sharp, triangular collar and statement cuffs, layered under a simple, grey roundneck jumper. A pair of black, tailored trousers brought in a nod to spring thanks to their ankle-grazing hem, while some timeless brown loafers finished the look off beautifully.

This classic outfit formula is easy to add to a spring capsule wardrobe and one you can wear on repeat in cooler climes. Adding contemporary accessories, nodding to seasonal trends, or the latest colourways via your knitwear will help to refresh this combination year after year.

Get Claudia's Style

You might think that Claudia Winkleman's muted colour palette here is a far cry from the spring/summer fashion colour trends for 2026, but they’re actually bang on trend for this season.

Muted colours continue to be popular, and while 'Cloud White' was announced as Pantone's Colour of the Year for 2026, ‘Summer grey’ was all over the spring/summer catwalks at the likes of Louis Vuitton, Bottega Veneta and Coach.

Claudia's timeless outfit formula in a host of neutral colours is not only contemporary, but it ticks the classic box too, leaning into timeless silhouettes that can be worn again and again, without feeling outdated, and that is the type of outfit worth investing in.

We've missed Claudia Winkleman since the end of The Traitors, so we're loving having her back on our screens!

The second episode of The Claudia Winkleman Show airs on BBC One this evening, and her stylist Sinead McKeefry gave us a sneak peek of what we can expect style-wise when she shared a post on Instagram earlier today.

Claudia wore three British clothing brands, teaming a brown velvet trouser suit from ME+EM with a blue blouse by Bella Freud and a pair of tan leather brogues from the Miu Miu x Church's collaboration. It's exactly what we loved about Claudia's Traitors outfits, with a glamorous Friday night edge to it.

What really stood out to me about this look was the unexpected colour combination - doesn't the sky blue hue complement the chestnut brown perfectly? If you have both of these colours in your wardrobe, get experimenting, but if not, I've tracked down some exact matches and lookalikes to help you copy Claudia.

Claudia also posted on Instagram ahead of the show, calling her guests Niall Horan, Rachel Zegler, Guz Khan and Joanne McNally "utterly brilliant".

Claudia so often sticks to black and white outfits that it's really refreshing to see her embracing a bit of colour. Her velvet two-piece is so sophisticated when worn as a co-ord, but you can, of course, style the jacket with blue jeans and loafers if you're looking for smart casual outfit ideas.

Davina McCall has been a beloved fixture on our screens for decades, but that doesn’t stop her from embarrassing moments of mistaken identity. Fortunately for Davina, the person she’s often mixed up with is another TV icon - Claudia Winkleman.

Sharing a recent encounter, which she joked brought her back to reality after feeling 'cocky', Davina jokingly explained, "I was outside a hotel the other night having a lovely chat with the doorman, and two girls walked past and they went, 'Oh my gosh, it’s you!'

"I got a bit kind of cocky and I was like, 'Oh, hi girls!' - and one of them asked for a photo and then said, 'My mum loves The Traitors'".

With Claudia’s signature Traitors style - including tweed kilts and knee high boots - we’re not sure how that mistake was made, but Davina insists it’s a regular occurrence, for both of them.

She said, "It happens to Claudia all the time as well, which is hilarious".

Inspiring a funny thought, Davina added, "I tell you what I should do [on Comic Relief], I should come dressed as Claudia". Now that we’d love to see - and we can help guide on where to shop Claudia’s best Traitors outfits.

While fans will get to see Claudia front her own chat show from Friday, March 13, Davina will also be back on screens the week after overseeing the hosting duties for Comic Relief.

"Comic Relief is in my DNA," she said of returning to present the fundraiser. "I know the charity, I know how they work, and I know how much they care.

"What I love is that all the money raised will help people with the essentials that matter most – food, a place to sleep, and feeling safe. It’s a really, really good charity.

"I don’t know any other nation to be so good at making fun of themselves, and we need to really celebrate that in dark times. Let’s celebrate something that we are really brilliant at, and all behave totally ridiculously."

Joel Dommett, Katherine Ryan and Nick Mohammed will join Davina presenting on the night, but there’s one co-star who'll be there on the night she’s "terrified" of - Catherine Tate’s foul-mouthed character, Nan.

"I am mildly terrified of Nan, if I’m honest. How I’m going to stop her from swearing, I just don’t know! Obviously 'please do not swear' was my catchphrase on Big Brother - so I’m going to have to stay on my toes."

Catch Davina on Comic Relief: Funny For Money, airing at 7pm on BBC1 on Friday, March 20.

Claudia Winkleman is busier than ever right now. She might have departed Strictly Come Dancing at the end of the last series, but she's got the ever-popular Traitors and Celebrity Traitors, plus her new chat show starts on Friday 13th March, and she's just joined Clare Balding on the presenting teams for Crufts.

She brought her signature style to the dog show on Wednesday, teaming her go-to chunky black boots (which Traitors fans will no doubt recognise) with a pair of black skinny jeans and a casual khaki jacket, personalised with the word 'DOGS' on the back.

The thing that Claudia Winkleman does so well is that she's found a style that suits her and she sticks to it. Not only does it make deciding what to wear so much easier, it's about creating a personalised capsule wardrobe that shows your personality.

Investing in a good khaki jacket will pay off as we head into spring, as you really can wear it with everything. It's a universally flattering colour that you can consider a neutral, since it will work with everything from leopard print to all the spring/summer fashion colour trends 2026.

She's known for her hilarious admissions, and Claudia Winkleman has now issued another brutally honest, laugh-out-loud statement - and this one involves her dog, Skip.

As a self-confessed dog lover, one of Claudia's first gigs after Strictly will see her surrounded by pooches, as she's landed the role of Crufts presenter for Channel 4.

And given how much she adores Skip, her Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, it looks like the Crufts contestants are going to get a whole lot of love thrown their way by the presenter.

Claudia says of Skip, "He sleeps in our bed, we chat to him constantly, I kiss his paws and we can no longer go anywhere without him," according to The Irish Sun.

Not content with co-sleeping with her beloved hound, Claudia also reveals, "He’s divine. I French-kiss him. I licked his entire tongue once," as she refers to Skip as "the love of my life."

She appears to have experienced an about turn in her feelings towards four-legged friends, as she once told The Times she couldn't understand those who said "a dog is the best friend any of us could wish for."

She added, "Now hold on a second. I know dogs are adorable, loyal, smart, friendly, funny, good to have around, but best friends? They don’t chat back, they don’t order margaritas, they don’t answer the phone and solve every problem."

"They don’t choose your outfit, they don’t roll their eyes at the tool who ignored you last week and they don’t laugh at your jokes. Yes, they have gentle eyes, knowing nods, wagging tails and are great to come home to, but, guys, they’re dogs."

Now it appears Claudia has completely backtracked on those words and Skip is the centre of her universe and very much her bestie.

Claudia and her husband, Kris Thykier, had wanted a dog for some time, but sensibly waited until their children were older and they had enough time to dedicate to the needs of one.

She made a public plea for Kris to let her have a dog during her Bafta award acceptance speech in May 2023, saying, "Thank you to my husband Kris, please can we have a dog?" Skip arrived shortly afterwards.

Now a proud owner, Claudia says, "We always wanted one but we worried we wouldn’t be able to give a dog enough time. Once the kids got older we knew we could give them the attention they deserve."

Channel 4's coverage of the prestigious Crufts begins on March 5, and Claudia will join hosts Clare Balding, Ellie Simmonds, and Radzi Chinyanganya to showcase the dogs to audiences tuning in.

Sharing enthusiasm for her new role to her Instagram followers, Claudia wrote, "There are no words to describe my excitement. I have treats, a perfume that smells of ham and my dog voice. See you in March."

Ellie Simmonds commented, "It’s the best 4 days, you’re going to absolutely love it! Welcome to the C4 Crufts team."

Radzi Chinyanganya added, "So so wonderful to have you with us Claud! Welcome to our special Crufts family, you’ll love it!"

Crufts has a rich history, and started in 1891. Named after its founder, Charles Cruft, the show began in London's Islington with over 2,000 dogs taking part.

Following Charles Cruft's death in 1938, his wife took over the event and eventually sold it to the Kennel Club, who run it to this day.

After moving to the Olympia in London for a period of time, Crufts relocated to the NEC in Birmingham, where it remains to this day.

From the Glitterball to go fetch the ball, Claudia Winkleman has revealed she’s swapping Strictly Come Dancing to join the presenting team for Crufts.

Claudia - along with long-time host Tess Daly - departed the BBC dance show in December 2025, but it won’t be long until she’s back on screens, after announcing she’ll be joining the likes of Clare Balding for the annual dog show, airing from Thursday, March 5.

While audiences have come to love Claudia’s trademark heritage style while presenting The Traitors, we can’t wait to see what outfits she’ll wear for the dog show. Those timeless wool coats might be perfect for storing treats.

Of her new gig, Claudia has said, "I absolutely love dogs and there is literally nowhere else on earth I'd rather be.

"I can't wait to join this incredible team, and I'm so grateful to Channel 4 for allowing me to be part of it. I have a pocket rammed with treats."

For Claudia and Clare Balding - who has hosted the annual competition for Channel 4 since 2010 - it’ll be a nice reunion. Clare took part in the first celebrity series of The Traitors in 2025.

Of reuniting with the host of the series, Clare said in a statement, "I'm really looking forward to working with Claudia, who is a fantastic addition to the team. She really loves dogs and will bring an additional element of fun, as well as an intelligent curiosity and, of course, style."

And Clare wasn’t wrong about Claudia’s love of dogs. In fact, Claudia might have overshared with a divisive confession during a podcast appearance in January 2025.

On her episode of Where There's a Will There's a Wake, Claudia talked about getting her King Charles Spaniel, named Skip.

She revealed, "So I have recently got a dog who I am in love with. I mean, I'm going to bore you [until] your ears bleed. The two [children] have left home. I didn't know what to do. I thought I might steal a baby.

"So instead I got a dog… I’d never had a dog before or any form of animal, but this little dog, who I open his mouth and insert my tongue. I do."

"Did you ever see that film There's Something About Mary, and there’s that old orange lady that goes 'lalalalala' with her dog? I was like 'That is disgusting!' It's me! Turns out that I'm that lady. I'm like 'How did they know?'"

"My husband was like 'This is too much. Have you had a Baileys?' 'No, I've had a Ribena.' He was like 'Step away, away from the dog!'"

Well, probably wise not do that during the Best in Show segment at Crufts, Claudia.

With the 29th series of Silent Witness set to land on our screens in just a matter of days (on February 2nd to be exact) - we can't wait to see the legendary Emilia Fox in action again.

It might be the impeccable, British heritage-inspired outfits she’s worn on The Traitors that made us fall in love with Claudia Winkleman’s style, but the more understated wardrobe she pulls from while filming other projects has us just as impressed.

