What Not to Wear

Friends and family members nominate a candidate that they consider poorly dressed and ask the show to make over the "fashion victim." Fashion Police Stacy London and her partner ambush the candidate and make them an offer-- they are given a $5000.00 budget for a new wardrobe, which they must purchase in New York City boutiques over the course of two days, but only on the condition that they allow Stacy & her partner to critique, and in most cases throw out, their existing wardrobe.

Melissa, 25, recently joined the ranks of New York's finest, so at work she wears the proud uniform of an NYPD officer. However, friends and family say that Melissa chooses to dress just like her twin when she's not walking her beat — problem is, her twin is her brother. She hides herself in oversized men's clothes, and Melissa's mother believes that there's no reason for her to wear pants that can fit two people. No one has ever seen her wear a skirt — and everyone wants to blow the whistle on her mammoth wardrobe. Stacy and Clinton prepare to rescue Melissa from an endless lumpy sweater collection and to outfit her in clothes more appropriate for a woman. But they have a tough assignment ahead of them because Melissa is wedded to and very comfortable in her supersized ""skater dude"" look. Hairstylist Nick Arrojo and make-up artist Carmindy need to polish up Melissa without overwhelming her … though after peeling back all the heavy layers, Melissa may even surprise herself.
