Claudia Winkleman recently wore a £545 brown Brora bomber jacket on Celebrity Traitors season 2, and we’ve found a high-street lookalike that’s a fraction of the price
The smash-BBC hit Celebrity Traitors made its comeback to our screens last week on October 1, and had us on the edge of our seats, pulling our hair out and screaming at the screen in disbelief. But aside from this mystery, one thing we can always rely on is host Claudia Winkleman continually serving up some seriously stylish looks, as per.
Styled by Sinead McKeefry (Claud’s longtime fashion guru), the debut challenge ensemble was an absolute showstopper and solidified one trend that has definitively made its comeback – chocolate brown bomber jackets, reports the Mirror.
While the host’s lower half embraced the Scottish Highland setting with kilt-inspired checked trousers, finished with an attached half-pleated skirt (naturally, vintage Vivienne Westwood), Claudia stayed cosy in a brown bomber-funnel-neck jacket from Brora – a label we witnessed frequently last season.

Devastating for most of us, this precise Wool Bomber Jacket from Brora is rather pricey at £545. Fortunately, we’ve discovered a comparable design at New Look, which costs just a fraction of that at £49.99 and comes in various colours alongside brown.
Featuring a similar funnel neck design, this Dark Brown Woven Funnel Neck Jacket boasts a laid-back style that’s perfect for layering, while its boxy cut provides a distinctive finish. Naturally, it differs from the original Brora jacket in its closure: rather than a zip and a buckled neckline and hem, it secures with buttons.
Shop the New Look jacket
The Dark Brown Woven Funnel Neck Jacket is available at New Look and has a similar style to Claudia Winkleman’s Brora jacket from Celebrity Traitors.
Customers have been delighted with the New Look jacket, with numerous fashion lovers praising its ‘comfortable’ fit and ‘heavy’ weight. One five-star review stated: “Really lovely jacket. Well designed, true brown colour, fits perfectly (with room to add layers in winter) and is so comfortable.”
Someone else commented: “Lush jacket,” though they did highlight one issue that led them to dock two stars: “Big sizing,” so bear this in mind when placing your order.
Another choice that’s ideal for the autumn weather is this F+F Funnel Neck Zip Up Jacket in Burgundy, £35. It showcases a zip closure behind a placket and a funnel neck that perfectly complements the relaxed fit.
If the buckles are essential, ASOS DESIGN’s 80’s utility short trench jacket in olive is £60 and displays a similar funnel neck secured with a statement buckle; meanwhile, its hem is elasticated. This not only guarantees maximum comfort but also shields from the weather.
