The tension is ramping up as we hurtle towards the season three finale of The Traitors on Friday. And host Claudia Winkleman certainly isn't slowing down when it comes to style!

In the latest episode she presided over a dramatic game of chess, before watching as the faithful and traitors came together to banish another player (side note: has anyone spotted Claudia always seems to wear an Oura ring? Her heart rate must be through the roof at the roundtable!) .

She's chosen a real mix of fashion brands this series - ranging from Scottish knitwear by Brora and Johnstons of Elgin to British clothing brands like ME+EM and Holland Cooper.

But this time stylist Sinead McKeefry turned to one of the very best French clothing brands, The Kooples, styling this black and white tweed blazer with her usual Spanx leggings and Bottega Veneta boots.

Exact match

The Kooples Black and White Tweed Blazer

This the the very same jacket Claudia wore on the show. The tweed fabric and check print is a nice nod to the countrycore aesthetic, and I can't believe this style is still available to buy. And what's more it's reduced by a massive 60%! This won't be in stock for much longer.

Mango Straight-Fit Check Jacket

Mango's blazers are a favourite in my own wardrobe, and this softer brown colour fits with the spring/summer fashion trends for 2025. It's another January sale piece, so add it to your basket while it's half price.

Spanx Seamless Leggings

I recently reviewed these leggings, and let me tell you there is a reason Claudia keeps on coming back to them. They smooth out your silhouette without being too restrictive, and will give you the confidence to wear leggings as trousers, even if you haven't for years.

The Kooples Silk Shirt

Claudia's shirt is also by The Kooples, and although it's difficult to be sure of her exact style, this white silk option is stunning, and will work wonders for your capsule wardrobe.

H&M Chunky Chelsea Boots

Claudia's Bottega Veneta boots will set you back more than £1000, and sadly they are not in the sale. So instead, H&M has got you covered - these chunky Chelsea boots will look amazing with tights and a mini skirt.

You don't need me to tell you how hard a blazer will work in your wardrobe, particularly as we approach jeans and blazer weather, so it's a sound investment.

And I'm definitely not the only fan of the dream team that is Claudia Winkleman and her stylist Sinead McKeefry. Comments on this outfit post on Instagram include: "my favourite part of the Traitors is waiting for Claudia to appear in these outfits" and "how will we survive the rest of winter without our Traitors fashion fix. Outstanding".