Earlier this month, she was spotted filming for Channel 4’s The Piano, wearing a coat we could hardly believe was from the high street. With a chic high neckline, structured silhouette and neat front patch pockets, we could have easily mistaken her short wool coat with a high-neck from Zara as another one of her designer jackets.

Styled with a pair of simple black trousers and, of course, her iconic fingerless gloves, the coat perfectly blends versatility with sophisticated style, and we can see it becoming a staple through both winter and spring, as its timeless cut and versatile black hue pair effortlessly with any outfit.

Timeless and versatile, a high-neck, or scarf coat like Claudia’s is one of the best winter coat trends of 2025. As well as offering warmth on the coldest of days, the shape the neckline creates is sleek and elevated, and complements the shorter hem beautifully.

The silhouette also adds to the versatility of this already incredibly functional black coat. Structured and sophisticated enough to layer over tailoring, or with your favourite pair of jeans, best white trainers and, a la Claudia, a pair of fingerless gloves, it doesn’t feel out of place with more laidback weekend attire, too – there’s really no better winter capsule wardrobe staple than a black coat.

Claudia’s Zara jacket is a particularly good investment, with its fabric being made from 50% wool. Due to its insulating properties, wool is a great material to rely on through the cold months, and it also gives coats a beautifully textured finish to help you both look and feel cosy.

It's Claudia Winkleman's birthday today, so to celebrate, we're recreating her latest Traitors outfit - and it's a really good one.

For Thursday's episode, her stylist Sinead McKeefry paired a black and white jumper with a tweed kilt skirt, which is by Le Kilt. The brand really does what it says on the tin, and this isn't the first time Claudia's worn their striking designs.

Add in this pair of smooth leather burgundy knee-high boots by The Row (yours for a little under £3,000) and a Madeleine Thompson cashmere jumper, and this has to be one of my favourite looks so far this series. Her exact skirt is available to buy if your budget will stretch that far, otherwise I've found a top notch tweed lookalike in the sale at LK Bennett. Happy shopping!

Shop the look

When heading out for the latest mission, Claudia layered up in what looks to be the £895 Reiss Atelier Wool-Blend Longline Coat in Khaki. Unfortunately, it has now sold out, but Reiss has a really similar mink-coloured option in the current collection, or we've lined up some similar wool coats from Mango and Zara.

The ankle-skimming length of the coat really added to the drama, and I love the handwarmer pockets. The fabric contains cashmere, which adds to the luxury feel, and Claudia styled it in her signature cosy way, with a green mohair hat, fingerless gloves and chunky black boots.

Some of Claudia's looks on the show can feel a little out there (like a tulle maxi skirt in the mud), but a tweed midi skirt, knee-high boots and a long winter coat are all really practical, wearable and stylish pieces.

The Traitors is back on our screens at 8pm this evening, and anyone who has been watching this latest series will know it's an unmissable episode.

I'm excited to see what questions Harriet will put to the traitors, but I'm even more excited to see host Claudia Winkleman's outfit in all its glory! She shared a sneak peek on Instagram this afternoon, and she's wearing the best jumper I think I've ever seen her wear - and that's a seriously high bar. Bravo once again to her superstar stylist Sinead McKeefry.

I'm clearly not the only fan. Claudia captioned the image with "I actually licked this sweater before sending it back (sorry). We’re on at 8." and fans rushed to comment, writing "Didn't know I needed a duck jumper in my life until I saw this!", "WHAT A JUMPER" and "Iconic. Where can we buy that jumper? That actual jumper? I'll pay extra for the licked one I'm not even joking."

Claudia opted for a pair of tartan trousers and some smart tan brogues by Grenson to go with her statement knit. Since the Burberry jumper is slightly cropped,you could wear yours with high-waisted jeans or plain black tailored trousers if the print clash is too much for you.

So far on this series, Claudia has been wearing brands such as Brora, Holland Cooper, LK Bennett and Saint Laurent to achieve her signature Highland chic style, adding in key basics such as her beloved Spanx seamless leggings and fingerless gloves.

Claudia Winkleman is back on our screens with another season of The Traitors, which means that not only are we anticipating dramatic roundtables and cold-blooded murders, but we're also eyeing up Claudia's playful signature style for the season ahead.

Saturday night's episode saw Winkleman in a textural and playful combination, providing us with some seriously chic cold-weather style inspiration. She wore a patterned co-ord featuring fluid culottes and a matching tie-neck blouse that peeked out from underneath a woolly knitted tank top.

In terms of footwear, she opted for some light brown knee-high boots that worked seamlessly with the brown shade of her knitted tank. Later in the episode, she layered up with a cosy chocolate brown coat, which is actually from one of the best British clothing brands, Brora

Her patterned dark orange culottes and matching blouse are from Zara; however, unfortunately, both items have sold out, although there are plenty of culotte styles on the high street to shop. These are an especially great choice if you're wondering how to style your best knee-high boots, as the trousers feature a wide, pleated silhouette that creates the illusion of a skirt and falls just below the knee.

Styled by Sinead McKeefry, the look consisted of boots by the footwear brand Paris Texas and a knitted tank by Scottish brand Le Kilt. Although both have sold, we've rounded up some similar styles to shop below. Her beautiful coat, which is seen later on in the episode, is available to shop right now and is the Merino Wool Coat in Chocolate by Brora.

Get Claudia's Look

For the colder season, this styling combination is worth repeating. Culottes paired with knee-high boots, and a tie-neck blouse layered under a knitted tank is smart enough for evenings out or even office days, and endlessly adaptable.

We love that this outfit plays with colour, texture, and print. The key takeaway here is to pair bold items like printed culottes or a tie-neck blouse with complementary tones. Try picking out one or two of the hues in the print, and this will anchor even the loudest patterns.

The clomp, clomp, clomp, of Claudia Winkleman circling The Traitors’ round table is no accident. The host has revealed she purposefully chooses 'clumpy' heeled boots to create an intimidating sound as she walks.

And her boots of choice? The Theo Chelsea booties by YSL. In fact, she loves them so much she has them in three different colours: smooth black leather, soft brown and black suede too.

A generous heel, pointed toe and sleek shape make the ankle boots a timeless staple, while a western-inspired silhouette gives them an on-trend finish. They’re made of leather, which means they’re reliable and durable too, but their £975 price tag means they’re not the most affordable boots on the market. So we were very happy to find Dune London’s Paxten western ankle boots, which look incredibly similar and cost a fraction of the price.

Shop High-Street Alternative for Claudia's Boots

These Dune London boots are a great buy if you want to recreate Claudia Winkleman’s best Traitors outfits – and who doesn’t? Pairing effortlessly with pieces that have become staples in our winter capsule wardrobes since we’ve spotted Claudia in them, whether that’s simple black leggings or bold, tartan skirts, there’s little a sleek, black ankle boot can’t elevate.

Like her YSL pair, these more affordable Dune London boots are made from smooth leather and feature the same western-inspired shape, with a statement block heel and classic pointed toe. While Claudia’s boots are available in black and brown suede as well as classic black leather, the Dune pair can be picked up in smooth, dark brown leather and tan suede.

Talking about how her choice of boots highlights tension in the show, Claudia was previously reported saying: 'The walk around the table is very tense. I can't tell you how many times I walk around it, but I really try to build the tension, which is hideously mean but also quite addictive.

'I try and wear clumpy footwear to add to it. It gets a bit flamenco,' she added. 'They need to be incredibly loud. I'm thinking of going for a tap shoe next time.'

Hearts might have been broken when Claudia Winkleman announced she was leaving Strictly, but fans won't miss her for long. Her next project has just been announced, and it sounds like it’s set to be just as hilarious and star-studded as Strictly and The Traitors combined.

Taking over the prime-time Friday evening spot currently held by The Graham Norton Show on BBC One, The Claudia Winkleman Show will hit our screens in spring 2026 and, according to the BBC, see the Traitors host “welcome the biggest names from the worlds of film, television, music and beyond to her sofa for lively conversation with the help of a studio audience.”

While we’re, of course, excited for the host to pull out some fabulous outfits that might even rival Claudia Winkleman's best Traitors outfits, it’s not just her fashion that we’re itching to see on our screens again. Her brilliantly witty personality and hilarious sense of humour is what’s sure to brighten up our Friday nights – and she’s already given us a hint of what to expect from her presenting that’s made us want to watch her new show all the more.

In a statement released by the BBC, Claudia said: “I can’t quite believe it and I’m incredibly grateful to the BBC for this amazing opportunity. I'm obviously going to be awful, that goes without saying, but I’m over the moon they’re letting me try.”

Claudia has already had a bit of practice when it comes to hosting a chat show. Not only does she have plenty of experience under her belt as a guest herself, and of course she nailed hosting The Traitors and Strictly Come Dancing, but she also stepped in and presented an episode of The Graham Norton Show earlier this year in February.

When introducing the show, she showed off her classic, self-deprecating humour, and gave us a little taste of what we can expect from her upcoming chat show. “I am so sorry Graham isn’t here. To be honest nobody is more livid than me. That is the horrendous news. The brilliant news is that we have excellent guests.”

Spring might seem far off now, but before Claudia’s new chat show hits our screens, there are plenty of opportunities to catch her on the BBC. As well as season 4 of The Traitors beginning on New Year's Day, The Celebrity Traitors will follow later in the year.

For fans of The Graham Norton Show, don’t fret! While Claudia is taking over the show’s Friday night spot, this is only the case because The Graham Norton Show often has a break during the spring and summer months after concluding each series in February, and it is this fact that has left Claudia to fill the primetime slot.

Speaking about Claudia’s new chat show, Graham Stuart, who will be its Executive Producer, said, "Graham Norton has made the Friday night talk show slot a dazzling appointment to view. How can you possibly follow that? By booking a host equally as brilliant. So we have."

The show’s exact release date is yet to be announced, but we’ll be keeping a keen eye out to see exactly when we can expect Claudia to take to the chat show studio and fill our Friday nights with laughter.

We all know that French women are some of the most stylish in the world, and it seems that Claudia Winkleman heeded their style advice in this elegant little black dress. Sticking to timeless outfit formulas is a French woman's secret weapon, and while this snap was taken backstage at Strictly Come Dancing 2024, I think you'll agree that this boucle black dress with pearl-embellished neckline stands the test of time.

While Claudia finished her ensemble with cherry red slingback heels and gold jewellery, a great option for the festive season, this dress can easily be reinvented over and over again, making it an ideal contender for your capsule wardrobe. Add a black tuxedo longline blazer, black heels, an embellished clutch and a slick of red lipstick, and you have a whole new party look, meaning this investment buy can take you through multiple events with ease.

The boucle fabric, pearls and feminine silhouette give an air of Chanel, adding an extra Parisian and polished feel to the dress, which is still available in all sizes, and 40% off in this year's Black Friday sale. A truly classic buy that you can enjoy for many years to come.

