Claudia Winkleman is a fashion hero - and her combination of khaki camo over an all-black outfit made for the ultimate combination of edgy and sleek.

The enigmatic Claudia Winkleman has long been a source of style inspiration for us. And despite her incredible Traitors outfits and black satin moments on Strictly, we've been delving into the fashion archives to swoon over her past looks.

One cool camo and black ensemble particularly caught our eye - and reminded us of the edgy versatility that a khaki military style jacket can offer.

Camouflage is a print that we miss being part of our capsule wardrobes . While the likes of leopard print and polka dots never seem to go out of style, camo had a big moment for a few years around a decade ago. But we'd love to see it make a serious comeback in 2025.

Claudia's 2017 combination of a green-toned camo jacket worn over simplistic black skinnies and pointed-toe leather boots was a perfect lesson in how to wear the print.

Claudia's black top, trousers and sleek black clutch bag really allowed her camo top to pop. Her hair was loose and tousled, with her signature fringe taking centre stage where her gorgeous dark hair is concerned, as always!

With a dark tan and oh-so-smoky eye makeup, Claudia was the same, gothic mysterious beauty in the throwback pictures that she is today. We are inspired to run straight to the shops and get our very own camo items and add some Claudia chic to our own wardrobes.
