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.

What Not to Wear

At age 24, Morna still dresses like a slouchy college student. She works for a major cosmetics company in Manhattan's classy Rockefeller Center â€” but in billowing skirts, worn-out sandals and an actual headband. After being filmed secretly for weeks while her friends have conspired with host Jillian Hamilton, Morna gets the shock of her life when fashion stylists Wayne Scot Lukas and Stacy London ambush her during lunch with her friends. Wayne and Stacy show her the secret footage before weeding out her closet's catastrophes. But Morna doesn't give in easily. The stylists have a fight on their hands. Then it's on for a hair and makeup overhaul with hair stylist Nick Arrojo and makeup artist Carmindy Bowyer.

Donna, 47, works as a sales rep for a printing company on Long Island, near New York City. She talks to clients on the phone ... good thing, given that she wears seasonal items and '70s leftovers. Sweaters with pumpkins, fall leaves and ice skaters, plus dickeys and culottes fill Donna's wardrobe â€” to her family's despair. After What Not to Wear host Jillian Hamilton conspires with Donna's family and friends, it's up to fashion stylists Wayne Scot Lukas and Stacy London to drag Donna away from kitsch. After culling the most horrific items and forcing her to face how bad these clothes look on her in a 360-degree mirror, Wayne and Stacy send Donna shopping with strict new rules and $5,000, before a complete hair and makeup overhaul. But Donna's been dressing like a Christmas tree for a long, long time. Can she learn simplicity and style â€” in one short week?

She came to the city seven years ago and is now on the brink of success, meeting with world-class conductors and high-powered managers, and running around town auditioning for roles. When Kerry performs she sounds terrific, the trouble is she looks like she's just come off the farm. The raw ingredients for the What Not To Wear team?

She loves to go to yoga and Pilates classes and is barely over 5 feet tall. She wears a size ""0"" which may account for why she never throws any of her clothes away. But according to her closest and dearest friends, that's no reason to still have poofy hair and Flashdance sweats.

Stacy and Clinton must introduce Marie to the world of color, and show her that accents of color can still be professional.

Carmindy gives them simple makeup tips to recreate the 40's and 60's looks, respectively.

Her friend Kristin tells us that after she lost her job with the travel agency, she also lost her focus and drive to finish her education and join the adult work force. At the grocery Larissa is forced to wear a uniform (a green shirt and black pants), which stifles her style and encourages her to roll out of bed and head straight for work. It is common for Larissa to leave for work with her hair sticking up at all angles, wearing last night's make up (sometimes on one eye) and a dirty or stained uniform. She also works one day a week in an office where she tries to adapt her inappropriate (often sheer halter top club

However, according to her friends Diana isn't dressed for success; in fact they say she's dressed for attention. Diana is passionate about shopping and spends time in stores every day, but she's attracted to trends that don't necessarily flatter her and she hunts down the latest labels in discount stores. She's overloaded with glitzy hats and accessories, and for bad hair days she has a selection of wigs.
