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 was once at a very posh Cotswold pub and I was convinced Keanu Reeves was in there, with his disguise of freshly washed, neat hair, clean shaven face and beautiful clothes rather than his scruffy pap shot image.

I absolutely adore her! Agree that she could go incognito quite easily!

This. When she first started out she was generically pretty and utterly forgettable

This is very true, there are loads of tall, blonde, generically pretty blondes in TV presenting who all have the same look. She's embracing a different look and its worked for her. Also, that stuff about no mirrors was a flipping JOKE- her mum didnt have mirrors in the house when she was younger so she was making a joke about the fact she looks different by saying she has no mirror to see her makeup if it looks smudged etc.. She's said before she likes to emulate Chrissie Hyde and Alice Cooper which I think is brilliant and so refreshing than the usual blonde hair, plumped lips, perfect makeup look.

How is her hair so shiny?

This.
And what product does she use to make her so 'orange'.

DH has just told me I'm thinking of Sue Pollard not Eve Pollard, which is why I'm so surprised 🤣

😂😂😂

BIossomtoes · 05/01/2024 10:04

I absolutely love her. She’s so funny and self deprecating. Who cares what colour she chooses to make herself?

CantDealwithChristmas · 05/01/2024 10:06

I really dislike the way she wears her fringe. So low and close to her eyes like that. It's just really not fallering. We want to see her eyes and her face!!

You did mean a cows lick there didnt you?

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

I always liked her, and then when I saw her on The Wheel, I loved her even more.

The contestant chose her to help answer the final question. She’d said if she won, she’d use the money to buy her wedding dress. Well, they got it wrong, and Claudia was bereft. She promised to take the contestant wedding dress shopping and buy her her wedding dress - and she bloody did it!

They showed a pic of them grinning away in a wedding dress shop! She could have just sent the money - and she didn’t even have to do that. But she fulfilled her promise.

She’s a good egg.

BIossomtoes · 05/01/2024 10:24

That’s a beautiful story @LunaNorth. What a fabulous thing to do.

I’ve just googled this and seen the pictures! How lovely.

You can see her eyes and face just fine.

I’ve always assumed she has a limitless supply of shiny black wigs for TV work.

But she always looks wonderfully distinct.

Yes I saw this! What a fabulous woman she is.

It's how I feel about my DD - I love her to bits, don't love her oompa loompa look, but forgive her because I think she's brilliant.

Don’t know about the hair but she has a mobile fake tanner person come to her house I think.

WraithBabe · 05/01/2024 11:42

A friend told me a not so nice story about the way she treats runners on set, but I’m hoping they got her mixed up with Tess Daly, about whom there are numerous stories of nastiness. I would really like to believe Claudia is just as she seems on screen in real life - not that I’m ever likely to actually meet and make friends with her!

martinisforeveryone · 05/01/2024 17:47

You could see a likeness to her mother before she adopted her distinctive hair and makeup image couldn't you. The comments about PPS getting mixed up between Eve and Sue Pollard have absolutely cracked me up, I mean, properly tickled me.

I'm another one who likes Claudia and think she looks great in her Traitors wardrobe, not so much on Strictly though. I also like her presenting on her own and not as Tess Daley's quirky side kick.

BlueThursday · 05/01/2024 17:59

Until she starts murdering puppies I’ll not judge. Bizarre thing to pick up on

Just when I thought I couldn’t love her any more.

Bouledeneige · 05/01/2024 22:03

Like mother like daughter.... her mum Eve (not Sue). I'm not sure Claudia does have one eye bigger than the other.

MouseMinge · 06/01/2024 01:11

I love her eyes. They're so big!

Manyandyoucanwalkover · 06/01/2024 01:14

I love Claudia, she has her own style, she’s witty, bonkers and individual. ❤️

Scrumbleton · 06/01/2024 14:08

She's great on The Traitors - and it's def a signature look

"But in the other hand I'm obsessed with her outfit in episode 2 of traitors with the tartan skirt and big wool jumper."

Me too - gonna order the kilt and a less expensive version of the sweater

Baldieheid · 06/01/2024 14:11

I too love her look. It's 100% her signature and that's that.
