I’ve only just realised that Claudia wears a wig

Watching the traitors and her hair is not real.. cue everyone saying differently but it doesn’t even look like hair at this stage. It’s stiff, sticky and doesn’t move like normal hair..

Claudia had loads of flyaway hairs last night. So noticeable I commented on it at the time… I wanted to smooth them down so much!

Yes you can easily see it’s her real hair, when she’s out doing trials or it’s up, even candid photos when she’s out and about.

awful thread.

all those crying “but what about head and shoulders?!”. You do realise that celebrities often don’t use the product they’re promoting? Do you think Kevin bacon is really on EE for example? They paid her to do a job, not religiously use their shampoo

Ha yes! It tickled me that folk think she actually uses head and shoulders! The power of advertising!

I don't know about the hair, but the fake tan is verging on cultural appropriation 😬

Appropriating satsuma culture?

Absolutely. Claud is a legend. Her image is spot on and she's delightfully obtuse.

I saw an interview with her where she says that she decided to model her style on a male French student character called Jean who wears pirate fancy dress. It's genius actually. I need to choose a character. 😂

I often wonder if Claudia's extreme "look" is an easy way to ensure she doesn't get hassled in public much. If she went out without fake tan/bronzer, her hair tied bad and no fringe, and minimal eye make-up + a normal lip colour, she'd be barely recognisable I think. I reckon I'd do the same if I was famous.

IMarchToADifferentDrummer · 16/10/2025 16:41

Her husband likes her hair & she's loosely related to our Royal Family via her sister who is married to one of them, and her sister looks way better as she has kept herself natural!!

I think she needs to change her hair, and definitely cut that fringe, after all this time, I'm surprised she can even see!!!

NothingLeftToInheritDarlings · 16/10/2025 16:43

She doesn't wear a wig - I have heard her interviewed about it - and I have a friend in her late 60s whose hair is fabulously thick and in a similar style - lucky them!

Huh? It’s really really not. It’s appropriating the concept of being rich and idle enough to be able to spend two months in Antigua instead of a measly two weeks.

YourAquaLion · 16/10/2025 16:45

Sorry if this has already been mentioned but I’m more intrigued by her lips being almost the same colour as her skin! When did we decide that was a look? I like it. It’s like the opposite of ridiculously OTT Botox lips that seem to be all the rage now! 👄 Love Claudia she is a style icon - those boots!!!

The "skin colour lips" fad does come and go from time to time but for her it's part of the desexualised and severe aesthetic. She calls it "kissing a bottle of Tipp Ex" 😁

soupyspoon · 16/10/2025 17:18

I think she's amazing, funny, natural, clever, sharp, witty and looks fantastic. Wish I could pull it off but Im not slender enough.

Sagaciously · 16/10/2025 17:20

I think Claudia is gorgeous. Who else could carry off that makeup? Her hair is fabulous too.

Her sister is a half sister and doesnt share any resemblance to her, nothing to do with being natural or not.

They're both extremely attractive women.

ThatCyanCat · 16/10/2025 17:24

She's fab and by all accounts really nice too.

MouseCheese87 · 16/10/2025 17:45

It's not a wig. In the last episode of Celebrity Traitors where she had her hair up you can see her natural hairline and scalp. You don't get that with a wig.

Kevin Bacon is not on EE?

Look how lovely her hair looked when it was this colour. The jet black look isn't nearly as nice as this:

share.google/7JWbtaJsHf0GRK8Es

Ooh that’s nice! Much more flattering for over 50 I personally thinks as well - softer and less harsh.

SemiRetiredLoveGoddeess · 16/10/2025 19:12

Wigs used to be called hairpieces years ago. So perhaps Claudia has gone for a hair piece.

I actually consider hair extensions which everybody seems to have these days.

Of course. As a Semi Retired Sex Goddess l have amazing eternal beauty and magnificent hair.

Obviously I don't know what kind of shampoo she uses but id be surprised in this day and age if she was blatantly lying and not a single person has successfully called her out or had a complaint to the ASA upheld

IANAL but I'd be surprised if it's illegal to endorse a product you don't use. By that logic, anyone who appears in an ad for a product they don't like would be acting illegally. As long as it's obvious it's a paid endorsement, I can't see the issue.

Sidebeforeself · 16/10/2025 20:28

@Shr3dding You can’t be serious. How on earth would she prove she uses Head and Shoulders?!
