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.

Maria was taught by her mother that wearing black clothing was only for mourning, so she always wears bold, bright solid colors from head to toe. To that end, she has over 40 pairs of multi-colored matching shoes. Clinton and Stacy help Maria to understand that colors and patterns can be mixed and matched to create a bold style that isn't so loud. Maria complains to Nick that she has difficulty controling her frizzy afro style hair, so he gives her a shorter more manageable style hairdo.
