Strictly Come Dancing is famous for delivering enough Spandex, sequins and hair spray to give the entire nation a pick-me-up. And this year, the glamour quota of its presenters is almost guaranteed to score a perfect 10. Claudia Winkleman always brings a certain something to proceedings.
The fringe has legendary status - achieving a style akin to a ‘60s pin-up week in, week out - while her clothes are pretty sizzling, making a serious contrast to the woollies she wears on The Traitors (talk about a vibe shift). Claudia did not disappoint with her launch show outfit, doning the Zadig & Voltaire Vive Sequin-Design Blazer, with matching Sequin-Design Slim Trousers, £480.
Her Strictly wardrobe is so popular that while the show is airing, searches always spike, with questions like 'Where is Claudia Winkleman's dress from on Strictly' and 'Where did Claudia Winkleman get her jumpsuit from' circulating as viewers desperately search for clues, no doubt thinking about their own party season wardrobes as the festive period approaches.
For the most part, the response was nothing short of rapturous. Fans were so invested, in fact, that one even commented: 'Will there ever be a week when I’m not crying that I don’t have Claudia’s wardrobe? Probably not 🙌🏼.'

Luckily, the answer is usually dropped in their laps in time for the judges' verdict by Sinead McKeefry, Winkleman's stylist who has been by her side for several seasons of Strictly - and who also masterminded her velvet smoking jackets, cowboy boots and jodhpurs for The Traitors. She rather helpfully posts behind-the-scenes snaps of her celebrity charge - and has even gone as far as sharing a few of the brands like The Vampire's Wife, By Pariah and Valentino Garavani. Winkleman, however, is also a fan of the high street.
'It’s all about "the mix’" Keeping an eye on what the high street is doing is key as you can get some amazing pieces that, when styled with designer pieces, can look really premium,' McKeefry told Grazia, adding at the time: 'Claudia has an amazing eye for fashion and we both love a theme. So once we agree on that we are good to go! We instinctively know what each other likes and occasionally get overexcited with one particular piece that we take a risk with - so far it’s always either worked out or made us laugh with the public response! Neither of us is precious so we go with what we love and that’s the key to making it fun!'
