After months of speculation and waiting, Celebrity Traitors is nearing its end. If you’ve cleared your Wednesday and Thursday evenings to watch the A-list edition engaged in castle skulduggery, you’re probably as obsessed with host Claudia Winkleman's outfits.
The presenter, famous for her heavy eyeliner and bold fringe, has worn a series of elegant grunge looks that feel perfect for autumn and winter, alongside the Highlands setting in which the series is set.
As we've reported, in previous series of Traitors, stylist Sinead McKeefry has been the mastermind behind Winkleman's looks, opting for luxe labels such as Polo Ralph Lauren, Burberry and Bella Freud along with a flurry of high street brands. Capes, tall boots, chunky knits and form-fitting leggings made up most of Winkleman's uniform before.
But with the likes of Alan Carr, Stephen Fry and Jonathan Ross in the Celebrity edition, Winkleman and McKeefry have had to up the sartorial ante to stand out from the star-strewn crowd. The brief has expanded from “gothica chic” to “punk-rock”.
As we wait for the next round of killer moves and master manipulation between the Faithfuls and the Traitors before the finale, I've rounded up where to buy Winkleman's outfits to date - plus the high street alternatives if your wallet doesn't quite stretch to the hit BBC show's budget.

Claudia Winkleman's outfits from Celebrity Traitors, Episode 8
Valentino Pre-Owned ribbed sequined sweater vest
There's more than a hint of Moira Rose about Winkleman's episode eight outfits, and we're not mad about it. The statement sequinned vest is from Valentino which Claudia wears with a white shirt underneath. A pre-loved version is available in a small size at Farfetch.
Buy now £2438.00, Farfetch
Per Una Bouclé Roll Neck Jumper With Wool
If anyone can make Shaun the Sheep chic, it's the Traitors host. Her outrageous wooly jumper is from Isabel Marant, but is now out of stock. COS has a textured lookalike, but it's only available in large, but M&S has this Per Una roll neck for a similar feel at a great price with plenty of sizes to boot.

Claudia Winkleman's outfits from Celebrity Traitors, Episode 7
Jigsaw Velvet Satin Shawl Blazer
For episode seven's dramatic roundtable, Winkleman brought the theatre in a Reiss velvet blazer. Now out of stock, this Jigsaw version is just as lovely and will pair nicely with leggings if you want to stay true to the Winkleman aesthetic. Available in sizes 6 - 18.
Buy now £279.00, Jigsaw
House of Bruar Ladies Wool Cashmere Double Breasted Coat
Epsiode seven, and another wearable look from Winkleman. This time, the Traitors host wore a pair of black jeans (Holland Cooper is her go-to brand) with Bottega Veneta boots and a knitted vest over a Sandro flannel shirt, which has since sold out. An oversized peacoat from YSL in khaki finished the ensemble.
It's the coat that's caught our attention the most, but since it's unavailable, this deep olive version from favourite brand Bruar is a nice alternative.
Buy now £295.00, House of Bruar
COS Merino wool v-neck vest
Available in black and brown, this is a great piece for layering over shirts a la Winkleman or wearing solo with jeans or a skirt.
Buy now £65.00, COS
SANDRO Checked Rhinestone-Embellished Cotton Shirt
A checked shirt elevated with rhinestones and a contrast collar, this is an easy piece to wear faithfully all winter long.

Nadine Merabi Lydia Black Dress
Another devasting roundtable, another killer outfit from Claud. This time it was a black lacy Nadine Merabi number in the spotlight - and it's still in stock! The perfect LBD for New Year's Eve parties, it also comes in red and white options.
Buy now £395.00, Nadine Merabi
Seasalt Cornwall Day Dream Cord Midi Skirt
Gunning for a Burberry campaign, Winkleman wore this cosy camel-coloured knit with fringed edge detailing and tartan skirt from the luxury brand, finishing the look with boots from Paris Texas - Mint Velvet has a similar pair at ankle length.
Seasalt Cornwall’s skirt alternative follows Burberry’s colour palette of blue and brown at a far more palatable price tag. Plus - pockets!
