Claudia Winkleman’s Traitors Outfits are Seriously Chic—Here’s What to Shop

Few shows have gripped me quite like The Traitors. The tension, the strategy, the drama—it’s addictive, to say the least. But for fashion enthusiasts (hi!), there’s a second storyline unfolding not-so-quietly in the background: Claudia Winkleman’s Traitors outfits. Her sweeping coats, polished knitwear and razor-sharp tailoring have become as iconic as her fringe, setting the mood for the show while sparking a flurry of outfit searches after every episode.

This season marks the first Celebrity Traitors, launching on Wednesday, October 8, and Winkleman wasted no time setting the tone. Her opening look for the first promo shots—a checked Polo Ralph Lauren suit—couldn’t feel more on-trend. With its heritage-inspired print and precise cut, it strikes the perfect balance of Highland drama and Scottish castle chic: theatrical yet entirely wearable. It’s a styling moment that proves why Claudia’s Traitors wardrobe has become almost as talked about as the plot twists themselves.

While Ralph Lauren may be leading the charge this season, Claudia’s style history on the show points to a refined mix of labels—from the moody tailoring of The Kooples and the effortless polish of ME+EM to the sumptuous knits of Brora Cashmere and the occasional Burberry or Saint Laurent coat. Even Zara and Spanx have made appearances (who can forget her popular Spanx leggings?), showcasing her and longtime stylist Sinead McKeefry’s talent for blending high-low pieces in a way that always feels intentional. It’s a formula that balances drama with practicality, creating outfits that feel as at home in a Scottish castle as they do in everyday life.

The fashion direction here is never incidental. Every look is carefully chosen to heighten the tension—from inky palettes and dramatic silhouettes to those heritage checks that nod to the gothic grandeur of the setting. Below, you’ll find a breakdown of Claudia Winkleman’s best Traitors outfits so far—and exactly how to re-create them.
