As The Celebrity Traitors cast settle in for their stay at the castle, we're as excited to tune in for Claudia Winkleman and her amazing outfits as we are the duplicity and drama that's bound to unfold.

No one makes you want to go shopping quite like Claudia. She makes us want to shop for a whole new wardrobe of knitwear, chunky boots and of course, fingerless gloves. I'm now also quite tempted by tartan thanks to Claudia - or is that just me?

While we wait for the drama to unfold among the all-star cast (from Maya Jama to Jerry Hall, Miranda Hart and Joe Lycett), Claudia's wardrobe in the Scottish Highlands will no doubt become iconic. It always does, and from the looks so far, this year is bound to follow suit.

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 statement fingerless gloves and a “murder cloak.” 

The show's executive producer Sarah Fay revealed at a press junket: “Claudia is not allowed jewellery when we do the Traitors pick. We’re very strict on that, in case it jangles.” Which makes sense why Claudia prioritises OTT silhouettes, accented details and standout accessories.

Who is Claudia Winkleman's stylist? 

Claudia is working once again with her long time stylist, Sinead McKeefry. Sinead and Claudia have worked together for years, and her fashion was such a hit on the previous The Celebrity Traitors its no surprise they're working together again. Sinead has even worked with FatFace on an autumnal edit, with plenty of Traitors-inspired looks and pieces.

For Celebrity Traitors season 2, the heritage chic with a touch of gothic and grunge look that Claudia wore in past seasons has been dialled up a notch. Pieces are exaggerated, from an OTT ruffled white blouse to floor-skimming coat, tartan in new, unexpected ways and menswear pieces - plus throw in plenty of tactile fabrics like velvet and leather and Claudia's faithful Bottega Veneta Lug Boots.

As it's chilly in Scotland, where the castle is, you'll likely find lots of chunky knits and gorgeous cashmere. Claudia's coat game is always so strong on the show. For last year's Celebrity Traitors, we saw military coats and cape coats, teamed with knee-high boots and of course, those red fingerless gloves. And for this year, brands worn include McQueen, Holland Cooper and Cos, mixing designer brands with premium luxury stores.

Who else is in Claudia Winkleman's glam team?

Claudia's hair stylist is Sarah Taylor, and her makeup artist is Lucy Gibson.

Claudia's Red Fingerless Gloves

This is peak Claudia! Dramatic cape coat? Check. Fingerless red gloves? Check and check.

Claudia's stylist turned to Amazon for the gloves originally, and I like to think its these £30 gloves.

And we can safely say black wool cape coats are back for AW26 (thanks to Claudia) - hers could be the Holland Cooper Knightsbridge Cape or Coast's Belted Cape Coat is a close match.

Claudia's Tartan Skirt & Trousers

Claudia starts off strong with this iconic look - a tartan skirt over trousers. The tartan is vintage Vivienne Westwood, which she's teamed with the Brora Wool Bomber Jacket, in delicious chocolate brown and some Brora Cashmere Wristwarmers.

For a lookalike of Claud's jacket, head to M&S and for those incredible trousers, Boden's Belgravia Wool Trousers are a great alternative.

Claudia's Ruffle Blouse

A signature look of Claudia's that's been prevalent throughout all of The Traitors is wearing leggings with a blazer - it's such an easy look to copy but looks so pulled together.

I suspect she's wearing her go-to SPANX Scuba Leggings for this one; I'm really impressed with The Shirt Company's version of Claudia's Comme Des Garcons blouse, with a strong ruffle front and frilled cuffs, and House of Bruar has a slightly more subdued version.

Add this M&S black blazer worn oversize for a reasonably priced way to copy Claudia's look.

Claudia's Knitted Jacquard Tank & Skirt

British knitwear designer Genevieve Sweeney said she was "honoured" that Claudia wore her Lin Sparkly Lambswool Jacquard Knitted Vest in the promo shots for the new series.

Worn with a jacquard full skirt and layered over a classic white shirt, this is iconic Claudia at its best.

