Claudia Winkleman's outfits on The Celebrity Traitors: How to shop all of her looks (and the lookalikes)
Claudia Winkleman is styled by fashion stylist Sinead McKeefry for The Traitors and Claudia's looks can often kickstart a fashion trend - the power of great styling!
If you're sad The Celebrity Traitors is coming to an end, you're not alone. We're all bereft at HELLO! HQ. If you're anything like us, you've probably been obsessed with Claudia Winkleman and the amazing outfits she has worn throughout the entire series.
No one makes you want to go shopping quite like Claudia. Granted, on Strictly Come Dancing she's all about the sequins, sparkle and stilettos, but on The Traitors, she makes us want to shop for a wardrobe of knitwear, chunky boots and of course, red fingerless gloves. I'm now also quite tempted by red tartan now - just me?
While I've loved the drama with all the celebrities, including the scrupulous antics from Alan Carr, the water cooler chat hasn't just been about who betrayed who - it's who Claudia Winkleman is wearing. Claudia's perfect wardrobe in the Scottish Highlands has now become somewhat iconic.
Claudia's style rules on The Traitors
The aesthetic is moody, gothic, even a little theatrical: think cloaks, capes, dramatic boots, and key accessories like red fingerless gloves and a “murder cloak.” Claudia often prioritises warmth and comfort, while still looking fabulous. In an interview with Vogue, Claudia said: "I’ve gone a bit Sarah Brightman... Our base for Traitors is always Ronnie Corbett meets Princess Anne meets that phase when Madonna suddenly found the countryside through Guy Ritchie. Do you remember that? 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. It’s very specific."
Behind every great woman is another great woman, and Claudia is back working with her longtime stylist, Sinead McKeefry. Sinead and Claudia have worked together for years, and no one knows what Claudia would or wouldn't wear quite like Sinead.
For The Traitors, it's all about the country aesthetic, but with a touch of grunge. There are designer pieces as well as high-street must-haves. Mixing high-low, Claudia can wear Comme des Garçons and Burberry with ME+EM and Zara.
As it's chilly in Scotland, you'll likely find lots of chunky knits and gorgeous cashmere, and her coat game is always so strong. For Celebrity Traitors, we've seen military coats and cape coats, teamed with knee-high boots and of course, those red fingerless gloves.
Boy does she know how to make an entrance. This shaggy cream top is the Isabel Marant Moka sweater, that's sadly no longer in stock. Though the jacket version is, but don't delay if you want it in your mitts.
If your budget isn't quite designer, I adore this New Look shaggy coat, which is giving off serious cool-girl vibes.
Oh, what I wouldn't give to own this Valentino embellished sweater vest, as seen on Claudia during Celebrity Traitors. It's just so fun, but also bad ass - just like Claudia.
It's near-impossible to find a lookalike but I'm tempted to share with you this short-sleeved knit that's new-in at Marks & Spencer. It's the M&S x 16Arlington embellished roll neck.
If that's not the one, a subtle approach would be this Gini London sweater vest - it's not as 'extra' as Claudia's but it is fabulous none the less.
I am totally jumping on the plaid shirt bandwagon now after seeing this photo of Claudia Winkleman wearing a black and white plaid shirt on Celebrity Traitors.
If you're on the hunt for a chunky black tank sweater to wear over the top in a similar fashion, how about this one from NEXT for just £35? I think it's perfect.
Claudia's black lace dress
Claudia has a longstanding love affair with Nadine Merabi, often wearing the designer on Strictly Come Dancing. For Celebrity Traitors, she wore the black 'Lydia' dress which she teamed with her tough chunky black boots and tights.
Burberry was the designer of choice for this look on The Celebrity Traitors. Her exact check skirt is sadly out of stock, but you could opt for the traditional check skirt to get a similar look. If you're keen to try the trend, this Next skirt/kilt is so chic.
Made in Italy from a premium velvet cloth, this dusky blue blazer features contrast satin black trims, and a removable belt (Claudia opted for no belt). If you're looking to follow suit, I love this Next blazer which looks super luxe, and this bright purple tux blazer from Hobbs.
It's a Simone Rocha look and wow, what a showstopper. From the tutu skirt to the tinsel knit, this is a real wow-worthy screen moment. If you're looking for a lookalike, wait until you seen this masterpiece from Simply Be via NEXT.
Sadly, Claudia's exact Simone Rocha tulle skirt is no longer available, but I've found an amazing lookalike which is super stylish. Let me introduce you to this beauty from ASOS.
Chloé is the designer of choice for episode one of Celebrity Traitors, and just look how gorgeous this herringbone wool coat is. Want! Sadly it's all sold out, but I have managed to find this super similar one from Ralph Lauren. If you're looking for something a little more affordable you might want to take a look at this Massimo Dutti funnel neck coat? So chic.