Buy now £69.95, Seasalt Cornwall
Burberry Long Cashmere Kensington Trench Coat
She later throws on this Burberry trench over the separates for the chessboard scene, which is still available in all sizes (4 - 16). If you’re looking for a more affordable alternative, Jaegar has a wool rich twill version (£255), while Abercrombie & Fitch's offering comes with a self-tie belt (£180).
Buy now £2990.00, Burberry
Claudia Winkleman's outfits from Celebrity Traitors, Episode 5
Paul Smith Women's Dusky Blue Velvet Contrast-Trim Belted Blazer
At the cliffhanger roundtable, Claudia gathered votes decked out in Paul Smith’s dusky blue velvet blazer. The piece, which comes with a tie belt, is cut to a tailored fit and there are plenty of sizes still available online.
Buy now £1200.00, Paul Smith
Massimo Dutti Midi skirt with box pleats
For the morning after breakfast and the next challenge, Winkleman turned to a grey Prada kilt skirt, Cos long sleeve t-shirt, Johnstons of Elgin cable knit vest, and her trusty Bottega boots.
While the kilt is close to selling out, if you’ve got your heart set on a similar design, Massimo Dutti’s box pleat design comes up trumps.
Buy now, Massimo Dutti
Johnstons of Elgin Oversized Aran Light Grey Cable Cashmere Tank
The exact tank Winkleman wore, this cashmere design comes in a run of colours, from pink to navy.
The best part of £600 is a lot to spend on one piece of knitwear, even if it is cashmere. Boden has a merino wool alternative in stock right now, while Seasalt Cornwall’s cable knit option comes in inclusive sizes.
Buy now £595.00, Johnstons of Elgin
Claudia Winkleman's outfits from Celebrity Traitors, Episode 4
AllSaints Arlea Tulle Maxi Skirt
Another celebrity picked off the list meant another opportunity for Winkleman to display her sartorial prowess. The host broke news of the latest banishment to the group dressed head-to-toe in Simone Rocha, a black tulle skirt stealing the spotlight. You can still find it on Mytheresa, but sizes are limited.
Channel the style with Hush's maxi skirt (£120), or pair Allsaints' sheer panelled design with the matching top (£119) to wear under a sparkly knit.
Buy now £199.00, AllSaints
New Look Black Sequin Yarn Crew Neck Jumper
Black jumpers are working overtime in Inverness - Winkleman wore two in episode four, one sparkly, one fluffy. The key here looks to be sparkles more than big sequins, which New Look has nailed in this crew neck. Layer with a long-sleeve tee underneath to stay faithful to Traitors style.
Buy now £22.49, New Look
Boden Stamford Wool-Blend Blazer
The Ralph Lauren tartan suit Winkleman wore at the roundtable is available in the last remaining sizes, but all is not lost if you're after your own Highland fling. Monsoon's collab with Sarah Corbett-Winder delivers plenty of blue and yellow plaid, while Boden is also in on the action with wool designs in blue and red checks. As for the matching trousers? Well, it would be rude not to.
Buy now £199.00, Boden
Claudia Winkleman's outfits from Celebrity Traitors, Episode 3
House of Bruar Ladies Classic Plaid Trousers
Winkleman has been cracking out the tartan on screen recently, wearing a double-breasted plaid suit from Ralph Lauren, and a bold red and black checked design by Alexander McQueen. If you're looking to recreate the look for less, House of Bruar does a range of traditional tartan patterns in pure wool, spanning sizes 10 - 22.
Buy now £139.95, House of Bruar
Abercrombie & Fitch Short Wool-Blend Coat
The short wool Cos coat Winkleman wore in the banshee challenge is now only available in a large, but there are plenty more affordable lookalikes on the high street. The most convincing comes from Abercrombie & Fitch, which is also made from wool and finishes high on the hip.
Buy now £135.00, Abercrombie & Fitch
Claudia Winkleman's outfits from Celebrity Traitors, Episode 2
THE KOOPLES Velvet-Collar Regular-Fit Wool Blazer
If you were as transfixed by Claudia's blood red jacket at the Roundtable as you were by the votes, I have bad news and good news.
