A reality TV show in five versions - a seven-season U.K. original and a ten-season U.S. remake, both called ''What Not to Wear'' and now cancelled, the Brazilian ''Esquadrão da Moda'', the Italian ''Ma come ti vesti?!'', and the Russian ''Снимите это немедленно'' ("Snimite eto nemedlenno", literally "Take it off immediately").
A reality TV show currently running in the U.S. based on a cancelled U.K. TV show. Hosts Stacy London and Clinton Kelly ambush badly-dressed people in public places, and inform them that friends and family think they have terrible style. [[Hilarity Ensues]], and eventually the person is revealed to be [[Beautiful All Along]], after a few style tips and a haircut. ▼

* [[Age-Inappropriate Dress]]
* [[Aborted Arc]]: Male makeovers. [[Executive Meddling]] is likely responsible, as the show's audience has long been primarily female. The opening is thus a bit of a [[Fake-Out Opening|fake out]] since it still implies that the show devotes equal attention to both genders.
* [[Beautiful All Along]]: Nearly [[Punctuated! For! Emphasis!|every. single. person.]]
* [[Big Applesauce]]: For most of the U.S. episodes, save specials, the guests are usually shipped to NYC.
* [[Big Beautiful Woman]]: Even the gals who have some weight on them learn how to dress for their body and accentuate their good features. And they look amazing.
* [[Big Breasts, Big Deal]]: A lot of women hide their figure in order to hide the fact that they may have a larger cup size.
Line 19:
* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: most of the nominees at first, on why they don't look good.
* [[Getting Crap Past the Radar]]: References to 'The Girls.'
* [[Face Heel Turn]]:
* [[Fashion Hurts]]: Averted. While being fashionable is the goal of the show, comfort is right up there. Even if it looks good, the hosts contend; if it doesn't feel good, go find something else.
* [[Fashion Show]]: The guest gets to do a strut down an aisle for a final review. Additionally, the 'big reveal' to the guests friends and family qualifies.
* [[Fashion Shop Fashion Show]]: Averted, on the first day it's usually the guest, alone, with just the mute cameraman recording. The second day, it's a gay-man and a fashionista/a couple of fashionistas. Neither one will get bored of you popping out of the changing room. But there will be music!
* [[Get It Over With]]: The way some people cling to their hair, you'd think they are being tortured, or getting ready to be sent to an electric chair.
* [[Hidden Buxom]]: It happens every so often that a woman on the show will find out that her bra size is 5+ sizes too small for her.
Line 43:
* [[What Beautiful Eyes!]]: Stockphrase 1 of 2 for Carmindy.
* [[Worthy Opponent]]: Stacey and Clinton do enjoy a good challenge to the rules. If someone is persistent in their fashion sense, the duo have no problem in verbally sparing it out.
** Trinny and Susannah also had a bit of this, mostly because their guests tend to be stronger-willed.
* [[X Called. They Want Their Y Back.]]
