Claudia Winkleman fans are going wild for her BBC The Traitors wardrobe. We’ve listed all the outfits she has worn since the beginning of the series and where to find them, with a few affordable high street alternatives
We have all been glued to our sofas since New Year’s Day as BBC’s The Traitors returned for a fourth series, delivering high-stakes drama three nights a week. From the game-changing twist of a Traitor hidden from viewers, to the simmering animosity at the Round Table, this series is already being touted as the best one yet.
But while the players change, one thing remains a constant: Claudia Winkleman is the most stylish woman on television. Every episode sends fashion fans into a frenzy as they hunt down her “haute-country” power outfits, expertly curated by stylist Sinead McKeefry.
Claudia’s wardrobe perfectly captures a “Highlands-meets-goth-glam” aesthetic. Think iconic tartan, luxurious cashmere, and floor-grazing coats paired with her signature fingerless gloves and chunky boots. Whether she is in an oversized jumper or her go-to Spanx leggings, she has mastered the art of power dressing for the Scottish moors.
Speaking to Grazia ahead of the new series, Claudia’s long-time stylist Sinead McKeefry shared the inspiration behind the host’s look, explaining: “I feel like each season brings a new theme. With The Celebrity Traitors, the aesthetic was much more punk/gothic. There are still elements of that for the coming season, mixed in with heritage pieces we love,” she added, noting that she’s “enjoying seeing the looks evolve from season one.”
While we’re seeing some well-known brands in the mix this year – from COS to Scottish luxury fashion brand Brora, Dr Martens, LK Bennett, Hambro and Miller, Bottega, Me and Em, Essential Antwerp and more, McKeefry told Grazia: “You can expect some new independent brands. I always like to support independent brands, especially knitwear brands, as I know how difficult it is to sustain handmade knitwear as a brand in this climate.”
In this series, we’ve seen Sinead and her two assistant stylists, Lena Rush and Emily Bulford, put delicate, feminine ruffles with contrasting tartan coats and knitted hats, as well as rocking her usual blazer-and-boots combo. For those wanting to recreate her exact looks (of which there are three per episode), we’ve scoured her stylist’s Instagram and rewatched episodes to find the exact pieces she wore on the show. We’ve also added a few more affordable options for those who want the look without the price tag of a designer brand.
Claudia Winkleman’s outfits in The Traitors: Season 4
Episode 5 – return of the Yeti coat
While the reveal of the secret Traitor was the undisputed talking point of this drama-filled episode, we were utterly obsessed with Claudia’s wardrobe, which even saw the iconic return of the ‘Yeti’ coat. First up, for breakfast, Claudia revisited a silhouette she’s mastered before, but with a fresh twist.
Complementing her signature dark locks, she wore a black shacket featuring muted red and green checks by Vienna-based designer Petar Petrov. She paired the high-fashion layer with her trusty Spanx leggings £88, and a pair of chunky, lace-up Miu Miu boots £1,560.
To finish the look, she added her signature “extra” layer: the Brora Women’s Cashmere Folk Wristwarmers in mushroom, £95. It’s the perfect example of her trademark style – mixing investment designer pieces with reliable, lived-in staples.
Although the shacket is made from mid-weight wool and is great for those in-between seasons where it’s not cold enough for a coat but not warm enough for a simple top, Petar Petrov’s design does cost 750 euros – roughly £651. For a similar vibe, we’ve found this Bimbay Lola checked cotton shirt in black and rusted terracotta orange that seems to be on sale for £96.
Elsewhere, for a black-and-white iteration, this design from Next costs £59. The Neutral/Black Brushed Check Shacket has an oversized fit and is finished with two front pockets and a button-up front
For something a little more affordable footwear-wise, the Dr Martens 1460 Bex Lace-To-Toe Soft Leather Boots offer a similar look, featuring multiple ties across the top of the foot and a solid, chunky sole. What’s more, they’re currently on sale for £126, down from £180.
For the heartbreaking mission, Claudia topped her look with a shaggy coat and Bottega Veneta boots that truly stole the show. While this isn’t the exact YSL ‘Yeti’ coat that achieved legendary status last year, this new addition channelled that same high-drama glamour.
