I just do! It’s sleek, shiny and looks so healthy.

Claudia’s fringe has been up there in many topics but she carries it off so well, it would do my head in but she is so obviously used to it!

I just think her hair was a AMAZING though, I love it, fringe and all! AIBU! 🖤

Her hair is gorgeous. Thick and glossy. Also, how does she have such a firm jawline at 50? It pisses me right off.

I said this to DH last night.
She’s a couple of years older than me but has more energy and no jowls!

BIossomtoes · 26/01/2024 11:59

Tendency to jowls is hereditary. My bloke’s always had them as have his sisters. I’m four years older than him and I haven’t got them at 70. Thank you for the genes, Dad!

I have total respect that she obviously found her style, and everyone had the same style circa 2008 - heavy fringe, all round heavy eyeliner and sun kissed skin - and she’s stuck to it! And Carries it off so well! She looks amazing on the Traitors

Sorry, but this.

Orange face, foundation lips, bad eyeliner, awful fringe, she might be a lovely person but her look is not good imo.

I kind of like what little I know of her as a human being, and her knitwear on The Traitors is divine, but while I appreciate it's her iconic look, I always think she looks a bit like a leggy, well-dressed Oompa Loompa.

Even my 11 year old son, who knows nothing about CW and isn't particularly invested in anyone's appearance, while watching an episode of TT where it was so windy during one of the missions that CW's fringe was blown back off her face, commented spontaneously on how unrecognisably different she looked 'without' the fringe.

Is the look a ploy so that if she scrubs off the tan, pins back the fringe and wears tinted lip gloss, she is completely unrecognisable and therefore unhassled by the general public when she's queueing in the supermarket?

Funderthighs · 26/01/2024 12:18

I have a theory that it’s a wig and that when she removes it and wipes away her statement make-up, she looks totally different so can live a private life, incognito.

Whatafustercluck · 26/01/2024 14:22

@Funderthighs I think she did a no-makeup cover shot for a magazine in protest of excessive air brushing of high profile female celebrities. She has my respect and admiration for that alone.

Wooloohooloo · 26/01/2024 16:08

It's not my taste but she carries it off well and it's very a distinctive look.

Hillarious · 26/01/2024 16:14

I'd like to say she's my best friend.

She isn't, but I'd like it if she were my best friend.

peakygold · 26/01/2024 16:25

I don't watch anything she is on because she makes it all about her. She's the female Stephen Mulhern - all passive-aggressive nastiness.

Shortbread49 · 26/01/2024 16:46

Yes but I sincerely doubt that she washes it with head and shoulders🤣

She isn't, but I'd like it if she were my best friend.

Er... hang on. She's MY best friend.

usernother · 26/01/2024 16:53

I was watching the traitors last night wondering if she gets her fringe trimmed weekly. Also wondering if she trims it herself because if it is a weekly trim it must be a right pain going to the hairdresser once a week. Or is she so rich, a hairdresser calls to the house? Anyway, I love her shiny hair, the fringe would drive me mad and I hate her pale lipstick.

@JoanThursday - it's wrong to monopolise her!

SecondHandFurniture · 26/01/2024 16:57

I love her. She makes me want to sweep mysteriously about in a cape coat and chunky boots.

Unbeknownsty · 25/01/2024 22:47

I love everything about her! Smart, funny, confident, down to earth. My favourite presenter/famous person.

Mine too I think. I particularly liked her as the presenter when people were performing at UK Railway stations, she had such empathy with people who needed help without being fussy about it. And I too love her hair - I wish mine was the same! 🌹

Zonic · 26/01/2024 17:10

She has a very long fringe . I wonder if she pins it back or wears it to the side when out and about . Without her dramatic eye make up too , I bet she looks completely different . I like her .

MerchSwyddEfrog · 26/01/2024 17:12

I like her hair but think her fringe is too long. On one of the episodes of Traitors it was really windy and the wind was blowing her hair off her face and she looked amazing. I think she is too pretty to hide behind that fringe.
I also think she is a style icon, her clothes on the Traitors have been so stylish and those gloves are great too!

DillDanding · 26/01/2024 17:16

I love everything about her. She has made being orange with heavy eye makeup completely cool. Not many could get away with it.

Plus she’s clever, funny, self-deprecating and dresses fantastically. I really have a crush on her!

Chocladore · 26/01/2024 19:40

Loving all of the CW appreciation 🖤

I do love her, but that fringe would piss me right off.

BusyCaz · 26/01/2024 19:54

Love her style, she is who she is and doesn't give a fuck

Snozzlemaid · 26/01/2024 20:02

She's brilliant. I love her too.
I'm reading her book 'Quite'. It's her observations and thoughts on various topics and she explains her choice of look.
It's a really interesting read if you want to delve into her mind. I'm reading it with her voice clearly in my head.

justthethreeofusx · 26/01/2024 21:24

Does anyone know what colour her hair could be?? It's gorgeous!

Chocladore · 26/01/2024 21:54

She’s looking as gorgeous as ever tonight!

Sorry, but her fringe is just ridiculous- it must affect her eyes.