This elegant dress is by fashion designer and celebrity favourite, Nadine Merabi, who has a long list of celebrity fans and a real flair for occasion wear. The dress in question is called the Simone, crafted with a body contouring bodice that delivers the ultimate fit and flare silhouette, flattering curves effortlessly.

The boucle fabric offers a more wintery texture, but still feels supremely elegant, and the pearl neckline is the icing on the cake. Available in sizes XS to XL, there is still a full roster of sizes available, and the additional beadwork and lurex thread in the fabric spin this into the perfect party piece.

Shop Black Boucle Dresses & Accessories

If you're looking to refresh your winter capsule wardrobe, adding a timeless little black dress is always a good idea. Boucle dresses have a subtle Parisian feel that makes them look and feel expensive. The additional pearl embellishment on Claudia's frock definitely ups the ante in terms of style and design, but it's subtle enough that you can enjoy this piece again and again.

For a cosier, more dressed-down feel, perhaps for the office, then onto a dinner event, try pairing your black dress with loafers and tights for the morning, before adding heels and extra jewellery for a night out.

If you were wondering if leopard print is still considered one of the big autumn/winter fashion trends for 2025, Claudia Winkleman has proved, without a doubt, that it is.

It’s not just the fingerless gloves and tartan prints that we see her in on The Traitors that dominate her wardrobe at this time of year. Each weekend on Strictly Come Dancing, she gives us plenty of festive party outfit inspiration with her elevated looks and effortlessly chic style.

Last weekend was no different, when she stepped out in H&M’s leopard print A-line dress for the Sunday night results show. It’s not surprising that the affordable and super on-trend piece is nearly sold out, with the short but wearable hemline, ¾ sleeves and floaty shape making the dress an easy and versatile staple for the cooler months. While Claudia chose to style it with matching leopard print heels to create a fun, party-ready look, you could easily team it with black tights and boots for a more smart casual feel.

We’ve come to know and love Claudia not only for her dramatic fringe that has us wondering if we’d suit bangs every time we see her, but also for her country-chic autumnal outfits onThe Traitors, which has left us tracking down her best Traitors outfits.

But if there’s just one thing we’ve learnt from her style, it’s that you can switch up your personal style for different occasions, and still look fab. You can be bundled up on a Thursday in one of the best winter coat trends 2025 and then step out on the weekend in a striking mini dress and pair of matching heels for a statement style.

And there’s no better way to make a statement than going out in head-to-toe leopard print. Claudia’s stylish outfit is so easy to recreate. With a simple A-line shape, long sleeves and high-sitting neckline a throw-on dress is the perfect autumn capsule wardrobe staple. Dress up with heels for smart casual outfit ideas, or down with boots, tights and a cosy, knitted cardigan to create one of the most versatile autumn outfit ideas of the season.

Claudia Winkleman has been inspiring our autumn wardrobes to no end with her chic style on The Traitors, but her casual, off-duty looks are not only just as elevated, they're practical for chilly weather too.

In a video posted to Instagram, she could be seen wearing a pair of light-wash, wide-leg denim jeans, which she styled with a long white T-shirt and olive green button-up. But it was her choice of footwear that caught our attention.

Slipping into a pair of Birkenstock Boston VL clogs in a mink hue, the warm-toned suede injected a ton of autumnal colour and cosiness into her outfit. This was enough to have us considering Bostons for winter wear, but when we realised that they’re lined with a cosy shearling fabric for added warmth, we were completely sold on the must-have style.

Claudia is no stranger when it comes to best dressed lists, with cosy, tartan-heavy looks from her time on The Traitors being some of the season’s best style inspiration. But while we might turn to her outfits from the show for more elevated occasions, it’s this jeans and Boston clogs pairing that’s going to see us through the season on a day-to-day basis.

Made from suede with a shearling lining and the classic Birkenstock rubber sole, the slip-on shoes are a winter-ready update to the much-loved summer iteration.

We already know how to style Birkenstock clogs after wearing them with literally everything, and their versatility makes adding a cosier style to our closets a no-brainer. Perfect in or out of the house, this is one shoe to get on your Christmas list.

A quarter of a century into a marriage, one might think a couple finds a way to deal with one another’s quirks and habits. Well, that’s not quite the case for Claudia Winkleman and her husband Kris Thykier.

The Strictly Come Dancing host - fresh off the rousing success of the first series of The Celebrity Traitors, where she once again wowed in an array of outfits worth recreating this winter - revealed her obsession with baths (or rather, what she does after a bath) still leaves her husband of 25 years close to tears.

Talking on the SheerLuxe podcast, Claudia explained, "I like a bath… I like a bath melt. We've created a new bath melt. I like to go in there. I like a book, I like hair up, I like a clip, then I like to wrap myself like a yeti in 17 towels that I'm never going to hang up."

It’s leaving these damp towels around the house that leaves her husband on the brink of tears, Claudia joked.

"I've been married for 23 years, it makes him almost burst into tears but I can't help it. I want to help him but somehow I can't. They're like little atolls all around the room.

"Just small, damp threadbare areas that he has to tiptoe around, what are you going to do."

It’s rare for the popular personality to discuss more of her private life, but Claudia has touched on what life at home is like in the past.

She previously told the Evening Standard of her London home, "I can leave my house at 4am and buy a kebab, rent a movie and get some shampoo. I love my shower, my bread bin and our tortoise, Yoshi."

Claudia has also previously revealed another surprising fact - and if one ever gets an invitation to Claudia’s home, we know to expect towels on the floor and not a lot of mirrors.

Claudia shared in a 2014 podcast that she doesn't have a lot of mirrors in her home, after growing up in a house without any at all. Her mother, former newspaper editor Eve Pollard, raised her in a mirror-free house - and Claudia has followed suit with her own family home shared with her husband and their three children, Jake, Matilda and Arthur.

Per the Mirror, she is reported as saying, "I was brought up in a house without mirrors, so my mum is a huge believer in the shell is only that. What I look like, how I've done my eyeliner - that's not the shiz, the stuff is the inside, the chat, the brains, the laughs, the loyalty, the kindness, the cooking an extraordinary roast chicken."

"What you look like is the least interesting thing about you, it's got to be, because it is all going to fall apart, and I hope I've passed that onto my kids as well."

While her towel habit might drive her husband crazy, Claudia definitely has an excuse to celebrate with a long soak.

After the success of the first series - which saw an average of 11.1 million people tune in for the final, the biggest live audience of the year for a single TV show - the BBC confirmed that a second series of The Celebrity Traitors will air in 2026, alongside the fourth series of the regular version.

Claudia Winkleman is surely one of the most iconic presenters on TV. From her incredible Traitors outfits to her hilariously non-existent skincare routine, she's the down-to-earth presenter you can't help but adore.

She's even making a great case for your 50s and beyond being the best years of your life - who needs shots and long bar queues when you can be playing bridge and discussing the warmth of duvets?

Claudia delved into all of the reasons she loves being in her 50th decade during an appearance on Lorraine Candy and Trish Halpin's Postcards From Midlife podcast. It's safe to say from her comments, that she's definitely found her era.

"I've felt 64 for the last 25 years," she tells Lorraine and Trish with her usual wit and openness. "I wasn't very good at being 20," she adds, continuing, "I don't like queuing for nightclubs, I don't even understand nightclubs."

What does Claudia like instead? She is absolutely enamoured with playing bridge. "I want to go on bridge tours, that's the aim guys," she shares. Asked what she got out of winning at bridge, Claudia's answer is just so Claudia - "glory," she says, her clearly competitive nature on display, adding, "which is, as you know, everything."

While her comments about being a terrible twenty-something might have been a little tongue-in-cheek, Claudia does reveal that she's had a "brilliant time" and is "incredibly grateful" for the years that came before, but she's now firmly where she feels comfortable.

"I was born to be here," she says, making us love her just that little bit more. Apart from bridge, there's more that Claudia enjoys about getting older. "I like being with my same eight girls, I like being with my parents, I like being with my kids," she replies in response to being asked what gives her the most pleasure in her 50s.

And most excitingly of all, "I like a good 45-minute conversation about the perfect tog of a duvet," she reveals. We are unabashedly the same, Claudia.

"My fun is still to come," she announces, inspirationally, revealing that she asked for a crochet set for her 21st birthday, when her parents thought she'd want her friends over for cocktails.

Apart from embracing her advancing years and being the poster woman for positive ageing, Claudia's career is also booming.

A clip of her appearing on Good Morning With Anne and Nick back in 1996 has recently resurfaced, and she's referred to as a "chat up connoisseur" as she discusses the best dating tips.

Charting her career progression from these beginnings to being one of the most in-demand presenters of her generation is something very special. Claudia is unusual in that instead of being aged out of her career, she's ageing in.

She might be leaving Strictly, but her work diary remains jam-packed. Her words about loving her 50s embody part of what we love about Claudia - she is always unapologetically herself, and will remain a legendary figure in her industry for her natural relatability.

Anyone who loves Claudia Winkleman's style (how could you not?) is lucky to have loads of opportunities to copy her best outfits at the moment. Between hosting The Celebrity Traitors and Strictly Come Dancing, she's on our screens most evenings!

Her incredibly talented stylist, Sinead McKeefry, assembles looks by a wide variety of labels, ranging from Spanx leggings and Nadine Merabi blazers to Burberry coats and Bottega Veneta boots. But it was the little black dress she wore on Sunday night's Strictly results show that has really got us talking here at woman&home HQ.

It's by one of our favourite British clothing brands, Albaray, and I love the black velvet fabric and contrast white collar and cuffs, which is very Claudia. At £99, it's the ideal dress to team with black tights and boots for daytime, but it will see you through to a Christmas party in the evening with just a change of shoes. There's definitely a bit of a Wednesday Addams feel to it, too, and perhaps you're looking for a last-minute Halloween outfit instead of a festive dress? This is the LBD that does it all.

The black and white colour palette makes this dress so easy to style. Stick to black to copy Claudia's gothic vibe, or you could add accessories in some of the autumn/winter fashion colour trends 2025, like tomato red or pastel pink, to mix things up a bit.

Shop similar LBDs

Claudia's dress is perfect for anyone who feels more comfortable in a long-sleeved style, and the velvet fabric is a bit more subtle than sequins. It's easy to wear (no worrying whether you can wear your best bra underneath!), plus the sparkly little buttons on the cuffs are a beautiful finishing touch.

While Claudia stuck to a black mini dress, Tess Daly turned heads in hot pink for the result show, wearing this vibrant design by Kate Middleton-approved brand Solace London. The duo recently announced their departure from the much-loved dance show, but will continue as hosts until the end of the current series.

Claudia Winkleman is no doubt one of the most incredible women on TV.

Whether it's her presenting prowess on Strictly Come Dancing or her enviable outfits on The Traitors, Claudia has us glued to our screens whenever she's on them.

