Claudia Winkleman looks great in her vibrant £2,369 jumper – but have the colours run in the wash?

The Strictly Come Dancing presenter wore the sweater for an Instagram advert plugging her Boots No 7 make-up and skincare range last week.

Made by Los Angeles-based luxury lifestyle brand The Elder Statesman, the cable knit is made from 100 per cent cashmere.

And while it may seem like the 50-year-old has put the expensive garment on a boil wash, the Californian firm boasts of tie-dying its clothes to create ‘vibrant palettes and groovy prints’.

Its publicity continues: ‘Hand-spun yarns, fine cashmere and relaxed style with charming details characterise this West Coast label that is sure to bring a ray of sunshine to any wardrobe.’

The fashion house, a favourite of celebrities including Rihanna, Harry Styles and Jennifer Aniston, also sells dressing gowns for £1,885 and hand-made cashmere socks – a steal at just £235 a pair.

While the jumper may not be to everyone’s taste, Ms Winkleman can certainly afford an expensive clothing collection.

She is reportedly worth in excess of £10 million thanks to highly paid roles that include Strictly and a Saturday morning slot on BBC Radio 2.

She earned between £450,000 and £500,000 from the BBC in 2017, but disappeared from the Corporation’s disclosures of staff pay last year because BBC Studios, which makes Strictly, is not required to divulge its payments.

Aside from her TV and radio appearances, Ms Winkleman, famous for her hairstyle, is about to embark on Behind The Fringe, a ten-date theatre tour of the UK. 

The show will see her recount anecdotes from her life, interview audience members on stage and even feature a group fringe-trimming session.
