To think Claudia needs to wear a lipstick ...

[Luncharmstrong]

That's not the same colour as the rest of her face ?
And lay off the eyeliner ?

She is soooo pretty but her makeup is terrible

Absolutely love Claudia, her look, personality and her wit. She used to do the Arts Show on Radio 2 and it was the best programme on the radio.

Claudia and Victoria Coren Mitchell are best friends, I would Imagine that a night out with them would be an absolute hoot.

How wonderful that woman are allowed to show their intelligence rather than just being judged on their looks!

i think she's 'cool' as she is just that. who she wants to be. i quite like her look it suits her and that is that really!

I don't remember the exact words, but her comment to Ashton on strictly last night when he was saying about his pregnant wife made me laugh out loud

* Seriously, why do women collude in this bullshit that all that matters about a woman is how she looks? It's like the last 100 years of feminism didn't happen.*

That comment wins the thread for me. This week has seriously depressed me in the stakes of woman’s rights. I hope my DD sees more progress in her lifetime.

She’s fab and looks lovely.
Anyway she obviously likes the colour of her lippy which is all that matters.

Or bloody should be.

I love Claudia
And I hate this misogynistic crap

She and her mama share a similar style of look:

She said when he was complaining well, your not making a human so ...
she's very quick witted and I think v funny on SCD I think she is dressing more stylish than in the past and it suits her, but tonight my mother said she looks like a prisoner!

I have a similar look to her (hairstyle and face) and I also never wear lipstick. Mainly because I don't have big lips (smaller than hers) so feel silly in lipstick which accentuates them. And because I don't touch up makeup in the day so there's no way I'm going to refresh any bold lipstick.

Shame people think a woman should wear more makeup!

DH calls her the 'Oompa Loompa'.

Holy fuck, this is happening. This is actually happening. A group of women are sitting in front of the TV picking apart another woman's appearance. With no sense of irony.

At a time when no man would do that to another man, but wouldn't hesitate to do that to a woman. At the tail end of a week of yet another avalanche of revelations about how vile powerful men can be to women and about how disgustingly women in the entertainment industry are treated. And this is happening.

We really are our own worst enemies aren't we.

Zippy - I hope your DH is an image of human perfection, then.

I love her too.

I love Claudia Winkleman, and couldn’t give anything even resembling a shit about what she wears - make-up, dress or otherwise. She’s funny and smart, and perfect for Strictly, among other things.

And how dull would it be if presenters were all identikit and interchangeable?

Bruno is looking very wrinkly these days. Perhaps he needs to think about botox.

Brendon is not ageing well. He needs to up his game as does Anton. Who cares how well they dance and what they have to say... its the looks innit.

OooohHorlicks
Just said a very similar thing on the Emma Watson bashing thread.

I love Claudia, I think she's a fabulous presenter. Quite apart from that I also like her very individual 'style'. I also don't give a shit what lipstick she does or doesn't wear.

Zippy - I hope your DH is an image of human perfection, then.

Ha ha! No, but he's entitled to an opinion. Just like everyone who thinks she is fab.

I think she looks great, plus I love her as a presenter, she is so quick witted and sharp and always makes me laugh.

Can't stand Claudia. The way she gazes up at Tess like a puppy hopeful for a treat is just vom-inducing. Whoever styles her should be shot, imo.
I know I'm in the minority here, but I can't stand Strictly since these two talentless, personality-devoid presenters thickos took over.
I would be saying exactly the same if it was two bad male presenters.

I think she gets darker every week. She doesn’t want to enhance her features so much as totally change her ethnicity. I’m not a fan. I think she’s too old to play the happless side kick.

Kinnell.

Claudia can do no wrong in my eyes. Nor Tess, actually. I really like them both and think it's great to see two female presenters on a prime time entertainment show. The fact that Claudia is funny and quirky is a bonus.
