The Traitors is back, people! If there's a way to make the January blues vanish, it's the backstabbing antics on The Traitors, as well as Claudia Winkleman serving up some amazing looks.
No one makes you want to go shopping quite like Claudia - before Christmas it was all about the sequins, sparkle and velvet thanks to her Strictly Come Dancing wardrobe, and now, because of The Traitors, she makes us want to shop for a wardrobe of tweed, chunky jumpers, chunky boots and of course, fingerless gloves.
Series three is now underway and as we enjoy fake welsh accents and juicy cliffhangers, one thing we enjoy the most is Claudia Winkleman's style. Set in the Scottish Highlands, Claudia often prioritises warmth and comfort, while still looking fabulous.
Who is Claudia Winkleman's stylist?
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 Loewe and Burberry with ME+EM and Zara.
As it's chilly in Scotland, you'll find lots of chunky knits and gorgeous cashmere, and her coat game is always so strong. For 2025, we can expect maxi coats and cape coats, teamed with chunky ankle boots and of course, a pair of trusty Hunter wellies.
Claudia Winkleman's The Traitors outfits in series 3
Claudia's velvet jumpsuit and loafers
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.
I'm going to disappoint you here - finding this Knatch Bull blazer - or a lookalike - has proven tricky. But if you're in the market for a smart trim blazer, I do love this Reiss one that I spotted in the January sales.
In this snap, Claudia is wearing a Zara blouse, leggings (no doubt her trusty Spanx ones) and her go-to Bottega boots.
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.
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 Schuh, on sale for £35.99. Bargain!
Claudia's Chic Velvet Blazer & White Shirt Combo
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.
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) 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.
Claudia Winkleman's fingerless gloves: The story behind them
Sinead said in a recent 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."
For the first episode of Series 3, 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!"