Recently, her shock Strictly exit announcement left us gutted that she won't be hosting from the dancefloor with Tess Daly next year - and we're on the edge of our seats ready to tune into the latest episode of The Celebrity Traitors tonight.

When it comes to the autumn/winter fashion colour trends 2025, this time of year most often calls for shades of deep chocolate, dark grey and rich maroon, but there is one colour that always manages to break the mould each autumn, and that’s classic white. The fresh colour is like a palette cleanse for the chilly season and will brighten and freshen your wardrobe beautifully.

Unsure about wearing white post-summer? Both Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly showed off the trend perfectly with their latest Strictly Come Dancing looks over the weekend, and their outfits served up some excellent style inspiration. I loved Daly’s Safiyaa crepe jumpsuit, but it was Claudia’s chic blazer and wide-leg trouser set that really grabbed my attention.

Her tailored pieces are by Bella Freud, and she expertly layered them over a silky vest top and finished with heels. The suit was crisp, bold and had a classic yet modern feel to it, and recreating her look for the office or a night out over party season couldn’t be easier.

Bella Freud is a very popular designer amongst A-listers and fashion fans, and the British clothing brand has been extra busy recently, as the second M&S x Bella Freud collection launched in stores and online a few days ago. There are still plenty of sizes left, so go, go, go!

If Claudia's suit is now at the top of your shopping list, though, you might be thinking about how to style white pieces. Crisp basics are more versatile than you might expect, and you can wear your plain trousers like you would style your white jean outfits. Team them with colour pop tops or soft neutrals, and try adding your blazer to blue denim and a stripy top. The white colour will lift casual looks for a sharper feel, and your pieces will keep working hard in your closet all year round.

Everyone ready for another episode of Celebrity Traitors this evening? We can't wait to see who gets banished from the castle!

It almost goes without saying that host Claudia Winkleman's Traitors outfits are like characters themselves, and one of her most memorable looks from the last series had to be the Fair Isle jumper she wore, which was by Brora. The Scottish brand is a favourite of Kate Middleton's too, and since the knitwear was reduced in the January sales, the 'Claudia Effect' kicked in and it flew off the shelves whilst the show was on air. Bravo to her stylist, Sinead McKeefry, for sourcing that gem.

I've been checking for a restock ever since (yes, it really is worth waiting for!), and to my delight, Brora brought out a new version this week. The placement of the pattern is ever slightly different to Claudia's version, but it will give you that cosy, traditional look that's so chic for the colder months.

Priced at £245, the new version is made from alpaca instead of lambswool, making it weighty, soft and warm. It's been designed exclusively in-house and was inspired by Scottish heritage fashion. It might feel like a big investment, but trust me when I say this is the only knitwear you need in your winter capsule wardrobe, so snap it up before everyone else does...

The Princess of Wales is also partial to a Fair Isle style, so as we head towards the festive season, we'll be keeping our eye out in case she wears hers again.

The rest of the new Brora collection is also well worth checking out, from trending Argyle knitwear to luxury leather pieces and a dreamy waxed cotton military trench coat.

Alternatively, if you have the fashion foresight to shop beyond the season you're in, there are some amazing bargains to be found in the Brora sale, including their bestselling gingham blouse in blue and some chic suede trainers.

Strictly Come Dancing season is now in full swing, and the celebrity line-up of hopeful dancers have been showing their moves off to the nation each weekend again. I fell head over dancing heels for host Claudia Winkleman’s sparkly blazer and leggings look last week, and I honestly didn’t think her wardrobe could get any better, but then she stepped out in a top-to-toe Norma Kamali ensemble on Saturday, and my style crush reached a whole new level!

Styled by Sinead McKeefry, the 53-year-old presenter wowed in a fitted black top and a maxi skirt which had a gorgeous gothic vibe to it, that actually felt a bit more like her dramatic outfits from The Traitors, but the details like the strong shoulder pads and sheer panels, as well as her chunky gold jewels gave the moody get-up a very modern and glamorous spin that is perfect for after hours.

Love her look as much as I do? The good news is that both of her all-black separates are still available to buy. I’ve included them as well as some similar staples below, that will all wow for a night out or as a new take on date night outfits.

Shop Claudia's look

I love the simple yet dramatic feel of Claudia’s outfit, and it really popped against co-host Tess Daly’s pink sequin dress by ROTATE. The subtle design details added some extra oomph to Claudia’s pieces without feeling OTT, and it’s a clever way to inject a little high-fashion vibes into an otherwise understated outfit.

When shopping for basics, look for extra little touches like an asymmetric neckline, a flared cuff or even stand-out buttons, as they can all bring a fresh feel to your outfit in the most effortless way.

Celebrity Traitors kicks off tonight, and I couldn't be more excited. There's all the backstabbing and the dramatic roundtables, but of course, as a fashion editor, what I'm really keen to see is host Claudia Winkleman's Traitors outfits.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you'll know that her Countrycore ensembles get just as much attention as the faithfuls and the traitors. From Fair Isle knits to pleated kilt skirts and chunky boots, Claudia and her superstar stylist Sinead McKeefry always get it so right.

For the first episode, Claudia chose these incredible designer boots, which will hopefully prove to be a key component of her wardrobe this series. They're by Givenchy, and they actually might look a bit familiar. Back in 2012, Kim Kardashian couldn't stop wearing her Givenchy Shark Lock knee-high boots, which feature a distinctive fold-over silhouette. The French fashion house revived them last year. Claudia's version has the punky addition of metal buckles on the side, and they truly do suit her down to the ground.

If you don't have a few thousand pounds to splash, then luckily, the foldover look is something the high street is loving at the moment, too. Personally, I am 100% faithful to those Kurt Geiger beauties...

Participants in the Celebrity Traitors include Kate Garraway, Alan Carr, Clare Balding and Celia Imrie, who are competing for the cash prize on behalf of their charity of choice.

It starts at 9pm on BBC One tonight.

Autumn is here, which means Claudia Winkleman is back on our telly screens on a weekly basis, and we can collectively ‘ooh’ and ‘ahh’ over her wardrobe again. It won’t be long until the celebrity version of The Traitors returns (set your alarms for 9pm on 8th October) and we can all swoon over Claudia’s knitwear and layers, but right now it’s her glamorous Strictly Come Dancing outfits that are grabbing my attention.

Last weekend, the star rocked a smart monochrome look, which included a silky cream blouse by British clothing brand and Kate Middleton favourite, Bella Freud. The £475 silk blouse had a contrasting black necktie, and when put together by her superstar stylist Sinead McKeefry with a pair of tailored black ME+EM trousers and some bright white court shoes, it made for a timeless yet fun alternative to a sparkly frock for the dancing show. It also served up some excellent shopping inspiration if you are on the hunt for a fresh look for the office or even something new as a date night outfit.

Sadly, Claudia’s blouse has sold out, but I have rounded up some similar buys below to recreate her look for the new season and beyond. Whatever you have planned for the coming weeks, a blouse like the star’s will guarantee you look FAB-U-LOUS!

Claudia opted for a button-down shirt complete with a classic black tie, and whether you go for something androgynous and sharp like hers, or opt for a softer contrasting black ribbon at your neck, this look will channel a little 1970s into your outfit.

Try wearing your piece with your best wide-leg jeans for a true vintage vibe, or add a shiny leather skirt, black tights and ankle boots for a sexier spin.

We could hardly contain our excitement when it was announced that The Traitors would be coming back for a special celebrity season this October – not only because we’ve missed the glorious drama of the show but because we’re desperate for style inspiration from the queen of smokey eyeshadow herself: Claudia Winkleman.

So while we wait for her and her fingerless gloves to grace our screen again, we’ve been searching out the products she swears by for getting that signature smokey look – and we were surprised to learn from a snap shared by her makeup artist Lucy Gibson that she relies on not only an incredibly easy to use shadow stick, but one that’s super affordable too.

Retailing at £25, Vieve's Eye Wands in the shades Raven and Espresso are Claudia’s go-tos when she wants a rich colour that she can trust not to budge, smudge or run when tensions run high at the round table.

Aleesha Badkar, woman&home's Beauty eComm Editor, is a big fan of eyeshadow sticks and recommends them to anyone, whether they're a beauty novice or fully-fledged makeup artist.

"Eyeshadow sticks have become increasingly popular in the last few years, for their speed, ease and on-the-go convenience," she says. "While I haven't tried Claudia's go-to Vieve option myself, anything with a soft formula that blends well and a lightweight casing that's comfortable to use gets a yes from me."

Fuss-free, the Vieve shadow sticks are designed to stay creamy even after application. That makes them easy to blend and build on, so you can increase your colour pay-off without having to worry that the formula is going to set down into an unmovable blob of colour.

However, they’re still smudge-proof and super long-lasting, with the formula setting down to take Claudia through long nights of filming without any trouble at all.

A true multi-tasker, Vieve says its shadows are perfect for acting “as a primer for creating a canvas for your shadows,” and, thanks to the thin tip of the stick, for using as an eyeliner too.

And they “can be worn alone for a simple yet sultry finish.” If you’re going for the latter, apply one swipe for a subtle, natural look or build up the layers to the intensity you desire. In Claudia’s case, we expect she really went to town to get those smokey, dramatic shadow looks.

Claudia and her makeup artist aren’t the only people to swear by Vieve’s shadow sticks, plenty of shoppers are raving about them too. “Fool-proof eye wand, that are so convenient on those days where you don't have 20 mins to spend on eye make-up. Very creamy,” one shopper wrote. “This one never tugs the skin, it just melts in and blends so easily. I don't even use a brush, I pat and blend with my fingertip and it looks immaculate.”

Another added, “Whether I wear them for an evening or all throughout the day they stay in place and don’t crease at all.”

While a third said, “Powder eyeshadows and even eyeliners can irritate my eyes as they are very sensitive - these Vieve sticks do not! They are so comfortable, creamy and long-wearing and the colours are stunning. I use them as an all-over eyeshadow, eyeliner, definer, etc – absolutely amazing multi-purpose product that is truly fool-proof.

Some of us have a more distinct signature style than others and Claudia Winkleman’s go-to uniform is a white shirt, black trousers and a longline blazer. This combination was exactly what she wore to the Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition Preview Party last month - with one special addition.

The Traitors host paired her blouse and straight leg trousers with some gorgeous beige and black Chanel Mary Jane pumps. Reigning supreme as one of the most lusted-after French clothing brands, Chanel is the first brand that comes to mind when I think of two-tone shoes like this.

They’re famous for their ballet flats and slingbacks that you can pick up in various colours, with a contrasting toe cap. Claudia’s comfy block heel shoes were on the more neutral side which complemented her black and white outfit perfectly.