Honestly, this Karen Millen Jacquard skirt is so like Claudia's!

Claudia's Cosy Tank & Kilt

In the first look of this new season, Claudia spoiled us by sticking to what she knows best; a chunky knit from Brora, layered over a white shirt worn with a Le Kilt Boucle Kilt (Karen Millen's Tartan Wrap Midi or the Boden Pleated Midi Kilt  are incredible lookalikes) and past season Hambro and Miller cosy wrist warmers - Brora do a stunning range just like Claudia's.

A show producer previously 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."

Claudia Winkleman's Traitors outfits 2026

As we wait for the new series to reveal more of Claudia’s wardrobe, here is a look back at her standout looks from The Traitors vault.

The finale teal tank

On the final episode of The Traitors, Claudia's opted for colour - a gorgeous teal sleeveless tank top which she's worn with a white shirt underneath. 

If I had to guess, I would predict that this is a House of Bruar knitted tank from the men's section - Claudia has worn this brand before so it would make perfect sense. 

The leggings, well, they'd have to be the Spanx Scuba Leggings, as those are Claudia's faves according to her stylist. 

If you're after a navy coat, I think House of Bruar's navy double breasted design looks very similar.

Claudia's breakfast attire

Claudia's stylist Sinead broke down this entire look and it consists of an LK Bennett pink blouse under a James Purdey & Sons knit. The jeans are also by James Purdey & Sons and the boots are Miu Miu. Her signet rings is by Hamilton & Inches and the coat (not pictured) is by Connolly London. 

If you're looking to copy the look, this New Look jumper is so spot on. I've tracked down a very similar pair of boots from Boohoo - squint and they could be her designer pair.

That fair isle knit

This might be one of my favourite outfits on this year's Traitors - it's just so easy to copy. 

Claudia's styled in the Hambro & Miller knit with Chloe trousers and Alexander McQueen shoes. During the mission she added a Chloe coat, Brora wrist warmers and switched to a pair of Hunter boots. 

Cos has a great lookalike of Claudia's jumper, and if you're after the designer trousers, Reiss has an almost identical pair. Head to Free People if you're looking for a cheaper alternative to the Chloe coat.

Claudia's cream duffle coat

Claudia's cream hooded duffle coat is the stuff of dreams - I expect it's a Burberry find - but I've found a great lookalike on LaRedoute. If it's Burberry you're after, Flannels has a short check version. 

The duck-covered jumper is also from Burberry, the trousers could also be Burberry but they look very similar to the Lee Matthews pair via the FarFetch website. 

If you're after a lookalike, try this pair from Fruugo. And for the jumper, I've found this incredible one from Next.

Take a bow... Claudia's Duke + Dexter loafers

The loafers were the talking point on this episode of The Traitors. The whole look in incredible - but of course - but it's the Duke + Dexter monochrome loafers were amazing. One says 'traitor' the other says 'faithful' - genius. The big cosy sweater she's wearing is from COS and the trousers are Me+Em.

Claudia's green check coat and white beanie

Oh, I spy a brand new coat for Claudia in this episode. It looks like she's wearing the Brora 'Harris' tweed coat in forest green which you can also buy on John Lewis. This coat is woven in the Scottish Outer Hebrides using authentic Harris Tweed cloth, then tailored to perfection in the brand's London atelier. It would appear she's wearing a white beanie hat from the same brand. 

I'm not entirely sure where the blush pink tulle skirt is from but it does look very similar to the royal-loved brand Needle & Thread and the 'Hattie' skirt.

If you're after a more reasonably priced alternative, ASOS has a gorgeous green coat in stock for less than £100, Wolf & Badger has a skirt that looks very similar and as for the wooly hat, how about good ol' Uniqlo.

Claudia's great grey suit

Ok, this might be my favourite look of The Traitors 2026 so far - actually I've probably said that five times since the show aired. Claudia Winkleman just looks so amazing every time she appears on screen. This grey suit is just so elite, and this ensemble is by Brunello Cucinelli - a brand lots of celebrities wear. The trousers are pretty much sold out though, sadly. 

