Claudia Winkleman has always been a style icon. With her signature heavy fringe, smoky eyes and semi-gothic taste for monochrome, she’s perfected that effortless cool-girl vibe we all secretly (or not-so-secretly) want for ourselves. But during her stint as host of The Traitors, her outfits have become as eagerly anticipated by BBC watchers as the gripping drama of the show itself. And the unsung hero of her wardrobe that you may not have spotted? A simple, stretchy pair of leggings with a bit of magic. That’s right, the item most of us shove on for lazy days at home is the same one that stars in many of her most iconic show looks (leave it to Claudia to take this humble wardrobe staple and turn it into the centrepiece, eh?). The exact pair she’s been wearing this season are SPANX’s Eco Care Seamless Leggings, £58 on Next, reports the Mirror. We know this because her brilliant stylist, Sinead McKeefry, tags most of her outfits from the new series on Instagram, revealing that Claud’s The Traitors wardrobe includes a mix of high-end staples and versatile essentials, with these shapewear Seamless Leggings, as well as the brand’s faux leather leggings, £89, being the key players to some of her oversized blazer and mini dress looks.

But these aren’t just any leggings. shapewear is renowned for its ‘magic support’ fabrics that create the illusion of toned legs and stomachs. These leggings don’t just fit – they flatter. With a double-layer waistband to smooth your tummy, a centre seam-free design for sleekness (think ‘Barbie’ crotch), and a four-way stretch for movement, they’re designed to look fab whether you’re lounging or lunging. If you’re a legging lover, it’s worth investing in a quality pair like this that won’t show your knickers, give you a VPL or lose their shape after a few washes. Plus, as Claudia shows, you can pair them with anything for a stylish outfit. When she wears these slim-fit leggings, she often opts for oversized blazers or chunky jumpers on top, keeping the look casual yet chic. It’s an easy style anyone can copy, and it’s a styling trick that lets you reimagine pieces already in your wardrobe. Even the texture of the leggings matters. Claudia’s favourite shapewear pairs aren’t plain cotton – they’re luxe fabrics like stretch ponte, faux leather, or even velvet. These little upgrades elevate the leggings from casual to polished, making them suitable for almost any occasion. Oh, Claudia. What will we do when The Traitors is over for another season? We’ll have to revert back to our trackies. Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.
