While Claudia Winkleman will always be our best dressed in the castle – anyone who dresses like Chewbacca in June deserves their flowers – the celebrities have been serving looks to rival her in this series of Celebrity Traitors. And there's a style to suit everyone, whether you're a fan of Romesh and Hannah's colourful, cosy knits, you like Leigh-Anne and Myha'la's tailoring-with-a-twist or you're more 'I skinned Honey Monster and turned him into a coat' like Maya. And then there's James Blunt and his mission-wear.
With so many great outfits, it can be hard to keep track, so we've had a look back and ranked our favourite fashion moments from the celebs so far (Claudia excluded). These are all our highlights, including where to shop the actual pieces or alternatives from the high street, below.
And no, Ross Kemp and his breathable, all-black-everything Gorp-core wardrobe did not make the cut. Though he would be the person we'd hide behind if we were suddenly ambushed in the Scottish Highlands.
14. Julie Hesmondhalgh's red dress
We'll start at the very beginning and the red dress that stood out in the chapel. Corrie's Julie has since said that she thinks it was part of the reason her game plan of going under the radar went out the window so quickly. Well, no regrets, we say, and the fact she outshone all the other celebs in their best looks (including Joanne McNally's bright pink cow-print denim two-piece and Joe Lycett's shorts suit) is testament to the impact of a great frock. No word on where it's from but we've found some chic options from H&M.
13. Jerry Hall's castle cosplay
Jerry is cosplaying in the castle, whether it's embracing tartan (with some Texan cowboy boots) or channelling her favourite sleuth in her Miss Marple suit. Well, they do say, dress for the job you want. Her approach to fashion (and, seemingly, life) is definitely more is more and, as viewers have pointed out on social media, she has got a touch of the Moira Rose (from Schitt's Creek) about her. As she descends further into Moira (The Crows Have Eyes) madness, we can only hope the looks get even more extreme. Her tartan shawl is from Lochcarran of Scotland and available for pre-order, while the cardigan is Thom Browne, but we've found similar looks for less.

12. Amol and James Acaster's Rodney and Del Boy moment
This somehow feels like it happened six months ago, but was only last week. Amol's Del Boy sheepskin coat, combined with James A's lanky frame and Rodney-esque look inspired one of our favourite memes of the series and made us want a sheepskin and suede jacket of our own. Luckily, the high street has embraced the 1970s style for autumn.
11. The Honey Monster coat
Is it just us or does this picture look like a Renaissance painting? At no. 11, we have the coat that sparked a thousand memes. It was actually an Agro Studio giant-shoulder Mongolian bolero, but the internet anointed it the Honey Monster coat. Great for keeping warm, probably not the best for flying under the radar on your second day as a Traitor. However, it doesn't seem to have derailed Maya's game plan. Maybe she's taking a leaf out of civilian winner Stephen Libby's playbook. Use your wardrobe as a visual distraction so they don't suspect.
10. James Acaster in barn coats. A series.
Now officially the internet's boyfriend, comedian James Acaster is the standout star of the show for many. The most faithful of traitors, we hope he doesn't crack under the pressure. But while he might be showing the strain, his wardrobe of boxy Carhartt-style jackets look as cool as anything. Pair with a white T-shirt, jeans and a constant air of anxiety. The brown jacket pictured is old Zara Men, but we've found a similar style to a jacket he wore for the roundtable at Nobody's Child.

We also want to shout out this check jacket from episode five's mission.
9. Joanne 'strong and wrong' McNally's colourful tailoring
You can't fault Joanne's enthusiasm but she has failed to spot a Traitor even when he was sat right in front of her saying he's a Traitor. Still, we're here for the funny theories – it's Ross Kemp because 'his eyes don't close' – and the outfits. Her lilac shirt and tie are from ENEK (the Eos shirt and tie) but we've found an alternative at ASOS Design.
8. Michael Sheen's leopard print
Apart from the enthusiastic singing in the cabin challenge, Michael Sheen has somehow managed to keep a very low profile. But, he's starting to warm up and we certainly spotted that short-sleeve leopard print shirt at the roundtable in episode five. Is the big dog stirring? Michael's shirt is the All Saints Loepardone Linen Blend Shirt, which is still available in an XS and is a great unisex design.
6. Bella Ramsey's scarfigan
Bella definitely went too soon. We were enjoying their outfits, their approach to the game and their relationship with Bash. This Damson Madder knit has been one of our favourite looks of the series so far. The Anouk Cardigan is oversized with a removable hood tied like a scarf. Ideal for draughty Scottish castles.

5. Hannah Fry's rainbow knits
Mathematician and reluctant Traitor, Hannah, brightened our screens with a series of colourful knits from Essentiel Antwerp. The rainbow jumper was our favourite but sadly sold out now. Instead, we'll be snapping up the new-season take on her bright yellow cardigan from breakfast.

4. Sharon Rooney's football pitch cardigan
We're really into the knit-y gritty of it now. Traitors has long been known for its fabulous knitwear and the celebs aren't disappointing this year. Sharon has been fairly quiet, apart from a few fabulous one-liners such as “All I had to go on was you literally saying you're a Traitor” to Richard at the roundtable. But we have to recognise this fabulous football cardigan. It is the Next Green/Blue Football Scene Cardigan, which is sadly now out of stock (the problem with the show being in June and stylists shopping from previous season winter stock).
3. Romesh's chartreuse cardigan
We know this isn't the most exciting knit we've had on the show or even the most exciting thing Romesh has worn (shout out to those plaid shackets), but we just want to wrap ourselves up in that chartreuse cardigan and forget about hunting Traitors (or missing our comedy buddies lost in treacherous games of hide and seek). We've found a similar mohair cardigan to shop for those days when you're a little bit sad at breakfast.

2. Leigh-Anne and Myha'la's embellished jackets
We couldn't separate Leigh-Anne and Myhla's fabulous jackets at the top. Both are vintage. Myha'la's tweed jacket from the first episode is Moschino, while Leigh-Anne's military style design is by DEAT. We've found a similar military style at Zara and while we can't find a look-a-like for the Moschino, Sister Jane is always a good go-to for embellished, fantastical jackets.
1. Everything James Blunt has worn to date
From his Top Gun mission look to his Royal Tenenbaums tracksuits and the pale yellow suit, James Blunt is serving look after look. The sweatband alone is just perfect. The green tracksuit is giving Squid Game. We must protect James in this competition at all costs.
Think nobody does it better than Claudia? We've got all her outfits from this series too, plus where to shop them.