This show wouldn't be complete without seeing Claudia wearing a black velvet blazer, and on episode one of Celebrity Traitors, it's a phenomenal one. Claudia has teamed hers with black leggings (she loves the Spanx black seamless leggings!) and a pair of Givenchy Shark Lock Buckles 60 leather knee-high boots, which have since sold out. The newer ones can be found online for £1,850.

Claudia's lesson in making leggings stylish
No need to write-off leggings as decidedly un-chic. In episode three, Claudia proved all you need is a classic black blazer (hers is Jigsaw) and a sheer lace ruffle shirt by Vampire's Wife (similar here from Boden) to combine comfort and style. Her leggings are of course a luxe pair, by Spanx, and she completed the look with ultra cool Bottega Veneta boots.
I'm going to say it, this shouldn't work, but it does. Claudia wore a Sandro velvet lace trimmed jumpsuit with a pair of masculine YSL black and white loafers showing that she can also do dressy and still feel comfortable.
Claudia Winkleman and florals usually don't mix when it comes to her Traitors wardrobe, but this isn't just any floral blazer - it's a black floral blazer. The jacket of choice is from The Kooples.
I've managed to track down Claudia's beautiful monochrome black and white cardigan featuring cute bows on the pocket. Her exact knit is by Self Portrait and this one is very similar.
My mission? To find the best lookalike for you. Never Fully Dressed bow cardigan is not totally the same, but it features black and white and has bow detailing on there. But I also love this New Look cardigan for a similar vibe for less.
Claudia Winkleman's beanie hat game is so strong, and don't get us started on the fingerless cashmere gloves as well. She makes looking warm look so chic. Word has it, Brora is the brand of choice for her stylist Sinead.
Claudia might look like she's wearing a lace maxi skirt, but in fact she's wearing an evening gown. Yep, underneath that Brora knit, you'll find a Costarellos dress which you can easily copy for a fraction of the price with this Next tulle maxi skirt. The coat is Bella Freud (a sale buy!) and the boots are her trusty Hunter boots. I love this look.
Claudia's stylist Sinead was inundated with requests about the light grey coat, which happens to be from The Landskein, a luxury brand committed to its Irish roots.
Claudia rocked one of Princess Kate's favourite brands - Emilia Wickstead. The TV host could be seen in the Penn knitted top created from a cashmere-esque yarn, she teamed it with the matching trousers.
This could well be the easiest outfit to copy of Claudia's looks so far. If you're wondering where her grey check shacket is from, it's Johnstons of Elgin - a Scottish brand renowned for quality cashmere.
If this is out of your price range, I've found this COS check shirt in its winter sale and it's a spot-on lookalike.
Sinead styled Claudia in the most dramatic - no, iconic - faux fur coat by Raey Official. Copy the look at a fraction of the price thanks to River Island's yeti-style coat. Go on, I dare you!
Connolly is a very special 140-year-old British brand, founded in 1878 as a small family business of saddlers and shoe-smiths. The brand is famous with its clients, but now it has been thrown into the limelight thanks to Claudia on The Traitors.
Claudia Winkleman wore a beautiful blazer in the first episode of season three. The brown herringbone blazer was layered over a sleek black turtleneck, making it an easy look to emulate. And do you want to know the best bit? The fingerless gloves were back.
Claudia wore the Bella Freud tailored highlands jacket. The Saint James jacket is a wardrobe essential that you’ll keep coming back to for years to come.
Boots are Claudia's obsession - you can just tell. Her suede ankle boots look like they might be the Saint Laurent Theo 95 suede ankle boots, £880. Made from plush black suede, with 95mm tapered block heels. They'll go with lots of pieces in your wardrobe, but if you're looking for a more affordable pair, I've found a pair on H&M, on sale for £37.99. Bargain!
We knew the fashion was going to be top tier when this teaser image was released for season 3. Claudia's ruffle sleeved blouse complete with black corsage was from Sister Jane, and has sadly since sold out. There is a newer version that's very similar but order fast because once it's gone, it's gone.
Claudia Winkleman's red fingerless gloves are BACK for Celebrity Traitors
A show producer told HELLO!: "You have to have a murder outfit. We take it incredibly seriously, possibly too seriously. We found some pleather gloves from Amazon, and we went with those. I like them!"
Sinead said in an interview with Marie Claire: "That's not just something that I invented last year. I mean, obviously I'm a huge Madonna fan. I've also been a long-time fan of the Fagin look from Oliver Twist and Claudia's always worn, not fingerless gloves, but wrist warmers and over the years has bought us them as presents. At the end of Strictly, we will all buy each other gifts after the series is finished. And one year bought the whole team fingerless gloves. So that's kind of been her thing."