Shop Two-Tone Shoes

Whether or not you want to invest in the real deal like she did, or in a style reminiscent of their timeless design, I’d recommend going for neutral colours. When you’ve already got two different tones going on, it makes it simpler to incorporate your shoes into outfits if the shades are understated.

Claudia Winkleman’s Mary Jane heels had both a black toe cap and a black heel, with the tiny gold CC logo on it. The rest of the shoe was a soft beige tone and this included the handy ankle strap that ran across the top of her foot.

I love this about Mary Janes as you don’t need to worry about whether your feet could slip out of your shoe - especially if you’re making your way across grass at a BBQ or garden party. The broadcaster’s shoes were even more stable because of the heel.

Although Claudia loves a sky-high heel, block heels are much more universally wearable. They still add extra elevation, but with more of a solid base to walk on and this makes shoes like hers a lovely alternative to summer stilettos.

The two-tone design oozes the timeless elegance we associate with Chanel, the heel is manageable and the strap is practical and charming. This kind of footwear is feminine enough to complement your best summer dresses and sufficiently cool to work with the structured formality of women's trouser suits.

Claudia Winkleman styled hers with a high neck white blouse with frilled cuffs and crisp black trousers. She carried a plain black clutch that tied in with the smooth black leather toe caps on her Chanel shoes. The whole ensemble felt very minimal and considered.

It was also similar to what she wore to last year’s Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition Preview Party. She wore black leggings tucked into pointed-toe ankle boots and a white shirt with a black collar and piping. Claudia finished off her outfit with an oversized velvet blazer.

Like this year’s look, the only real pop of colour was her nails. Claudia Winkleman is a fan of orange-red polish that brings brightness without disturbing the monochrome theme too much.

Winter is Claudia Winkleman’s ultimate style season. She loves knitwear, long coats and boots - so when she finds a spring/summer staple she loves, we can’t help paying attention.

The Traitors host has now declared that "culottes are back" for 2025 as she was photographed in a beautiful pair by Jaeger in her role as an M&S Ambassador. These white culottes are a gorgeous option when you want the comfort of jeans, but need something smarter.

Smart-casual outfits can sometimes be trickier to put together than you think. So having some key pieces like this in your spring capsule wardrobe that feel a bit more elevated is an easy place to start.

Shop Claudia Winkleman's Culottes

Shop More Culottes

Culotte designs can vary and Claudia’s Jaeger ones are voluminous enough to look like a skirt if you didn’t know any different. The dramatic wide-leg shape is so flowy and beautiful for the warmer months and also makes them feel quite feminine and elegant.

Digital Fashion Ecommerce Editor for woman&home, Caroline Parr, agrees with Claudia’s caption that "culottes are back" and she particularly loves this wide style.

"I tend to agree with everything Claudia Winkleman says, but she's definitely right about culottes. You'll have heard a lot of talk about skinny jeans being back this year, which is all well and good, but sometimes what you need is a loose, flowy silhouette, especially when the weather is sunny but still a little chilly," she says.

Caroline adds, "For me, the wider the cut, the better. I want them to almost look like a skirt for a really fresh and fluid silhouette. These are spot on."

We find wider pieces so comfortable as there’s nothing worse than being out for the day and your jeans or trousers digging into your legs. Some culottes are less billowy and more trouser-like, but whichever style you look at, they’re so chic.

Claudia Winkleman’s culottes are made with a touch of wool and are cropped. The deep box pleats help to give them plenty of movement and there’s a handy waistband adjuster at the side.

Pockets are another practical detail and the TV star chose to balance the smartness of her culottes by wearing them with a slouchy grey Jaeger knit. Her lace-up brogues added extra structure to contrast against her trousers.

This was a very Claudia way to wear them, but it’s not the only option. A fitted top or shirt would work well too, and ballet flats or your best white trainers can dress them up or down.

Ultimately, because of the volume and silhouette, you can style culottes as you would a midi skirt or tailored trousers. It’s lovely to see the presenter embracing them for spring 2025 - especially as Claudia Winkleman tends to prefer more tapered trousers or leggings, like the Spanx Seamless leggings she wore so much on The Traitors.

Culottes are a different look for her and she’s not the only one to step out in them recently either. Queen Mary of Denmark wore tailored culottes in Paris and we wouldn’t be surprised if more people agreed with them - and us - that culottes are well worth trying.

Claudia Winkleman is a fashion hero - and her combination of khaki camo over an all-black outfit made for the ultimate combination of edgy and sleek.

The enigmatic Claudia Winkleman has long been a source of style inspiration for us. And despite her incredible Traitors outfits and black satin moments on Strictly, we've been delving into the fashion archives to swoon over her past looks.

One cool camo and black ensemble particularly caught our eye - and reminded us of the edgy versatility that a khaki military style jacket can offer.

Camouflage is a print that we miss being part of our capsule wardrobes . While the likes of leopard print and polka dots never seem to go out of style, camo had a big moment for a few years around a decade ago. But we'd love to see it make a serious comeback in 2025.

Claudia's 2017 combination of a green-toned camo jacket worn over simplistic black skinnies and pointed-toe leather boots was a perfect lesson in how to wear the print.

Shop Cool Camo

Shop All-Black Style Staples

Claudia's black top, trousers and sleek black clutch bag really allowed her camo top to pop. Her hair was loose and tousled, with her signature fringe taking centre stage where her gorgeous dark hair is concerned, as always!

With a dark tan and oh-so-smoky eye makeup, Claudia was the same, gothic mysterious beauty in the throwback pictures that she is today. We are inspired to run straight to the shops and get our very own camo items and add some Claudia chic to our own wardrobes.

We love everything Claudia Winkleman wears - and we love reminiscing of her looks of the past, including her gorgeous polka dots and baby pink loafers combination.

If you're shopping for a capsule wardrobe, just look to Claudia Winkleman - her closet staples are the perfect mix and match items for an permanently stylish and eclectic look. We're obsessed with her Traitors outfits, and even more consumed by the fashion inspirations behind her incredible ensembles.

And a snapshot of Claudia from 2017 proves she's always been a fashion sensation - and her outfit is a masterclass in just how to wear pattern and colour. Pictured at the press night performance of The Ferryman, Claudia wore a green polka dot blouse, black cropped trousers, a slouchy black blazer and the cutest pink loafers. The outfit remains as relevant and stylish today as it did then, and proves she's an enduring icon of style.

Shop polka dot blouses

Shop pink loafers

Wearing the colourful blouse and loafers with black cropped trousers and a black blazer meant both items really popped when set against the dark colours. Claudia wore her signature dark hair down and tousled for the event, although her magnificent fringe was straight and its usual immaculate self.

Her makeup was pared back with much less of the smoky eye we're used to seeing from the star - a hint of pink lipstick matched perfectly with the pink from her shoes. Claudia also kept accessories to a minimum, wearing a couple of rings but no other jewellery, another decision that really let her clothes stand out and speak for themselves.

Have you ever wondered what truly inspired Claudia Winkleman's eclectic and iconic fashion? You're about to find out and it might be the most amazing thing you hear today.

Claudia Winkleman is starting to transcend what constitutes a regular TV presenter, and become her own entity - she's becoming a concept, a movement, and honestly, we can't get enough of her. If the Cult of Claudia is coming, sign us up. For starters, her unconventional (nonexistant) skincare routine is refreshing and will ease any guilt you have for the times you didn't take your makeup off before bed.

However, now she's singlehandedly responsible for wrist warmer searches surging by 860 per cent in January, and Fair Isle jumpers and tweed jackets flying off the rails, it's Claudia's fashion sense she's really getting known for. The star's Traitors outfits are quickly becoming more talked about than the contestants themselves.

Women up and down the country are suddenly finding themselves filled with an insatiable need to dress like they're cosplaying a bagpiping witch about to head off for a few rounds of golf - Claudia's style is so perfectly pitched to the tone of the series, it's almost as if her outfits came first and the show was based around them. If you've ever wondered what inspired Claudia's style, look no further.

In fact, her look comes from succinct and very specific people and themes, as Claudia revealed in conversation with Vogue. "Our base for Traitors is always Ronnie Corbett meets Princess Anne meets that phase when Madonna suddenly found the countryside through Guy Ritchie," she explains.

If you're unfamiliar with the particular Madonna look she's referring to, Claudia pinpoints the exact one - "When she was holding a lamb in Vogue, wearing a dusky green kilt. We want that, but mixed with a little bit of golf sale – because we like a diamond pattern," she adds.

The presenter also mixes up her style for each season of the show, and her theme for the third season is so wild, it's actually perfect. "I wanted to wear like… an old battered lace skirt with wellies and an oversized khaki sweater. It’s a bit woman on the verge of something ugly in a castle left with just a bottle of spray tan and eyeliner," she says, we're imagining without a hint of irony.

Of course, knitwear features heavily in Claudia's ensembles and she's rightly proud of mixing budget items with high end. "Oversized knitwear is key to all of it, too," she states, continuing," I love the fact that we do half high street and half not. So I can wear the most extraordinary jumper from Purdey with a pair of leggings that we bought on Amazon for £8."

Claudia's on set non-negotiables were also discussed as part of the interview. While her ever-present Hunter wellies might come to mind as a must-have, or you can envisage the star requesting a white Siamese cat for her dressing room for her to stroke like a Bond villain between takes, her actual requests are just as fantastic as her fashion inspiration.

"I like beef Hula Hoops, Skips and Ribena," she reveals. Claudia concludes, "I really like Cadbury’s chocolate buttons, more than I should. And also an M&S prawn sandwich – not the posh one, not the new one, but the old-school one. Or I like an egg sandwich. And that’s pretty much it. If I’ve got Ribena, I’m fine."

If you've ever wondered about Claudia Winkleman's beauty routine, her night time skincare regime is exactly what you'd expect from the hugely relatable star.

There's just so much to love about Claudia Winkleman, and we're finding more to adore about the star with each passing day. It's not just her Traitors outfits and the dazzling black satin outfits she rocks when Strictly is airing, it's the entire package.

Claudia is self-deprecating without resorting to putting herself down in the way a lot of women feel they should. She's self-assured in the most relatable of ways - with lots of humour and very few cares to give about what others think of her.

Her unique look, from the infamous fringe, to the tan that borders on a satsuma-esque glow, to the gothic makeup, might draw scorn from somebody more vulnerable. But Claudia isn't bothered about what she looks like, and that level of confidence to step out looking so unconventional, inspires women everywhere to channel their inner Claudia and be whoever they want to be.

The latest snippet we've found out about Claudia, is that her night time skincare routine resembles that of a university student diving into bed straight from a night out - she simply doesn't have one. The presenter unabashedly admits to sleeping in her makeup every night.

"I've never ever taken it off before bed," the star told The Express, adding, "I take it off the next morning with my nifty Boots No7 gel which comes in a tube.

"Fantastic - don’t have to deal with pot opening. But no, I sleep in it. I have more fun in my dream."