Looking for a lookalike? Join the club. I'd say this Topshop style is fairly similar, but this Next suit is probably my top pick.

Claudia's Zara ensemble & brown coat

Claudia wears Zara shocker. Actually, I shouldn't be shocked because Claudia's worn Zara quite a bit in the past but it's always quite exciting when we see her wearing the fashion pack's fave. The look in question is the culottes and the bow blouse. The tank is in fact from Le Kilt, and the brogues are from Grenson - a brand loved by the A-listers. 

As for the brown coat, this one is Brora - a brand known for it's warm essentials and Claudia often wears their pieces on the show. 

This is a tricky outfit to find lookalikes of, but I'll start with the coat. If the Brora one is out of your price range, how about this Mango style? It's new in and I love it. Wallis has a slightly lighter option, as well.

Claudia's smoking jacket

YSL was the designer of choice for this round table look. The blazer is unreal, but finding a decent black velvet jacket post-Christmas is near-impossible. You could try Sosandar via M&S - they had stock the last time I checked. 

The leggings haven't been revealed (but I'm assuming Spanx as they are her stylist's go-to), and the boots are her trusty Bottega boots. I love that she wears the some of the same footwear from previous seasons. 

The shirt might be my favourite thing about this outfit though - it's Commes des Garcons, so it's very fancy but La Redoute has a great one, as does Ro&Zo at Next.

Claudia's kilt

OK, I am obsessed with this look from Claudia on The Traitors. It might be because of her brown knee-high boots from The Row or it could be because of the kilt from Le Kilt, or maybe it's the tank knit from Hambro & Miller which has been a new discovery from Sinead, Claudia's stylist and she's "loving" them. 

If you're looking to copy this look, might I suggest these brown boots from Schuh - I think they're a stellar lookalike and not too pricey either. If you're in the market for a kilt, I love this very similar one from a seller on Etsy for just £65. The tank is a little trickier to find a lookalike of, mainly because it's so printed, but I really rate Next's collection of tank tops - especially this Laura Ashley design.

Claudia pretty in pink and purple

It's rare to see Claudia wearing pink on The Traitors, but I'm not complaining. This pretty pastel LK Bennett London blouse - with its ladylike pearl buttons - is going straight on my 2026 wish list. It's also stocked on the Marks & Spencer website if it's sold out on the main retailer - they don't call it the Winkleman effect for nothing. 

If it's the purple blazer you're loving, you're in luck - it's from Reiss and there are a few left in limited sizes in the sale.

The kilt!

Claudia's back wearing kilts, and if you're yet to brave one - let The Traitors host inspire you for 2026. I love this denim-look one from Next and this check design by Superdry.

After a black cropped pea coat after seeing Claudia in her lovely outerwear? Me too! I've got my eye on this & Other Stories pea coat which is ever so similar - and it's on sale. Karen Millen has a bargain lookalike with 50% off a black wool coat that's near-identical.

Claudia's first episode of The Traitors

Ahhh! She's back, everyone. And boy have we missed her and her Traitors wardrobe. She's back looking better than ever, and this outfit is ever so stylish. The shirt is from a boutique called Through The Trees, but I've found a near-identical one from LilySilk. Claudia's waistcoat is Cordings of Piccadilly, and the trousers are Reiss and the gorgeous green boots are by Givenchy. The closest boot-alike I can find is this pair from Jones the Bootmaker - and they're on sale. 

Jewellery-wise, she's wearing a £9,600 'Faithful' bangle by Pragnell and a T-engraved signet ring by Hamilton & Inches. It's easy to get the look for less - I've found this bangle at Monica Vinader that has complimentary engraving available. As for the ring, I'm impressed by this £56 signet ring at Abbott Lyon - and you can even add your birthstone to it, as well. 

The Celebrity Traitors outfits season 1

Claudia's finale outfit

Talk about drama! Claudia Winkleman's finale outfit consisted of this ruffled pinstripe menswear blazer by Comme des Garçons which she wore with her trusty Spanx leggings and a white cotton oversized shirt. 