The Connolly coat, which we’ve devastatingly discovered isn’t available for purchase on the website, has a similar finish to the brand’s Teddy Fleece (£1,350) with its fluffiness and shearling lining, but comes in a longer maxi length with contrasting suede. It’s utterly jaw-dropping.

For shoppers after a more budget friendly option of the Connelly coat, the By Anthropologie Faux-Suede Longline Coat is a great option.
Although for a slightly less eye-watering price tag, Anthropologie’s By Anthropologie Faux-Suede Longline Coat is £220 and has a similar shearling design and maxi length. Claudia returned to her faithful Spanx leggings and black blazer – similar to this The Set Single Breasted Blazer Black, £34, from Next – and added a pop of colour with the Holland Cooper Ariella Blouse in colour Berry, £149 for the round table.
Episode 4 – A moment for the skirt, please?
Her breakfast ensemble served up a dose of 70s glamour. With a roomy, oversized blazer and exaggerated flared trousers, the set is from Essentiel Antwerp and crafted from a heavyweight herringbone weave.
Costing £340 and £190 respectively, the original set has sold out online. However, we have found a high-street alternative, at ASOS, shoppers can get their hands on the Monki cinched waist blazer suit co-ord in black for £120 total, with the black flares costing £50 and the matching blazer costing £70.
For those who love Claudia’s oversized silhouettes, this Gold and black lurex herringbone suit jacket (£240) is from one of the star’s favourite brands, The Kooples. It has a similar herringbone design and double-breasted fastening. The matching trousers for the set – the Gold and black lurex herringbone straight-leg pants, reduced from £265 to £132.50, don’t have the same retro flair as Claudia’s.
The suit look was finished off with a crisp white shirt from Me + Em, which could possibly be this £125 Swan Fitted Shirt in stretch cotton.
For the mission, she combined the show’s most-loved brands. Keeping the former Strictly star cosy were the Harris Tweed Check Coat from Brora, £745, a green Hambro and Miller roll neck jumper, which appears not to be available on the brand’s website, and a Mr Mittens chunky cream knitted beanie hat, 155 euros. While this design has sold out, Free People offers a similar style in its Chunky Woven Fisherman Hat for £68.
But the main event was the Needle and Thread tulle, ruffled, tiered skirt, which we believe is the Hattie Ruffle Ankle Skirt, £325. Coming in a range of colours, the skirt has sold out in the champagne and beige hues that match Claudia’s best, but black, pink, navy and multi are still in stock. Elsewhere, shoppers can snap up a similar style with Roman’s Black Elasticated Mesh Tiered Ruffle Skirt, £42, and All Saints’ ethereal £199 Aude Ruffle Maxi Skirt in blush pink.
Episode 3 – All green everything!
This episode, Claudia gave us not only winter wear inspiration, with layers aplenty that screamed country-core, but also an androgynous outfit in head-to-toe green that was so chic. To start, her breakfast looks married retro patterns with statement necklines and knitted textures.
While it may look like she’s initially wearing a skirt, The Traitors host wore a pair of cullottes (which appear to have been discontinued) and an exaggerated bow blouse from Zara, paired with Le Kilt’s Cosy Tank, which costs $343, in a warm caramel brown hue. With an oversized style and ribbed shoulders, this look is finished with a pair of Paris Texas boots, which look to be the Paris Texas 100mm Lavinia boots, currently on sale at FarFetch for £440.
For more affordable options, we’ve spotted a scallop-edged knit from ARKET for £47. The ARKET knitted tank vest with frill edge detail in rust has a slightly more fitted style and a round, crew neckline. Still, it would look equally as stylish over the top of the bow blouse – like this Sister Jane Polka Dot Tie Neck Top, now £34.50 from John Lewis or the Fifi Pussybow Star Print Blouse In Burgundy, £56, from Wolf & Badger.
While we’re not quite sure of the ensemble underneath the brown Brora coat for this episode’s mission, what we do know is that the £595 Merino Wool Coat was paired with a pair of fingerless wrist warmers, also from Brora, and black brogues from Grenson that look similar to this Evadne design, now on sale for £276. However, shoppers can get a very similar style from Schuh with its Lime Brogue in Black, now £35.99 from £60.