How does Claudia deal with the carnage of makeup smeared bed linen? "With the eyeliner and the spray tan, it looks like I've had quite a nasty accident. You just have to apologise. I just wash [the sheets] a lot," she explains.

Shop Claudia's Beauty Favourites

Refreshingly, and truthfully, Claudia has spawned a mantra to live by: "What you look like is the least interesting thing about you" - we could not agree more. If you pin your happiness on your looks, there will come a day when ageing comes for you and "it's all going to fall apart," something Claudia has instilled in her three children, also.

"What I look like, how I’ve done my eyeliner – that’s not the shiz, the stuff is the inside, the chat, the brains, the laughs, the loyalty, the kindness, the cooking an extraordinary roast chicken," she told Women's Health's Go For Goal podcast.

Hilariously proud of, and owning her orange tinge, the star admits to using some fairly unconventional methods when it comes to maintaining her colour - and has famously used gravy granules to get her signature shade.

Laughing at herself, Claudia explains, "If you were using a Dulux colour chart, if there was one on there that said tangerine, right at the bottom, the one where you say, 'That’s going to be too much for our walls', it’s not too much for me. Put it on."

The tension is ramping up as we hurtle towards the season three finale of The Traitors on Friday. And host Claudia Winkleman certainly isn't slowing down when it comes to style!

In the latest episode she presided over a dramatic game of chess, before watching as the faithful and traitors came together to banish another player (side note: has anyone spotted Claudia always seems to wear an Oura ring? Her heart rate must be through the roof at the roundtable!) .

She's chosen a real mix of fashion brands this series - ranging from Scottish knitwear by Brora and Johnstons of Elgin to British clothing brands like ME+EM and Holland Cooper.

But this time stylist Sinead McKeefry turned to one of the very best French clothing brands, The Kooples, styling this black and white tweed blazer with her usual Spanx leggings and Bottega Veneta boots.

You don't need me to tell you how hard a blazer will work in your wardrobe, particularly as we approach jeans and blazer weather, so it's a sound investment.

And I'm definitely not the only fan of the dream team that is Claudia Winkleman and her stylist Sinead McKeefry. Comments on this outfit post on Instagram include: "my favourite part of the Traitors is waiting for Claudia to appear in these outfits" and "how will we survive the rest of winter without our Traitors fashion fix. Outstanding".

Happy 53rd birthday to Claudia Winkleman! And how did she celebrate her big day? By gracing our screens in another magnificent episode of The Traitors, of course.

Another new week of the show means more covetable Claudia Winkleman outfits, and truly, this one is outstanding. She and stylist Sinead McKeefry paired a pleated kilt-style midi skirt with the boots of the series (these beauties by Bottega Veneta), adding a super cosy Fair Isle knit for good measure.

The latter is by Scottish brand Brora, which also happens to be a favourite of the Princess of Wales. Made from 100% lambswool, it has to be just about one of the best wool jumpers money can buy, and the good news is Fair Isle isn't just for the festive season. We've got plenty more wintry weather to come, and this will look effortlessly chic with jeans even when spring has sprung, so it's worth parting ways with your hard-earned cash.

Claudia certainly isn't the only famous fan of Brora. Both Kate Middleton and her sister Pippa have worn their pieces on many occasions. Most memorable has to be this Fair Isle knit on Kate - pictured above in 2021 - and also her pink gingham blouse, which has restocked since the royal wore it, and would be perfect to fit with the spring/summer fashion trends.

It's one of several Scottish brands Claudia has worn on the show so far, including Johnstons of Elgin and Barrie, which is appropriate given the castle's stunning location.

With at least two head-turning outfits in each episode (not including those dramatic hooded cloaks!), we're certainly getting our fix of host Claudia Winkleman's signature style in this series of The Traitors.

Somehow we've already arrived at the end of week two, and so far she's brought out some gems, such as a cashmere floral jumper, a beautiful berry-coloured velvet blazer and a classic countrycore combination of Hunter wellies and a houndstooth coat.

Sure, there was the incredibly dramatic Raey faux fur coat and matching furry Chanel boots for the latest mission, but this black and white cardigan for the round table just topped my list of favourite Claudia Winkleman Traitors outfits.

It's by Self-Portrait, a brand whose fan club includes Spice Girl Emma Bunton and the Princess of Wales, no less. Kate even owns a sparkly cardigan by the label so Claudia's in good company.

You'll never go wrong with a classic black and white colour palette, plus a fancy cardigan is the answer to THAT wardrobe dilemma. You know - on chilly January evenings, when you've said you'll go to a dinner with a friend but you can't find anything to wear that's both warm and will make you feel like you've made an effort.

Claudia and her stylist Sinead McKeefry layered this piece with a sheer black turtleneck top underneath for a very Claudia-esque twist, adding black leggings and the oversized Chelsea boots by Bottega Veneta that she's previously worn this series.

It serves as both a lesson in upgrading your winter capsule wardrobe, and a reason for me to go shopping for some new knitwear. Not that I needed an excuse!

Just when you think The Traitors can't get any better, it does. Between the secrets, betrayal and Claudia Winkleman's incredible outfits, there's so much to love. If you're not watching series three yet, what are you doing with your January evenings?!

In the latest episode Claudia's layered look particularly caught my eye. There are certain Claudia Winkleman Traitors outfits that stay in your memory from each series, and I just know that this is going to live rent free in my mind for a while.

She teamed a check coat by Johnstons of Elgin with some of the best wellies money can buy - her favourite green Hunter boots. Add in a white lace-trim pussybow blouse by Purdey, plus a khaki knitted tank top and some tailored trousers by the same brand, and this ensemble is the epitome of Claudia's signature country chic aesthetic.

With plenty more episodes to come, we can't wait to see what Claudia will wear next. But since wellies and coats are key components of her Traitors look, if you're keen to copy these are the foundations you should focus on.

In another nice nod to her surroundings (in the previous episode she wore a jumper by Scottish company Barrie), Claudia's coat is by Johnstons of Elgin, a family-owned brand based in Scotland. Last year the brand was granted a Royal Warrant, and the label has even worked with luxury designer names like Burberry.

The drama on The Traitors is intensifying, and at the same time, Claudia Winkleman's outfits continue to go from strength to strength. With the help of superstar stylist Sinead McKeefry, Claudia's knitwear game has been incredible since the show began, but her camel coloured jumper featuring pretty red roses is the latest piece we've fallen in love with.

In the fourth episode of the new series, we saw the host guide the remaining traitors and faithfuls to their latest mission, wearing what must be the best cashmere jumper we've ever seen. It's by Barrie, which is one of the oldest cashmere knitting manufactures in Scotland. They joined forces with French fashion house Chanel back in 2012, so it's safe to say knitwear doesn't get any more chic than this.

In classic Claudia fashion, her rose-motif jumper is actually a menswear style, which she wore with a pair of Connolly brown suede trousers, boots by The Row and a Gucci camel coat. At £1410, it's certainly not the most budget-friendly knit, but the good news is we've found plenty of blooming beautiful floral alternatives to tempt you instead.

Claudia's fancy knitwear is proof that layering up in the freezing cold weather doesn't mean you can't have fun with with fashion. woman&home's Fashion Writer Molly Smith agrees, saying: "Claudia’s wardrobe is simply iconic, and this elevated rose-motif jumper is no exception.

"If this outfit proves anything, it’s that knitwear doesn’t have to be plain and simple, in fact, it can take centre stage. Opt for bold tones or patterns whilst your other items are pared back and neutral."

Claudia Winkleman’s Traitors style trick of being bold with sleeves is an easy way to transform your winter blazers.

Having classic pieces in your winter capsule wardrobe helps to ensure you get maximum wear out of your staples, but sometimes we can struggle for ideas on how to style them a little differently. A timeless black blazer is something many of us will have and Claudia Winkleman and her stylist Sinead McKeefry have once again delivered all the inspiration we need. The return of The Traitors for season 3 is every bit as exciting for the fashion as it is for the dramatic twists and one of Claudia Winkleman’s Traitors outfits featured a simple white blouse and black blazer.

As simple as it sounds, this is such an impactful look thanks to the ruffles on the sleeves and at the front which give it a Victorian vintage feel. Claudia gave us a brilliant glimpse of her sleeves in an Instagram post that showed her holding up a board with a hilarious misspelling of The Traitors as a nod to the inevitable misspellings of contestants’ names in the roundtables.

The blouse looks to be the same one by Sister Jane she wore early on in season 3. Very sadly - though not at all unsurprisingly - Claudia’s exact blouse appears to be sold out but the similar £110 Dream Shirley Blouse is still available. The Traitors host’s shirt was white and had beautiful frilled sleeves with tiers that gave them so much movement but also made them stand out even more under her blazer.

Claudia pulled the sleeves down below the cuffs of the jacket and left her shirt untucked over her streamlined black trousers. This allowed the blouse to drape down beautifully and the contrast between the structure of her blazer and the whimsical shirt was striking. If this top was the same one the TV star wore in promotional images and trailers and early on in The Traitors season 3 then it also had ruffles across the front too.

She completed the black and white look with a black rose-shaped adornment that looked to be tied around the neckline of her ruffly white shirt. Whilst not everyone will be tempted to fully recreate Claudia Winkleman’s somewhat Gothic style on The Traitors, this particular outfit showed how much of a difference sleeves can make to a simple shirt and blazer combination.

Ruffled sleeves or even those with a slightly more unusual shape like a flare or bell sleeve don’t take away from the versatility of a blouse or shirt, but make it slightly more fun and statement, especially when worn under a blazer.

Opting for bolder sleeves that you can make a feature of is a great trick to jazz up a jacket for an evening out or special occasion. It’s also something that you can embrace as subtly or adventurously as you like, depending on your personal style.

It might have come early on, but this ruffle shirt and blazer look from Claudia Winkleman on The Traitors season 3 has already inspired us to mix up how we wear our staples this January. With so many episodes to come before the finale airs on 24th January we’re also looking forward to seeing what other eye-catching outfits she steps out in as the pressure to identify this year’s treacherous contestants intensifies.

I cannot get enough of Claudia Winkleman's dramatic outfits in the brand new series of The Traitors. Just two episodes in and we've already seen Fair Isle knits, chunky boots, a tweed cape and of course, plenty of her signature fingerless gloves. Bravo to her stylist Sinead McKeefry!

But my favourite of all Claudia Winkleman's Traitors outfits so far has to be this black velvet jumpsuit from episode two. It's by French clothing brand Sandro, and features pearl embellishment on the neckline, plus contrast white cuffs and the most flattering trousers ever.

Now how would Claudia style one of the best jumpsuits I hear you ask? In the most Claudia way possible. Look down and the detail you might have missed when watching the show was that she added a pair of black and white penny loafers. Genius!

