No matter how expensive a ball gown is, Claudia Winkleman’s fashion is no less dazzling.
The Strictly Come Dancing presenter has listed her “must-have” accessories this autumn, with a combined price tag of almost £7,500.
The 52-year-old, who was reportedly paid more than £300,000 for the dance performance, recommended a £3,300 ring, a £2,250 Chloe bag and a £1,520 pair of boots.
Rounding out the list is a pair of mittens for £180 and two skincare products for a total of £204.50.
Writing in the Times’s luxury magazine Luxx, he joked that wealthy readers should take their bank managers out for lobster rolls “to offset the endless charges on their card”.

Ms Winkleman, who is reported to be worth around £10million, added: “September 2024 will be a banner month. Get together… make some shelf space (not a tiny corner please, build a cupboard if you need to); call your friends and tell them you’re going to have to go out more than usual because people will need to see what you have.”
Topping her list was the £2,250 Chloe bag, which she described as “the star of the show”.
She said she can’t live without her extra-large ginger-coloured camera bag and that touching it was “almost a religious experience”.
Next up were the £1,520 Miu Miu boots which, in her own words, “look like they spent the night in a dumpster”.
But she justified the price by describing them as “completely magical: not too heavy and not too fancy.”
Ms Winkleman said her Pebble diamond cocktail ring from jeweller By Pariah, which costs £3,300 and comes in jet black onyx, is “great to get us ready for Christmas”.
Adding that he is “particularly good on the pinky finger,” he wrote: “He’s saying ‘I’ve got places to be’ and ‘I can play the double bass.'”
There’s also Max Mara’s pair of plush mittens for £180, which are “soft as kittens”.

Ms Winkleman said her Pebble diamond cocktail ring from jeweller By Pariah, which costs £3,300 and comes in jet black onyx, is an accessory she wears on her pinky finger.
Winkleman’s autumn look wouldn’t be complete without a day cream (£99.50) and a day bar (£105) from the You’re Looking Well skincare range. That’s because, as she wrote, “the best accessory in the world is a plump face… with beautiful, happy pores.”
While they may fit into Mrs. Winkleman’s wardrobe, unfortunately many mortals will have a hard time getting their hands on lobster rolls.
Eating one at the Park, the west London cafe she recommends, will set you back £22.50.
