There’s no denying that Claudia’s whole look is iconic and her thick fringe is part of it. Claudia previously explained that she got a fringe cut in when she was in her 20s.
But before then, she didn’t have one and images of the Strictly Come Dancing host with not a fringe in sight have been going viral online.
As she hosted series two of The Traitors earlier this year, the interest in Claudia’s fringe was high.
So what does Claudia look like without a fringe?

One person admitted: “I’ve just seen this video of Claudia Winkleman without the fringe and I am SHOOK.”
Another wrote: “Look at Claudia with no fringe!”
So why did Claudia get a fringe? The star previously opened up about the reason, joking she doesn’t have to worry about botox now!
Claudia joked to The Sun last year: “I don’t need Botox now. Have you seen how long my fringe is? It is now almost upper-lip length, I cannot recommend it enough.
“When you hit 51, just grow an enormous curtain in front of your face. Go full yeti. It works.”
Meanwhile, Claudia said of her fringe to Irish News: “If you’re on the school run, if you look disgusting, if you are knackered, if you have lost your house keys, if you are in mismatching shoes and the world’s falling apart… if you’ve got a fringe – a heavy fringe – something’s still going on.”
Don’t ever ditch the fringe, Claudia!