For the tense roundtable, Claudia wowwed audiences in a subtle all-green outfit that featured a staple of this season – a bow blouse – and flared trousers. Having sourced the sage-coloured, silky-striped blouse from a boutique called ThroughTheTrees, the look was completed with a £225 green tweed tailored waistcoat from Cordings and flared dark green trousers, which may well be the Priya Twill Patch-Pocket Flared Trousers in Green from Reiss, £78 from £150.
The look was brought together by a pair of Givenchy Sharlock ankle boots in Emerald green (available here on eBay). For something a little more budget-friendly on the high street, Next’s Lotus Green Heeled Ankle Boots are £65 and have a darker green hue with a suede ankle detail, making them just as glamorous.
Episode 2 – Kilt-glam
On Instagram, Sinead McKeefry revealed how she’d discovered Hambro and Miller last year, and is now ‘loving’ its designs – evident in Claudia Winkleman’s breakfast look, which saw her wearing a knitted tank (the Fair Isle Vest in charcoal/camel, £385) from the brand over a black COS poloneck top, £45. Shoppers can get a similar style knit from Jigsaw for £94 in its Fairisle Knit Waistcoat, which differs in that it has a button front and a more subtle Fair Isle pattern.
As for the mission, Claudia wore a gorgeous olive green Iona coat from The Landskein (€1,155), which could be recreated with this more affordable alternative from COS, now £185 instead of £269, featuring a warmer funnel neckline rather than Claudia’s classic revere collar. For a slightly brighter hue, Nobody’s Child has reduced the cost of its Green Double Breasted Coat to £100, down from £199, which mirrors Claudia’s style but comes in a more emerald green shade.
Channelling her gothic-punk-chic vibe from previous seasons, for the round table, Claudia wore her trust Spanx leggings, Bottega boots, as well as a gorgeous, frilled high-neck white blouse from COMME des GARÇONS underneath a Yves Saint Laurent velvet blazer.
While we’ve not been able to find the exact blouse Claudia wore, we’ve spotted these alternatives that are so similar in style. The Wolf & Badger Puff Sleeve Shirt With Ruffled Collar in white’s ruffle collar is just as dramatic and costs £70, while Sister Jane has a range of different shirts that exude the same vibe -such as this Breeze Bow Blouse, now £45 from £69, and features ruffles, lace, as well as a statement bow neckline.

Meanwhile, shoppers can recreate the YSL blazer with the Myrtle Velvet Single Breasted Suit Blazer in Black from Reiss, which costs £128 on sale and features a velvet finish with silky lapels.
Episode 1 -The leggings and boots are back
For the first episode, it Claudia went back to basics, not only returning to her failsafe blazer and blouse look for the welcome party, but also wearing the viral Spanx leggings, £88, and Dr Martens 2976 Hi Smooth Leather Chelsea Boots, £180, with a Peacoat from YSL,€3,900, for the first ever mission of 2026.
Urban Outfitters offers a lovely black alternative in its BDG Double Breasted Wool Coat, priced at £86 and still available in sizes XS to XL. It also comes in a brown shade for a softer look. Underneath the coat, it appears Claudia is wearing the Men’s Tartan Flannel Shirt in Dark Olive from James Purdey and Sons, £395, which adds a lovely casual feel to the look.

Superdry has a great option that is pretty similar: its Long Sleeve Cotton Lumberjack Shirt in white and green, which costs £49.99. Meanwhile, the Pendleton Wyatt Cotton Check Shirt, Olive Multi Plaid, is on sale at John Lewis for £75.
While the exact Chelsea boots Claudia has been spotted many times in over the series are loved by shoppers for their ‘perfect height’, ‘very comfortable’ wear and ‘great look’, some people have struggled with their sizing, with one person noting in a three-star review: “Boots look great, but really struggle to get them on.”
Another said: “The boots are beautiful, exactly what I was looking for. Great quality, as always, from Docs. However, they would not go on my feet. My 7-year-old child tried them on and really struggled, as the neck of the boot is so small. The boots have to be returned.” So keep this in mind.
To welcome the new cohort of Traitors for 2026, the 53-year-old TV and radio star wore a blush pink blouse from LK Bennett, which we believe to be the Crepe Tie Neck Puff Sleeve Blouse, £159 at Marks and Spencer, underneath a Jigsaw burgundy blazer, also available at M&S for £279. Although its quality wasn’t loved quite as much as its look by some, with one shopper noting: “Back all permanently crushed.”
