The Traitors has officially returned to TV screens for a second series, and with it comes the return of host Claudia Winkleman and her impeccable style choices. But the presenter, who is instantly recognisable for her iconic heavy black fringe and dark eyeliner, has already had an expensive wardrobe for the first three episodes, reportedly worth a staggering £8,000. While Claudia, 51, nails her countryside chic style for the Bafta-winning BBC reality game show about treachery and loyalty, it doesn't come cheap and one of her eye-catching coats from the show has a £749 price tag.
Now it's been revealed that Claudia, who previously warned this year's contestants are "more brutal" than the previous run, wore outfits totalling £4,476 for the first two episodes of The Traitors alone, according to The Mirror. One of Claudia's statement outfits from the first three episodes was the £749 navy and green coat, previously seen on the Princess of Wales, from British tweed brand Holland Cooper. Another item, that has now sold out since she wore it on the show, was a £595 navy and grey argyle knitted vest from Purdey London.
For the show’s opening episode, the presenter paired the argyle knitted jumper with black jeans and matching black wellies, completing the look with a long black midi-length coat and a shirt collar peeking out the neck of her jumper. There was also a £480 khaki woolly jumper that featured yellow smiley faces on the elbows by Japanese menswear brand Kapital. Claudia matched the bold knitwear with a £259 mohair kilt from Scottish brand Brora and £180 Dr Martens boots.
