Claudia Winkleman is actually orange

Watching the new traitor series and her face and neck the most unatural orange colour. Everyone else is a nice normal colour even with lots of makeup on. Who on earth does her makeup?

I also love Claudia think she is just fab!

AuntySueDoesntGiveAShit · 04/01/2024 21:04

I think she looks great, I wish my fringe would lay flat like hers does , I’ve got a cow slick so there's no chance.

WelshMoth · 04/01/2024 21:06

I'd also love her hair - mine has been in centre parting since the 1800's (feels like) somId be left with 2 giant curtains.

No style at all!

Its up to her what she wants to look like i dont have to walk around like it.
BUT her fringe i dont like just no.

Okitten · 04/01/2024 21:09

She does! And she loves it for whenever reason. She just does her own thing and isn’t beige. Who knows what she sees but as long as she likes what she sees I love it for her!

You did mean a cows lick there didnt you?

Because a cow slick on your head would be a very different thing!!!

itsmyp4rty · 04/01/2024 21:11

I love her. Her fringe though would drive me crazy!

the80sweregreat · 04/01/2024 21:11

I have a horrible fringe that won't behave , but cba to ' grow it out ' and it hides a multitude of sins too
Claudia has great hair

ironedcurtain · 04/01/2024 21:12

How does spray tan work? Do they not have brown? Or is it specifically the orange shade she likes?

Lottapianos · 04/01/2024 21:13

I love that she has such an extreme, tightly curated look. Good for her. She's very funny and entertaining too. It's quite annoying when she pretends that she doesn't care how she looks and says she has no mirrors in her house though 🤔

jay55 · 04/01/2024 21:14

They should bring back Benidorm just so she could cameo in it.

Hols24 · 04/01/2024 21:14

I love her too! Unapologetic is absolutely the right word.

LaChienneDesFromages · 04/01/2024 21:14

I think she’s great. She come across as smart, warm and naturally funny. Whoever is styling her wardrobe for The Traitors is getting it spot on- she looks amazing!

Last night, DD coined the style ‘tweedy goth’ which is about right. DH got home from work early to watch as he’s had a crush on her since he met her at his cousin’s 21st birthday party in 199something.

soupfiend · 04/01/2024 21:15

Her mum confirmed this though. She confirmed she wouldnt allow mirrors in the house when the kids were gowing up

Not sure what that looks like as her mum was always incredibly well turned out, perhaps there was just one special one or something

PurpleSilverPetal · 04/01/2024 21:16

I always imagine in real life, that she walks happily around in her light brown highlighted hair, with normal makeup and subtle, eyeliner and glasses, and no one recognises her.

Just like that guy with the huge glasses and pointy collars, who will be unrecognisable without his trademark look

Looking entirely nice and normal, and incognito, going about their everyday lives

the80sweregreat · 04/01/2024 21:17

She's articulate, clever , went to Oxford and rocks on strictly
I also like Tess too

Are you talking about Harry Hill?

He's a character, not the real person

I think she is usually pictured looking the same as on the telly, more or less

Trevorton · 04/01/2024 20:23

Oh.. how sad.

Why on earth would you say its sad

Shes found a look she likes (orange dace, black fringe, white lips) & embraces it. It might not be to everyone's taste but to each their own

It's not stopping her getting work & she comes across as very happy, and not the type to post snarky comments online about another womans appearance

Nothing sad about it

Oh.. how sad.

Personally I think it's sadder to come online a bitch about how someone looks.

lipsticktractor · 04/01/2024 21:23

I’m another fan. I think it also helps her not be recognised when she goes out sans makeup and her fringe clipped back.

Lottapianos · 04/01/2024 21:25

'Not sure what that looks like as her mum was always incredibly well turned out, perhaps there was just one special one or something'

I remember her mum Eve Pollard on the telly when I was a kid - she was so glamorous in a very 80s way and I thought she was fabulous!

Claudia is clearly massively interested in how she looks - no judgement, I'm the same! I just don't believe for a minute that she never looks in a mirror

CatamaranViper · 04/01/2024 21:25

I bet OP gets this thread zapped and name changes after this rather than owning her behaviour

scrivette · 04/01/2024 21:26

She came across really well on Graeme Norton, she said she just loves being orange! She also seemed to indicate that she has very poor eyesight in one eye so that may explain why she covers her eye with a fringe.

I haven't seen her in anything before and I thought she was very funny.

Moonshine5 · 04/01/2024 21:27

Her look is her signature; what I can't understand is why the BBC won't hire more women rather than rotate the three that they have.
Personally I find her boring.