Velvet might be seen as a very festive fabric, and you might even have worn a dress or velvet trousers for your Christmas party? Claudia's look is proof that velvet can work all year round, so don't waste it waiting for December to come back around.

The key is playing with textures. Don't be afraid to style with leather, suede, knitwear - you name it!

And you don't need us to tell you how much a jumpsuit will revolutionise your wardrobe. Find a perfectly-fitting all-in-one and it will make deciding what to wear infinitely easier. We're still swooning over Emilia Fox's velvet jumpsuit from a couple of weeks ago too. Decisions, decisions...

With the new year comes a new season of BBC’s The Traitors, the epic, engrossing game of deception and deceit that has established itself as must-see TV.

With season three debuting tonight – and don’t worry if you missed it, you can find out how to watch the show from anywhere to catch up - we met a whole new cast of hopeful Faithfuls and Traitors alike – and, of course, we saw the return of the permanently-tanned, permanently-fringed Claudia Winkleman presiding over it all.

While everyone switches into the show to be captivated by the twists, turns and trusts being shattered, it’s fair to say viewers are almost as Faithful to Claudia’s iconic outfits as they are the show itself.

And this includes *those* red gloves - which made a return.

During the first tense vote - which sees the contestants try to pick out their first Traitor - Claudia turned up in a striking black velvet smoking jacket.

Playing with texture - and mixing a menswear silhouette with something ultra feminine and vampy - Claudia paired the classic jacket with a satin, lacy shirt.

The statement shirt came with dramatic bell sleeves.

Now the Traitors is back, we can expect plenty more memorable looks from Claudia.

woman&home editor, Kerrie Hughes, previously spoke with stylist Sinead Mckeefry, about how she's turned Claudia's looks into an iconic part of the show.

"The thought I'm inspiring people to be a bit creative themselves, and to think, actually, we're all really good at just putting on that black jumper and black jeans every day and running out the house."

"To know people are stopping and thinking about what they're wearing, and it's making them feel good - that means so much to me."

Claudia Winkleman delivered a masterclass in styling neutrals in the cosiest way for winter with her new M&S outfit.

Claudia Winkleman’s style is sensational all year round but in the colder months she takes things to a whole other level. From her best wool jumpers on The Traitors to her velvet blazers, the broadcasting legend loves cosy yet chic layers and her latest look as an M&S Ambassador is the epitome of this. Styled by Sinead McKeefry, Claudia wore a brown coat over a grey cardigan and skirt combination that showcased neutral tones at their best. She appeared in several pictures shared by herself, Sinead and M&S on social media and even those who aren’t big fans of mini skirts might be excited to see how she wears one.

Claudia has always preferred longline coats and this one was gorgeous, with elongated lapels and a slightly oversized fit. Two handy pockets on either side are great for fitting your essentials and this coat had two buttons to fasten it at the front and delicate matching ones on the cuffs.

If you don’t already have a long tailored coat in your winter capsule wardrobe we’d very much recommend considering adding one. They’re the perfect outerwear choice when you want to dress a more casual outfit up and look beautiful worn with midi dresses and skirts to give an elongating effect where a short coat might cut off at the wrong point.

Claudia didn’t go for a midi length skirt herself, though, and instead delivered a masterclass in how to wear a mini skirt in a cosy, relaxed way in winter. Whilst many people might have added some tights for extra warmth, she didn’t go for them on this occasion with her grey textured A-line mini skirt. Priced at a very affordable £39.50 on M&S, we’re not surprised that this has been flying off the shelves this December and is almost out of stock.

It is crafted from a textured fabric which features wool for a premium and warm feel. Pleats at the front and back are a lovely detail and the loops open up different styling possibilities if you love accessorising with different belts. A dark grey like this is a versatile neutral that works with so many other shades but has warmth to it, unlike some lighter grey hues.

The TV star’s cardigan was a very similar tone and had a classic V-neckline and button-through front. It’s made from textured yarn and has a relaxed fit that makes it brilliant for layering over T-shirts, shirts and long-sleeved tops. Cardigans are one of those clothing items that aren’t strongly associated with a particular season and Claudia could easily re-wear this £35 M&S cardigan in spring and summer too.

Underneath it she opted for what looks to be a white T-shirt which kept to the all-neutral colour palette of her outfit. This also made the deeper colours of Claudia’s knitwear, skirt and coat pop even more in contrast and highlighted the sweep of the neckline. She finished off her wintry look with lace-up brown brogues that gave it a cool edge.

Alternatively, you could wear similar pieces with opaque tights and knee high boots or heeled ankle boots for extra coverage and elevation. However you might want to style them, grey and brown staples like Claudia's M&S coat, cardigan and skirt are such great pieces to mix and match with your existing favourites.

Claudia Winkleman’s gorgeous Jaeger blazer styled with matching trousers has convinced us that a velvet jacket is a winter staple.

Finding the perfect Christmas party outfit isn’t always easy - especially if you much prefer dressing for the warmer months, but Claudia Winkleman is the queen of cold weather styling and she’s been giving us plenty of inspiration. From Claudia’s black boucle minidress on Strictly Come Dancing to her championing the best wool jumpers, tartan prints and boots on The Traitors last year, her style really comes into its own in autumn/winter. She also loves a bit of velvet and her Jaeger blazer and matching trousers caught our eye when she wore them in a recent Instagram post with M&S, for whom she’s a brand ambassador.

M&S described it as the “suit of the season” and it’s certainly up there with its luxurious velvet fabric and timeless silhouette. The blazer in particular is a stand-out piece and has a tuxedo design, with contrasting satin lapels that give it a sophisticated feel.

Claudia’s velvet blazer has a regular fit which makes it great for layering over your favourite tops and lightweight knits and is single-breasted with a peak lapel collar. Whilst it looks fabulous, it’s also got added stretch making it extra comfortable and the pockets at the waist are so practical.

A black velvet jacket might seem very simple but that’s precisely why we think it’s such a great staple to have in your collection. Velvet is especially popular in the colder months and the sheen of this fabric makes any velvet item seem that bit more glamorous and elevated.

Combine that with the classic silhouette of a tailored blazer and you’ve got yourself a piece that is perfect for completing evening out and special occasion looks. If you love a pop of colour, a vibrant velvet jacket has a similar effect and we've seen Claudia wear one of these before too.

You could also dress a velvet blazer down with blue denim jeans and a pair of flat boots to make it more daytime appropriate too. Something like Claudia’s velvet blazer would be amazing thrown over a midi dress or with a satin skirt, though she and M&S styled it with matching Jaeger velvet trousers. This created such a chic co-ord that was a contemporary take on black tie outfits and had a smart feel without being really formal.

Claudia’s trousers were made from cotton-rich velvet with a straight leg design and had a flat front with a hook and bar fastening. This gave them a sleek effect and they also had handy angled pockets and welt pockets. Like the velvet blazer, these velvet trousers would be stunning worn on their own as well as together as a suit.

The Strictly Come Dancing host wore a plain white shirt with her blazer and trousers which accentuated their smartness and is something many of us will already have in our wardrobe. Alternatively, a cami top, black roll neck or a black blouse would be equally gorgeous with a combination like this.

Claudia Winkleman finished off her look with a pair of black shoes, though black heeled or flat boots would also be amazing and keep you cosy on cold days. This outfit has convinced us that a black velvet blazer is a winter must-have and Claudia’s been spotted wearing several others over the years, including when she hosted the Centrepoint Ultimate Quiz in February 2024, showing how important they are in her own collection.

Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly really are a powerhouse duo when it comes to presenting Strictly Come Dancing each weekend. They always look so glamorous!

Claudia's stylist Sinead McKeefry showed us how slinky black satin can be styled in different ways if you're already thinking about Christmas party outfits, and she also offered viewers the most amazing shopping tip for finding clothes on Amazon. Did you know you could buy designer labels like Burberry and Alexander McQueen from Hardly Ever Worn It at Luxury Stores at Amazon Fashion? I spend my days shopping online for fashion and I certainly didn't!

For Saturday night's show Claudia wore a black satin dress by Victoria Beckham that was pre-loved and sourced via Amazon. The voluminous sleeves are incredibly flattering, and when paired with jewellery by Edge of Ember (a favourite of Kate Middleton) and Tilly Sveaas, it's safe to say I'm well and truly persuaded that black satin is easier to wear than I thought.

Claudia Winkleman’s cosy puffer coat is a staple that we’re eager to pick up ourselves as her winter style never misses the mark.

Many of us will have a season that we simply can’t wait to dress for - whether that’s winter when we want to make the most of our best wool jumpers, or summer when sandals and flowing dresses come into their own. Whether or not you love dressing for winter, though, one thing we all want to be when the temperatures drop is warm. One person who’s no stranger to putting together cosy and chic looks this time of year is Claudia Winkleman. Even her low-key winter outfits exude style and Claudia’s puffer coat has recently caught our eye.

The presenter wore a short puffer coat with black jeans or leggings in a photo shared by her, Vernon Kay and BBC Radio 2 that announced she was spending a week picking her Tracks of My Years with Vernon. It was a simple yet snuggly outfit choice that’s a far cry from the glamour and glitter of her Strictly looks, but was every bit as beautiful. Claudia Winkleman’s puffer coat was the star of the show and had the classic quilting that’s so often seen with this style of outerwear.

The sleeves were puffy and oversized, ending in elasticated cuffs. The coat had a bomber jacket look to it that accentuated its casual feel and it seemed to finish around Claudia’s waist. If you prefer a bit more coverage from your best winter coats then there are also so many puffer coat options out there that fall to knee-length or beyond.

A more cropped puffer coat like Claudia’s is particularly great if you want to wear it - like she did - with skinny jeans or leggings. Styling a more oversized puffy jacket with streamlined trousers can help to balance out your silhouette, although in the autumn and winter months when cosiness and comfort is key, don’t be afraid to wear puffer coats with your favourite wide-leg trousers too as this is also gorgeous.

Claudia Winkleman’s choice of a black puffer coat made it so versatile as the neutral tone would work with any other shades, however she’s long loved an all-black outfit and went for one again in this October photo. Her black skinny jeans or leggings were worn under either a dove-grey knitted tunic or longline jumper.

The presenter then added even more warmth in the form of what appeared to be fingerless gloves or hand warmers. These were a khaki-brown hue and could just be seen poking out from her puffer coat’s cuffs. Claudia wore fingerless gloves a lot when filming The Traitors and so it’s perhaps no surprise to see that she’s putting them to good use again in this chilly weather.

Sadly, her footwear wasn’t visible in this snap but we suspect that she might have worn some of her best black boots to finish off her monochrome outfit. With this look Claudia proved how brilliant she is at dressing more casually and cosily at this time of year and demonstrated how whilst a puffer coat is a practical item, it can also look so chic with minimal styling fuss.

Claudia Winkleman's bold shirt was way ahead of this year's huge leopard print resurgence and it’s the perfect statement item.

