Everyone's wardrobe can teach you something. Kate Moss's iconic Glastonbury wardrobe taught me that the missing shoe from my wardrobe is a classic pair of Hunter wellies, Hailey Bieber taught me that an oversized leather jacket can solve any dressing dilemma, and Claudia Winkleman taught me that you can never be too extravagant when it comes to your choice in outerwear. Winkleman might be in the Scottish Highlands while filming The Traitors, but she lets none of the rain, dirt, or, ahem, practicalities get in the way of her outfits.
Purple fur in said Highlands might not be the obvious choice, but then Winkleman's The Traitors wardrobe has always been anything but expected - her stylist Sinead McKeefry is particularly good at mixing high-end with high street, cashmere with leather and rain with purple fur. Instead, Winkleman's coats have become a Wednesday, Thursday and Friday evening highlight in itself, with an impressive rotation that manages to feel suitably eccentric yet also actually wearable.
In fact, in a clip posted by the BBC on Instagram, Winkleman suitably describes her style for this season of The Celebrity Traitors as: 'We've gone like golf caddie meets Artful Dodger, and I'm into it, with always just a touch of Princess Anne.' From that, I'm going to gather that we can expect plenty of Brora styles, a selection of tartan and checks, and most likely a couple of faux furs in there too. This is, now, your running edit of Winkleman's best coats - and I'll be updating it as the series continues, and inevitably, another very good coat appears.