If you're after the look for less, I'm very impressed with this navy pinstripe 'boyfriend blazer' by Superdry via Marks & Spencer.

Claudia's shaggy cream top

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.

Wear with a pair of Spanx leggings, just like Claudia.

Claudia's embellished sweater vest

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.

Claudia is also wearing her fave Spanx leggings.

Claudia's green coat

For the challenge, Claudia added a YSL khaki green wool coat into the mix and instantly made this M&S coat sell out because of how similar it looks. If you're still on the hunt, try this ASOS coat, or this House of Bruar design, or this bargain from LaRedoute which is very similar.

Claudia's check plaid shirt

I am totally jumping on the plaid shirt bandwagon now after seeing Claudia Winkleman wearing a black and white plaid shirt on Celebrity Traitors. 

I think I'll be purchasing the PLT plaid shirt in black and white check - it's only £17 and you can't go wrong with that. 

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 £13? 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.  

The Traitors and chunky boots go hand-in-hand - I love this pair from ASOS.

Claudia's Burberry look

Burberry was the designer of choice for this look on The Celebrity Traitors. Her exact check skirt is selling fast, though you could opt for the traditional check skirt to get a similar look. If you're keen to try the trend, this Phase Eight skirt is so chic.

If it's the polo neck you love, I think you'll be smitten with this light brown Reiss jumper.

Claudia's boots are new in her collection, but I absolutely love this New Look pair for just £43.99.

Claudia's trench coat

Oh wow, this Burberry trench coat - absolutely beautiful. This is such a classic wardrobe must-have, and cost-per-wear will be a matter of pennies. 

If your budget doesn't quite stretch to Burberry, you could try this Abercrombie one for £100.

Oh, and if you spy the red knitted gloves, these are from Brora - a brand that's regularly used in Claudia's Traitors wardrobe.

Claudia's Prada skirt moment

In a recent interview with HELLO!, Claudia's stylist Sinead told us to be prepared for a "Prada moment" and this might well be it. The 53-year-old Traitors host looked so chic wearing a Prada skirt and a Prada studded belt, along with a Johnstons of Elgin aran cable knit tank top. She completed the look with chunky Bottega boots. Oh, and we can't forget the adorable wrist warmers from Hambro & Miller. 

If you love Claudia's brown coat from Zara, this one from New Look is a perfect lookalike.

The divine dusky blue velvet blazer

For the round table, Claudia wore the Paul Smith dusky blue velvet belted blazer with her Spanx leggings. 

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 bright purple tux blazer from Hobbs.

The mesh skirt

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 Tory Burch. 

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.

Claudia's red tartan trousers

Who knew I'd be in the market for a pair of red tartan trousers, but here we are. Just call it the Claudia Winkleman effect. I've found some that could pass off as Claudia's red tartan trews! I am obsessed with this pair from a Scottish brand called The House of Bruar. This wide fit pair from Cupshe are pretty fantastic. 

If it's the jacket you love, you could try the Mango oversized black wool jacket, and team with a pair of chunky boots like this pair from ASOS.

The funeral ootd

Claudia's 'funeral' aesthetic is full on goth woman in mourning. With her Alexander McQueen frilly blouse with OTT sleeves, the black veil and the gorgeous black coat (also from Alexander McQueen), this is one unforgettable look. Noughts and Kisses has the BEST lookalike I've ever seen. Also note the turtleneck from COS underneath the low cut blouse. This M&S one is a good dupe.

Claudia just makes the Brora wrist warmers look like the must-have for the season - and they come in various colours.

Claudia Winkleman's Chloe Moment

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 Nili Notan. If you're looking for something a little more affordable you might want to take a look at this Cider coat? So chic.

Ok, hands up if you want a cape coat? I certainly do after seeing Claudia in her one. Luckily, Karen Millen just dropped a gorgeous one online with 40% off. 

Red gloves, optional.