The leopard print trend has been everywhere this year and as trends go, it’s one of the most timeless as it comes back year after year. Because of this, many of us will already have a leopard print item in our wardrobes that we’ve had for quite a while, whether it’s a pair of leopard print shoes or one of our best wool jumpers in this pattern. The same is true for Claudia Winkleman and whether or not she still reaches for it, her leopard print shirt from 2016 was ahead of the 2024 trend. The TV star attended the The Serpentine Summer Party co-hosted by Tommy Hilfiger that year in an outfit that would also be a stunning look for an autumnal evening out.

She wore a longline leopard print shirt with black trousers and fun metallic court shoe heels and the warm undertones of the pattern tied in with her shoes brilliantly. The shirt itself fell to just below her waist with a high-low hem and long, cuffed sleeves.

Although it had appeared to have a collar, Claudia put her own playful twist on this classic detail with the addition of a polka dot neck scarf. It’s possible that this scarf could’ve been part of the blouse’s design as an undone pussybow detail, but it looks to have been draped around her neck separately. Either way, the contrasting polka dot and leopard print patterns was a fun touch and even though both are so different, the neutral colour palette of the scarf and shirt meant they worked together.

For those wondering how to style leopard print, the tone of the pattern is an important factor. Leopard prints can range from having warm golds, browns and ambers in them, to being very cool-toned or even being just black and white. Claudia’s leopard print over shirt had a warm chestnut brown shade on it, as well as the black rosettes and creamy yellow background hue.

This meant it was a lovely balance between cool and warm tones and as a result was very versatile and easy to style with plenty of different colours. However, as we all know, Claudia Winkleman particularly loves wearing darker tones and for the Serpentine Summer Party she paired her shirt with black ankle grazer trousers.

The smart tailored design helped to balance out the boldness of her shirt and she finished off her outfit with a pair of sensational gold Gucci shoes. They were a cross between a loafer and court shoe and were made that bit more statement thanks to the bright metallic colour, the GG branding and the high-up tongue of the shoes.

This was a stand-out yet still very easy-to-wear look from Claudia and she showed how easily leopard print can work for a more formal event too. If you want to follow in her footsteps and wear leopard print for an evening out or special occasion this season then a shirt is a lovely piece to do it with and you can layer knitwear and outerwear over the top for warmth whilst you’re travelling to and fro.

Alternatively, why not try out a leopard print skirt or a bag? These can be worn with more neutral items and won’t be as full-on as a leopard print dress or coat might be.

Claudia Winkleman's long camel coat on Channel 4’s The Piano has got us thinking about next winter before summer's arrived.

The lighter days will have got many people putting together their spring capsule wardrobe and officially packing away their cosiest coats ready for next winter. However, that doesn’t mean that certain spectacular coats can’t still catch your eye and Claudia Winkleman’s gorgeous camel coat on The Piano is giving us serious inspiration. Summer might not have happened yet, but her outerwear is the winter coat of dreams and it was showcased in the recent trailer clip for season 2 of Channel 4’s The Piano that Claudia herself shared on her Instagram.

In it fans have been treated to not only a sneak peek of what’s to come when the music-focused reality show returns on 28th April, but of Claudia wearing a cosy camel coat with a fabulous longline cut.

It had a smart lapel collar that enhanced the formal tailored design and in different scenes in the trailer Claudia wore hers both over a jumper and draped over her shoulders. The coat appeared to have buttons down the double-breasted front and angled pockets that Claudia had her hands in at the beginning of the trailer.

Sadly, despite the beauty of this coat it’s not clear exactly where it’s from, though it does have a style reminiscent of Max Mara. One fan even commented asking whether it was from the brand and Max Mara are known for their stunning wool coats, many of them in a very similar soft camel-brown hue and tailored design. 

Get Claudia Winkleman's Max Mara-Style Coat Look

They currently have plenty of similar designs including their £2,700 Icon Coat and their £890 double-breasted wool coat, both in a stunning camel. Whether or not Claudia’s coat is another design from Max Mara isn’t clear, but regardless it has the chic feel of some of the brand’s outerwear pieces. 

Although the warmer weather has been edging closer, there are still options on the high street that can help you get the look of Claudia Winkleman’s Max Mara-style coat from The Piano. Many of them are understandably on sale as spring continues so there might never be a better time to invest in your dream camel coat for next winter.

Claudia wore hers with a classic jumper and trousers on The Piano, which sees amateur musicians playing pianos at train stations unaware that their efforts are being judged by pianist Lang Lang and pop singer Mika. This isn’t the first time in recent months that the TV host’s wardrobe has been catching people’s attention alongside a show.

Who could forget the exquisite styling of Claudia Winkleman’s The Traitors outfits? Fans were tuning in just as much to see what she was wearing as they were for all the twists, turns and betrayals in the hit BBC show. During season 2, everything from Claudia Winkleman’s wellies to her cable knit jumper had viewers wanting to emulate her traditional, cosy looks which were courtesy of stylist Sinead McKeefry.

Speaking previously to woman&home, Sinead revealed her vision for Claudia’s wardrobe for The Traitors season 3 and it seems her clothes could get more gothic next series.

"I’d like to go a little more gothic next season,"she said. "And that’s probably my initial reaction to having such a fabulous knitwear series. And really showcasing that."

"I’d also like to do a deep dive into something slightly more theatrical, although I don’t want it to ever look like that," Sinead went on to add. "But I like elements of it, like wearing lace in the daytime, with a chunky knit, let’s say."

Claudia Winkleman’s fake tan removal trick is something that many of us won’t ever have considered.

With the cold weather here to stay for the foreseeable future the last thing on many people’s minds in winter might be their fake tan routine. However, this could all have changed since discovering where to watch The Traitors UK as host Claudia Winkleman has been giving us fake tan envy with her gorgeous glow throughout season 2. Her method for removing her fabulous tan, though, is something that’s a little unconventional to say the least. 

Claudia Winkleman’s fake tan removal trick involves none other than table salt - as she revealed during a very memorable appearance on the New Year episode of The Graham Norton Show. 

According to Metro, The Traitors star explained that her fake tan mantra is simply, “there is no such thing as too orange” and added that a scourer and salt are her products of choice for getting rid of her fake tan. 

"‘I love being orange but to scrub it off, I use table salt and a scourer,” she apparently declared, before confessing, “I have asked my husband to do it, but it’s not good for foreplay."

When it comes to viewing her fake fan work at home, though, she added hilariously, “And, as I don’t have mirrors in my house, I have no idea what I look like!” Claudia also shared that during her time at university she “hired a sunbed” and was “fluorescent”.

Of course, Claudia Winkleman’s fake tan removal trick is admittedly quite bizarre and when it comes to knowing how to remove fake tan Aleesha Badkar, Beauty Editor of womanandhome warns against being too "abrasive".

"I would say if you're trying to correct fake tan just be wary of how you're treating your skin. Definitely don't be too abrasive (as there is often a temptation to be when trying to weaken fake tan) and scrutinise any ingredients you're using - no checking is too much," she said.

Aleesha added, "There are lots of so-called solutions floating around out there, so try and go for a tried-and-tested product or method that has plenty of good backing and reviews behind it - just make sure you're paying attention to skin type when weighing up other people's experiences too. And more than anything, keep in mind that your most realistic (and healthy) aim will be to fade the colour, rather than to get rid of it completely."

Shop Fake Tan Removal Products

Ways to remove fake tan with products include using baby oil or body oil, with Michaella Bolder, St. Tropez Tanning and Skincare Expert previously explaining to womanandhome how this really works.

“Baby oil is known to soften and soothe the skin, but also as an oil, it stimulates cell turnover and is, therefore, a great option to remove fake tan,” Michaella said. “Make sure to soak the skin in baby oil for around five to 10 minutes, then jump in the shower and rinse off, using an exfoliating glove or mitt to help.”

Many people might also prefer to steer clear of Claudia Winkleman’s fake tan removal trick and choose specific fake tan remover products instead. Michaella believes the St Tropez Tan Remove Mousse to be particularly good and easy to use. 

“This is a great one that you can massage into the area that has overloaded self-tan, and wait 5 minutes before buffing with a tan remover mitt to buff the tan away,” she said.

However you choose to remove your fake tan, it’s all-too easy to find yourself wanting to feel brilliantly bronzed yourself after seeing Claudia on The Traitors season 2.

Claudia Winkleman's wellies from The Traitors are a fabulous and practical investment for wet weather days.

Practical footwear really comes into its own in the colder months when everyone pulls out their best wellies. Given the UK weather is often rainy all year round, there’s nothing quite like a classic pair of Wellington Boots to keep you dry at all times. When it comes to wellies, The Traitors host Claudia Winkleman has shown she's a big fan, and she seems to have a preference for a particular brand.

Many viewers have been left in awe of Claudia Winkleman’s Traitors outfits since season 2 started, and this time, her wellies are the £120 Hunter Original Tall Wellington Boots. They are on the luxury side price-wise, however, they’re a great blend of practicality and style.  

They’re a classic style for the brand and come in a range of colours, although Claudia’s black ones are especially versatile and easy to pair with so many outfit options. The Hunter Original boots are crafted from natural rubber and constructed from no fewer than 28 hand-cut parts. These are assembled over three days and are then vulcanised for "superior protection" against the elements - a key factor in any Wellington Boot purchase.

Shop Claudia Winkleman's wellies from The Traitors

Claudia Winkleman’s wellies have the Hunter Original treat pattern and a polyester lining for comfort too. She wore her black pair with a pair of black leggings tucked in and a bold fiery red jumper. The oversized knit jumper added vibrancy to her look and mirrored the texture of her equally large-knit khaki scarf. The boots were the perfect choice for venturing into the woods for the challenge in episode 9 and choosing the same colour as her leggings helped to elongate her legs.

This is a styling choice that we’ve seen at other times with Claudia Winkleman’s wellies in The Traitors. Anyone who’s already bought their pick of the best black boots but is eyeing up a pair of Hunter wellies might be tempted by the olive green version. 

Claudia wore green boots that look very much like the hunter green version of the Hunter Original Tall wellies in episode 10. Whether or not these are the exact ones worn by Claudia, the hunter green wellies from Hunter are a classic earthy shade and have all the sleek style and practical details of the black ones.

If you’d rather not to invest in quite such a luxurious pair of wellies, though, there are so many more affordable options out there, whether you’d like black, green or a bolder colour. Claudia Winkleman’s wellies are tall but you can also get a reasonable amount of rain protection from shorter wellies if you’d prefer.

The Traitors host has worn hers when venturing in the great outdoors during the challenges, which often see her and the contestants walking across fields, through woodland and near rivers. They’ve stood up against the elements and with two more episodes to go before The Traitors season 2 draws to an end it’s possible that fans will get another glimpse of these iconic boots.
