Claudia Winkleman just gave fans a glimpse at the new Celebrity Traitors and – more importantly – her wardrobe, including some knee high boots that are ideal for autumn
After three seasons of The Traitors, you should know by now that Claudia Winkleman’s wardrobe has become something of a phenomenon in its own right. And whilst we usually have to wait until January to see what outfits Claudia and her stylist Sinead McKeefry have put together, this year we’re in for a treat, as the first UK Celebrity Traitors series is set to hit our screens in October.
Whilst this means plenty more espionage and trickery from a host of celebrity faces this time around, it also means double the amount of Claudia’s outfits on our screen. To tide us over, Claudia gave us the first glimpse at one of her looks in a recent Instagram post wearing a sweeping black cape, her signature leggings, and a pair of buckled knee high boots that are guaranteed to set some autumn trends.

Claudia appears to be wearing a pair of Givenchy’s Shark Lock Buckles Boots which are completely sold out in the UK, with a pair available on the American version of the site for $2550 (£1887). With their fold over design and buckle details, they’re set to be a huge hit for autumn dressing.
But if your budget won’t stretch to almost £2k (not to mention no word on if they’ll get a UK restock) we managed to track down the perfect affordable lookalike which is still very much in stock. Over at Debenhams, you can pick up the IKRUSH Taylah Pointed Toe Fold-over Knee High Boots for just £56.99, down from their usual price of £84.99.
Just like Claudia’s designer version, the Taylah boots have a high block heel, pointed toes, and a statement-making foldover design that reaches the top of the foot. They also feature three buckles down the outside for that designer look, with a handy zip fastening on the inside that makes them easy to get on and off.
Perfect for autumn, the Taylah Fold-over Knee High Boots can be effortlessly styled in plenty of ways, and can lean into a more edgy look or into a more polished style depending on how you wear them. Claudia’s styling – with a pair of leggings, a textured cape, a voluminous blouse and her signature handwarmers – is perfect for a gothic-inspired country look.
You could just as easily wear them with a pleated mini skirt, cosy jumper and long wool coat for a more sophisticated look, or even with a midi skirt and leather jacket for a laidback vibe. Although they’re made from faux leather, they have a soft matte finish which makes them look more expensive, with sizes three to eight available
Debenhams isn’t the only place on the high street to pick up a great alternative to Claudia’s Givenchy boots, however. ASOS has a huge selection, ranging from chunky platform styles to dainty pointed toe versions, with everything from black leather to brown suede and even a rhinestone covered pair available to shop.
Similarly, PrettyLittleThing has a great selection of different fold over knee high boots. With suede options in black, tan and camel, as well as western style, stiletto heels and even shorter mid-calf length version to shop, there’s plenty to choose from if you want to make Claudia’s style inspo your own.
However one of the closest matches to Claudia’s chic designer look that we’ve found is the Taylah Fold-over Knee High Boots. Pick them up with 33% off now at Debenhams.