First, the bad: her velvet Reiss design has completely sold out. The good? High street stores are packed with lookalikes, from Phase Eight and Whistles to Boden. For a doppleganger, look to The Kooples, which is made from wool but comes with a velvet collar.
Buy now £495.00, Selfridges
ASOS DESIGN bow neck oversized shirt in black
Winkleman wore a black pussybow blouse under the blazer, along with her trusty leggings. Whistles has a sheer version in sizes 4 to 20, but if you want to emulate the look on a budget, head to ASOS where you can pick up this beauty for a total bargain.
Buy now £34.00, ASOS
SPANXshape™ Booty Boost® Full Length Leggings
Winkleman's more casual outfits include a jumper and leggings - the Traitors host is said to favour Spanx's Booty Boost pair, which have tons of stretch and a high waistband. These come in black with sizes ranging from XS - 2XL. Best worn with a theatrical cape coat and shiny two-tone boots, a la Claudia.
Buy now £88.00, Selfridges
GSG SINCE 1998 Red fingerless gloves
Read as much as you like into the meaning behind Winkleman's now signature red gloves - but don't baulk at the price. This pair, available in a range of sizes, come from… Amazon! As confirmed by Winkleman's stylist herself.
Buy now £24.99, Amazon
McQueen White Plissé Ruffle-Neck Blouse
If you've ever wondered how much drama could be packed into a shirt, McQueen's ruffled design offers a masterclass. Queen Claudia wore this very top, paired with a warming layer from COS, showcasing textbook high-low dressing.
Reiss has a similar vibe for those with a tighter budget, priced £158.
Buy now £1330.00, Harrods
COS Merino wool high-neck top
A bit James Bond baddie, maybe, but an extra layer is always welcome when you're this far up north. Winkleman wore this under the ruffled McQueen shirt, perfectly demonstrating it is the perfect base layer.
Buy now £45.00, COS
Claudia Winkleman's outfits from Celebrity Traitors, Episode 1
Aligne Charlie Wool Overshirt
Worn for Celebrity Traitors' very first episode, the military-style Chloé Herringbone Wool Jacket is now, predictably, sold out. But since it’s autumn, there are plenty of other tweed and military-inspired options that will cut the mustard. Ralph Lauren’s jacket is strikingly similar but low on sizes. Plus, it costs £745.
Aligne's overshirt sports similar oversized pockets and a nearly-there colour, but at a far more palatable price.
Buy now £125.00, Aligne
Johnstons of Elgin Light Grey Cashmere Wrist Warmers
Of course Clauds has more than one set of fingerless gloves in her arsenal. Arguably her boujiest pair come from Scottish brand Johnstons of Elgin. It seems like she's wearing the light grey cashmere ones in episode one.
Buy now £90.00, Johnstons of Elgin
Hunter Women's refined riding tall wellington boots
When you're skulking around the Scottish countryside causing mayhem, solid footwear is key. Winkleman is pictured wearing two-tone tall Wellies from Hunter, and they're still available - albeit in the inverse colour combo. Available in sizes 3 - 9.
Though not exactly two-tone, Le Chameau does a lovely cherry red pair (£160), a style that I think would get the Winkleman seal of approval.
Buy now £145.00, Hunter
Monsoon Ciara Cape Coat in Black
If there's one thing Winkleman is known for as the Traitors presenter, it is a cape. Hers comes from a brand called Luxury Family Affair, is crafted from boiled wool and costs the better part of a grand.
More pocket-friendly alternatives include COS's double-faced wool scarf short jacket (£189), By Anthropologie Wool-Blend Check Funnel-Neck Coat (£248), or my favourite, Monsoon's Ciara Cape Coat, which has wide arms and a spacious neckline to allow layers to peak through.
Buy now £130.00, Monsoon
Givenchy Shark Lock embellished glossed-leather knee boots
Winkleman's Givenchy leather boots, worn to open the celebrity series, have inspired dozens of high street copycats, but the OG remains the best. Crafted in Italy, this style features a wedge heel and overlay design, with branded padlocks adding the final, luxurious detail. They also come in brown.
