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).
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 🙌🏼.'

Week twelve
We made it to the semi-finals! It seems like a long time coming but on Saturday night, five couples danced for four places in the Strictly 2024 final. With each couple performing two dances there were lots of great ones to choose from; including JB and Lauren's salsa and Tasha and Aljaz's waltz.
Sunday
For Sunday night's show, Winkleman opted for an outfit that was, well, much more laid back, and even included a blouse from the high street.

Week eleven
Week eleven was yet another themed week, musical week, which saw JB and Lauren top the leader board with their wholesome Viennese Waltz to Let's Go Fly A Kite from Mary Poppins. At the bottom of the board stood Pete and Jowita - whose waltz failed to impress the judges. However, the age-old question we really care about is what what Winkleman wearing?
Sunday
For the second time in one week, Winkleman opted for yet another signature monochrome look - do we sense a theme? On Sunday she donned an almost Chanel-inspired black tweed mini dress.

Week ten
Following the excitement that was Blackpool week, the remaining couple's danced with a point to prove. This week saw the very first 40 of the season, given to Tasha and Aljaz's American Smooth to Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi.

Week nine
Week nine means one thing and one thing only - it's Blackpool week. The remaining eight couples performed at the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom and two couples, Tasha and Aljaz and Sarah and Vito, scored 39 - no 40 yet though (!) The moment for us however, was Claudia Winkleman donning a kaftan dress that looked just like a sparkling gold glitterball.
Sunday
For Sunday evening's show, Winkleman took a more laid-back approach compared to the previous night, and paired a simple leopard shirt with black jeans and white court heels.

Week seven
Week seven was all about icons - from Motsi dressed as Tina Turner, to Pete Wickes impersonating Freddie Mercury, this week was, let's say, quite interesting. Claudia Winkleman of course didn't need to dress up as an icon, after all, she's an icon herself.

How do we find Claudia Winkleman's Strictly outfits?
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!'
