Given her unmatched hosting abilities on The Traitors and Strictly Come Dancing, Claudia Winkleman has cemented herself as somewhat of a national treasure. After stepping down as Strictly host and stepping in as guest-host on The Graham Norton Show last year, it appears that Claudia impressed BBC bosses so much that she was granted her very own chat show. If her Traitors outfits are anything to go by, we know were definitely in for a treat with her wardrobe on The Claudia Winkleman Show.
Once again, Claudia will be teaming up with her long-time stylist, Sinead McKeefry, so well expect to see sharp suits, expert tailoring and maybe a statement print here and there. Oh, and of course, lots of black. Thats all alongside Claudias signature sleek fringed lob, smoky eyeliner and nude-toned lippy. Actually, were getting ready to add a pair of Bottega Veneta Lug Boots dupes to our baskets as we speak.

©BBC/So Television/PA Media If youre wondering when Claudia Winklemans new chat show starts, it airs on BBC One on Friday, 13 March at 10:40pm. Initially, a seven-episode run is set to commence, so youll be able to tune in at the same time every Friday to watch Claudia chatting with her star-studded line-up of guests. The first guests on the show will be Jeff Goldblum, Jennifer Saunders, Vanessa Williams, and Tom Allen.

FAQs Who is Claudia Winklemans stylist?
Celebrity stylist, Sinead McKeefry, has been Claudia Winklemans long-standing stylist, creating looks for her on the set of The Traitors. The Traitors and Strictly host is famous for her androgynous look, sharp tailoring and mismatch of aesthetics, which the pair describe as Ronnie Corbett meets Princess Anne meets Madonna in the Guy Ritchie days.
Claudia further cited the inspiration for her style in an interview with Vernon Kay on BBC 2 Radio, revealing, I want a fingerless glove, and I want eye make-up that looks like Ive slept in a skip. I wanted to look like a male, mature French student. Lets call him Jean, right? Hes in Lyon. Hes on the way to a lecture. Hes studying physics, and hes got a scarf on. He might have a turtleneck, but... youre not going to believe this... on the way, hes walking. Its damp. I love winter. Guess what he goes past? A small pirate fancy dress shop. He picks up something. Thats my person.
