Claudia Winkleman’s Celebrity Traitors wardrobe is back in the spotlight, and River Island has a £66 pair of black knee-high boots that channel her designer look for a fraction of the price.
A new season of Celebrity Traitors returns this week, and while we’ll no doubt be hooked on the drama, deception and twists, but it’s Claudia Winkleman’s wardrobe that we will be focused on. Over the past few seasons of the BBC One series, Claudia has been serving up some seriously cosy autumn style.
From her signature sleek hair and effortlessly cool layers, she has a knack for making high-fashion looks feel surprisingly wearable. Her Traitors wardrobe has become almost as much of a talking point as the contestants themselves, with plenty of autumn-ready pieces we’d happily add to our own wardrobes especially the black knee-high boots.
But let’s be honest, the Bottega Veneta knee-high boots at £1,690 aren’t exactly in our budget. Luckily, you don’t have to splurge to get the same iconic look. High-street brands have stepped up, and the River Island Black Chisel Toe High Leg Boots £66 are the perfect example.
With the same chunky sole and sleek silhouette as the designer version, they offer all the drama of Claudia’s style at a fraction of the designer price.These boots are so versatile because of their design. The chunky sole adds edge and practicality, the square toe brings a sharp, timeless element, and the knee-high length instantly elevates any outfit, whether worn over skinny jeans or a mini dress.
To really nail Claudia’s look, try pairing the boots with a simple mini dress and a tailored coat for that effortless TV-ready style. They also look amazing with black skinny jeans tucked in and a statement jacket for a casual-chic vibe.
If you’re keen to grab them, head to River Island before they sell out. These boots prove you can channel high-fashion style without the high price tag. From casual coffee runs to evening events, they’ll instantly upgrade any outfit and let you channel your inner Claudia Winkleman style icon vibes, guaranteed.
