Move over, Claudia: how Jonathan Ross became a Traitors style icon
"Since the hit show started in 2022, it has been the host Claudia Winkleman whose kilts, oversized knitwear and dramatic sweeping coats have drawn attention. This time around Ross has had the cast and the nation gripped until the very last second of his banishment. Over the past three weeks, the broadcaster has appeared in everything from dapper tailoring to an 80s Top Gun-esque jumpsuit. There have been snazzy cravats, oversized aviator sunglasses and dramatic fuzzy stoles."
"Ever since he burst on to screens in 1986 as the host of the late night TV chatshow The Last Resort, a jazzy oversized suit has been his signature. So while no one expected Ross, who once wore a blue checked Jean Paul Gaultier tailored skirt suit to a Pulp Fiction premiere in 1994, to start dressing like a member of the Labour party, his decision to ramp up his outlandish style as a Traitor did come as a surprise because remaining inconspicuous is key."
Jonathan Ross has used increasingly outlandish outfits on Celebrity Traitors, creating anticipation about his wardrobe each episode. His looks have ranged from dapper tailoring and an 80s Top Gun-esque jumpsuit to snazzy cravats, oversized aviator sunglasses and dramatic fuzzy stoles. He even wore a tweed cape and fingerless leather gloves, echoing Claudia Winkleman's signature kilts, oversized knitwear and sweeping coats. Ross's eccentric personal style dates back to his 1986 TV debut, with a jazzy oversized suit as his trademark, and a notable 1994 Jean Paul Gaultier blue checked tailored skirt suit. Dr Dion Terrelonge, a fashion psychologist, thinks of Ross's look as a costume.
