How Claudia elevates all her Traitors outfits Euan Cherry / BBC / Studio Lambert

If you're into great style as well as great TV, you'll be thankful for some of the respite Claudia Winkleman's outfits have provided during tense episodes of The Traitors. Not quite ready to face the round table? Ok, ok. Let's check her stylist Sinead McKeefry's Instagram account to see where that jumper is from...

Red HQ can't get enough of her style; one that McKeefry told us is 'country chic with an element of punk.' While some elements of her outfits have absolutely taken centrestage (floor length Yeti coat, anyone?), there's a subtler detail she's worn every episode so far that's working overtime to elevate her look.

It's the siren red manicure. Have you noticed? There's a reason it pops so brightly, too. 'Claudia's red nail is an important point to all her looks, because it goes so well with greys, greens and all those earthy tones we use, elevating anything,' said McKeefry. 'A fresh manicure is the easiest way to add polish to any outfit, all year round – even a simple white T-shirt and denim.'

Hear, hear. It looks immaculate. The shade works particularly well because it's so warm, and veers into the tangerine end of red. An oxblood red, or even pillarbox, would look too moody and become a bit invisible alongside Claudia's wardrobe colour palette.

While we anticipate Claudia wears gel (nothing delivers quite as much plushness and shine), there are plenty of excellent options of polish that deliver on the colour front. Good base and top coats also work hard to extend the longevity of your polish, and do add an element of shine, too. If you're feeling inspired, here, find Red's edit of tangerine red hues. We'll hold off on the Yeti coat a little while longer...
