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 love her

NashvilleQueen · 04/01/2024 22:13

We all adore Claud in this house

Trixiefirecracker · 04/01/2024 22:14

I loved Alan Cumming on the American series, he was far better than her and not quite so orange. 😜

Interested in this thread?

@Trevorton

What is it that you find 'sad' about it?

Sunseaandsand1 · 04/01/2024 22:17

A woman publicly berating another woman because of her skin colour.

What?!? It’s her look, she is unapologetic about looking like an overbaked pirate from the Canary Islands and I absolutely love her for it 😍

Well so is Donald Trump 🤷‍♂️

frazzled22 · 04/01/2024 22:20

Each to their own I say.
However would love to see her make up free with her hair swept back just to see what she looks like!

Tonight1 · 04/01/2024 22:20

She seems happy and comfortable with herself, that's all that matters

Jacfrost · 04/01/2024 22:21

She's a nepo baby, it's never mattered what she looks like

That’s unfair. She only became a star in the last 10-15 years. In spite of her tangerine-ness 🤩

LunaNorth · 04/01/2024 22:28

I love her, she’s bonkers.

ThePoshUns · 04/01/2024 22:30

How is her hair so shiny?

She's been on TV for over 30 years

Wytchy · 04/01/2024 22:33

I've always assumed the orange mask and heavy fringe act as a kind of security blanket or buffer against having to show her actual self. Get the feeling she isn't particularly comfortable in her own skin.

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

That would make my year!

Goddessonahighway · 04/01/2024 22:42

Claudia talked quite a bit about the reasons for her signature look on the How to Fail podcast with Elizabeth Day.

Who says we have to follow fashions and trends? I like that she's confident enough to stick with what she likes.

ArcaneWireless · 04/01/2024 22:43

@EnjoythemoneyJane

Exactly.

You said what was in my head. Thank you. 👏🏽

May I add to it slightly with a picture….

First outing of 2024.

Mon the orangey glory.

DaisyDaisyDaisyDaisyDaisyDaisy · 04/01/2024 22:58

I think it would do me the world of good to make a (slightly late) NY Resolution to come off Mumsnet in 2024. This is the second thread that I've seen in just 2 minutes pulling a woman in the public eyes appearance to pieces. Both threads absolutely brutal. What a judgemental, catty, spiteful bunch.

Firefly2009 · 04/01/2024 23:03

It's fine if she likes to be orange. But I don't understand why she does like it?!

I'm guessing this is a recent development because I don't remember her being orange before. I just remember the fringe.

IDontLoveTheWayYouLie · 04/01/2024 23:06

You sound nice x

DillDanding · 04/01/2024 23:07

She is very orange in this season of the Traitors, even for her. But we’ve noticed the whole thing seems to be filmed with a colour enhancing filter.

I bloody love Claudia and her steadfast devotion to her look. No one else could get away with it. I thinks she’s glorious.

@Trixiefirecracker we watched some of the US one tonight too. Alan Cumming is quite something, it looks like his wardrobe will be as fabulous as Claudia's and his Scottish accent fits the scenery perfectly. It's quite interesting seeing it set in the same location but with American contestants.

I had a sneak peak at the Aussie one but it seemed very different

'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

Eve Pollard is her mum?!!!! No way! Love this, I had no idea. Not sure why I would 😂

This thread has not gone well

Does ANY thread on mumsnet go well? 😂
