The Traitors has already captured us (thank you, Diane), and while we’re not wondering if the Faithfuls are near to solving the case, we’re appreciating Claudia Winkleman’s outfit.
One piece in the 51-year-old’s wardrobe has proven popular with spectators.
She wore an enormous green cable knit sweater on the second episode of the second series. The elbows, however, were not your usual piece of knitwear, as they sported enormous cheerful faces.
If she continues on this path, the theme of the Met Gala in 2030 will be ‘An Ode to the Traitors’ Ultimate Mother.’
Fans of the clothing flocked to X, previously Twitter, to express their enthusiasm.
‘I need that jumper Claudia is wearing. NEED! Those Smiley face elbow patches are LIFE!’ wrote social media user Tweak81.

Fellow Xer Carrie Walsh added: ‘Utterly obsessed with Claudia’s outfit here.’
User Georgina Afeba felt forced to use an expletive to share just how much of a big fan she is.
‘I’m sorry but Claudia’s jumper with smiley faces with fringes on the elbows is just too f*****g good,’ she shared.
So, we have some good news and some terrible news; which do you want to hear first? Continue reading. Bad – skip the next paragraph and come back.
The good news is that we have located the jumper! It’s by Kapital, and while the green version is temporarily out of stock, you can find it in a gorgeous brown shade on Mr Porter (it’s menswear, but as Claudia shows, it looks amazing on everyone) and Blue In Green Soho.
The bad news is that it costs £480-£488, so it won’t be cheap. We don’t want to encourage frivolous spending, but it’s ‘cable-knitted from wool yarns particularly selected for their velvety handle.’
Consider the following ideal scenario: a coworker praises your jumper, and you just respond, “Thank you so much, its wool yarn was specially selected for its soft handle,” and then walk away. The event would go down in workplace history (for all the wrong reasons, we’re sure, but you look terrific).
Please excuse us as we go set up a couple Vinted alerts.
Claudia has already disclosed who she turns to for style inspiration, and it’s about as specific as we can expect from our eccentric queen.
The celebrities at the forefront of Claudia’s stylist’s mind in 2023 were ‘Princess Anne meets Ronnie Corbett meets Madonna when she married Guy Ritchie,’ she told The Times.
We’re not sure if they’re still on that unique path, but everything appears to be going okay so far!
The Traitors is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
