We've missed Claudia Winkleman since the end of The Traitors, so we're loving having her back on our screens!
The second episode of The Claudia Winkleman Show airs on BBC One this evening, and her stylist Sinead McKeefry gave us a sneak peek of what we can expect style-wise when she shared a post on Instagram earlier today.
Claudia wore three British clothing brands, teaming a brown velvet trouser suit from ME+EM with a blue blouse by Bella Freud and a pair of tan leather brogues from the Miu Miu x Church's collaboration. It's exactly what we loved about Claudia's Traitors outfits, with a glamorous Friday night edge to it.
What really stood out to me about this look was the unexpected colour combination - doesn't the sky blue hue complement the chestnut brown perfectly? If you have both of these colours in your wardrobe, get experimenting, but if not, I've tracked down some exact matches and lookalikes to help you copy Claudia.
Shop Claudia's look
Unfortunately the matching slim crop trousers have now sold out, but you can still buy Claudia's exact jacket - and it's reduced in the ME+EM sale. It's available in several other colours too, such as navy or olive.
You'll no doubt know Bella Freud's fun slogan knits, but Claudia loves this Minnelli shirt (named after Liza, of course!). She's previously worn the white version to host Strictly Come Dancing, so she's clearly a big fan. It's 100% silk, and it's got a removable tie neck detail.
There's only one size left in these Monk strap shoes, so be quick to click if you're keen to try them. These are the kind of investment piece that you'll wear forever, and they're typical of Claudia's signature style.
These are a great match for the colour of Claudia's trousers, and I actually prefer the wide leg fit. These would look so chic styled with a simple camisole and heels for dinner.
Velvet is for life, not just for Christmas, and the colour of this suit is a great match for the ME+EM original. It's available in UK sizes 10-20, and I love the embossed buttons.
This rich brown colour is a much softer alternative to a black trouser suit, and when you're not wearing it with pale blue à la Claudia, you could try jewel tones or even a pop of colour like bright pink.
Claudia also posted on Instagram ahead of the show, calling her guests Niall Horan, Rachel Zegler, Guz Khan and Joanne McNally "utterly brilliant".
Claudia so often sticks to black and white outfits that it's really refreshing to see her embracing a bit of colour. Her velvet two-piece is so sophisticated when worn as a co-ord, but you can, of course, style the jacket with blue jeans and loafers if you're looking for smart casual outfit ideas.
