Claudia Winkleman needs to watch her back because Jonathan Ross is coming for her Traitors fashion crown. As well as dressing in her signature cape and fingerless gloves at breakfast, the presenter has been sporting some scene-stealing knits, perfect for the chilly Scottish Highlands.
And that's before we even get to his memorable, high-camp funeral garb, from the fur collar to the Ozzy Osbourne shades. As one person noted on X, "You've got to respect the drip.”
Oh, and who can forget the pink checked blazer worn over a polo neck from episode one. Move over Claudia, there's a new style icon in the castle and these are all the pieces we're borrowing from his wardrobe to get us through the autumn drizzle in style.
What to read next
The leopard print cardi
It's the perfect look for a spot of squash. We love a cosy knit that we can layer finer layers underneath in place of a coat at this time of year and, as Jonathan shows, leopard print is the perfect neutral.
We've found this similar cardi at & Other Stories. As it's oversized, you can wear a cosy polo-knit underneath and, like the Big Dawg, we'll be pairing ours with some tonal cords.
The pink checked blazer
A statement wool blazer is an autumn wardrobe essential that's easily dressed up or down. We love this one from Rouge, which is the closest we can find to Jonathan's episode one look (ideal for digging through mud, no?). Or, if you want to dial it up a bit, Boden's bold pink and khaki jacket would look great with a burgundy roll-neck, jeans and loafers.
The funeral (faux) fur
Part mafia don/part Black Sabbath, Jonathan's funeral look threatened to overshadow Claudia's McQueen outfit, which is really saying something. The 90s shades and fur stole with black overcoat will certainly bring all the drama on the daily commute.
Recreate the look with this gorgeous tailored Reiss coat (which also comes in an indulgent chocolate brown). The faux fur collar is also detachable for those days when you want to be a little more low key.
The yabba-dabba-doo coatigan
Ignore Alan's “yabba-dabba-don't” at breakfast, this is another great knit for those in-between days when you don't want to wear a heavy coat. While we're struggling to find the same fuzzy, zebra-print design on the high street, this coatigan from Sezane is a great take on the look and is an investment piece you'll bring out of the wardrobe every winter. Wear with a slim knit underneath and wide-leg jeans for 1970s-inspired cosy weekend style.
The Top Gun jumpsuit
Jonathan really got into character for the well-dunking task in this khaki jumpsuit. We've found a similar look in the sale at Hush, which we'd wear over a long-sleeve black jumper or polo neck (look to Uniqlo for these autumn basics) and biker boots.
