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 adore her look and think she’s gorgeous. I would love to look like her at 51!

the80sweregreat · 04/01/2024 21:29

Eve pollard is her mum ? Wow , you do learn something every day ,
I can see it now , but I had no idea this was the case
She was brilliant on tv years ago

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.

She is far from boring, she is witty and cutting and quick and sharp with lots of warmth.

Chuffing love Claudia and if anyone wants to know her signature lipstick, it's MAC's fleshpot

the80sweregreat · 04/01/2024 21:32

Which three woman are ' rotated '
?
The bbc seem to have lots of women presenters and radio hosts and all sorts
Always good to have more, but I'm sure there are more than 3 ?

Silverbirch7 · 04/01/2024 20:26

Literally don't understand her look 🤷‍♀️

Me neither but I like how she is able to laugh at herself. It's a good trait to have

MouseMinge · 04/01/2024 21:36

She's a glorious woman! Probably already been said but she has really bad eyesight and no mirrors in her house because on one level she doesn't care and on another she loves to be orange! She has only a vague idea of what she actually looks like and she's fine with that. I wish I could be more Claudia, although no orange. Orange would not suit me at all. I adore her!

IsThePopeCatholic · 04/01/2024 21:36

She’s bright, she’s funny, she’s hardworking. So what if you don’t like her makeup?

Atethehalloweenchocs · 04/01/2024 21:36

I am a convert to loving CW - I was skeptical of her at first but having seen how lovely she is when hosting, and hearing her being interviewed, I think she is absolutely fabulous, whatever she does.

Crushed23 · 04/01/2024 21:38

Winkleman was at Cambridge rather than Oxford.

BigMandsTattooPortfolio · 04/01/2024 21:39

She’s a great personality and doesn’t take herself seriously. Dh likes her too.

cerisepanther73 · 04/01/2024 21:39

@Trevorton

Who does her look her make up ?

It's the legendary Ooompa Lymppoo little men of course,

the80sweregreat · 04/01/2024 21:40

Oh sorry ! I thought it was Oxford
She's mega bright that's for sure.
I bet she's just a nice decent person
She doesn't seem the usual vacuous celeb

Crushed23 · 04/01/2024 21:40

It’s silly to suggest there are only 3 women on the BBC - there are countless! Including many middle aged women. In fact, it’s hard to think of a presenter under 40. Helen Skelton perhaps?

She is far from boring, she is witty and cutting and quick and sharp with lots of warmth.

Really, every interview I've seen she always mentions something about her look ie. her fringe, her eyeliner, etc. I find the interviews / presenting to churn out insipid lines. So yes I confirm I genuinely find her boring.

Startyabastard · 04/01/2024 21:42

I agree, she is anything but boring. She's got loads of charisma.

Oh.. how sad.

Oh yes a woman who is happy with the way she looks, let’s dig into her and call her sad.

Gowlett · 04/01/2024 21:43

Never seen her on the telly (don’t watch it).
But I did enjoy her Sunday Times (I think?) column a few years back. Said she’s always loved the pale lipstick.
She used to write about style, and her preferred look.
It was always entertaining! Better than the usual “advice”

My thoughts. She seems to give a shit about people around her and isn't striving to be perfect.

People tend to focus on that when talking about her or to her

If you listen to her presenting radio/telly you will know shes not boring at all and doesnt talk about her look

Moonshine5 · 04/01/2024 21:45

Fair enough, horses for courses

Namchange101 · 04/01/2024 21:51

I did have this thought last night watching Traitors. Indoor shots show up the colour more than outdoor and I did wonder what the make up team were up to, but now I know thanks to this thread ha!
We just love her in this house. We find her genuinely funny, warm and genuine. Way more personality than the Tessbot. We love nothing more than when things go wrong or she gets too excited and she ad-libs. She’s bloody brilliant, in all her orange/white/black beauty!

BreadInCaptivity · 04/01/2024 21:54

I love her gives no fucks attitude to how other people think she looks.

This a a good clip of her describing her look:

Personally I think we should all be a bit more Claudia...

MyCatIsPlotting · 04/01/2024 21:59

I think she’s great. I once went to the filming of a Strictly episode and she was brilliant with the audience, very interactive and great at building rapport and getting people energised. She can pull the most awful faces too 😂
