Content summary
Each episode features an "ambush" style confrontation and a woman's overhaul, and sometimes a man, who has been nominated by their friends as very unfashionable. Subjects have their latest fashion sense evaluated. The presenters are very concerned about the body shape and self-image of the participants (with the help of a 360-degree mirror cabinet) and determine what is best for them. Participants were then given £ 2000 to shop for new clothes, which should be in accordance with the advice given. Although they are free to spend what they want, they are spied on and given advice on fashion ways by two hosted shows.
Trinny and Susannah are often known for their tactile behavior with the participants and often refer to the breasts as "breasts". They are also famous for their direct comments on the show, where Trinny's comments have reduced some of the participants to tears, and Susannah once spontaneously pulled on the woman's underwear during the filming when her underwear line was spotted.
Episode format
Participants are nominated by their friends and relatives for being very out of date. The show then quietly followed and recorded the video of the nominated participants for two weeks. At the end of two weeks, fashion experts review the secret recordings and prepare to surprise the participants. During a surprise visit, participants are offered a check for £ 2,000 to buy a new wardrobe. But they have to hand over all their existing wardrobe and get ready for some harsh criticism and to accept fashion suggestions from two experts.
On the first day of the participants' visit to the studio, there was a review of the secret recording along with the participants. On videotapes, there is usually a comment from family members and friends about the style and appearance of the participants. The experts then examined all of their clothes, which had been brought by the participants. They criticize the goods and then most of the clothes are thrown away or even cut with scissors. Participants are asked to wear clothes, which they like and think best suited to their figures, and then have to face a 360 degree mirror. The experts commented on why the clothes did not suit them. Experts advise throughout the day and then present three different outfits to the participants to help illustrate the rules they must follow when they shop for new clothes.
Participants were then given two days to shop for new clothes at suitable and selected locations. On the first day, they are submitted to their own devices, to test how much they have learned about which clothes "fit" and obey the rules. On the second day, the experts ambushed the nominee and commented on whether the previous day's purchase corresponded to the correct guide line about which outfit to buy. The second day, the fashion teacher sits in the cafe and watches live video footage of the participant's shopping and comments on whether participants follow the rules. If participants are struggling, they rush to the scene to help. Experts then accompany the participants around the shops, provide advice and assistance, often being critical.
After all the shopping, hairdressers and makeup artists work on their hair and makeup. After the makeover, the participants reveal themselves to the experts and taken to a full-size mirror to see their circumstances change. Participants modeled three outfits for experts, often showing confidence and calm. Participants leave and, shortly thereafter, reveal themselves to their changed appearance to their friends and family. Some time after the participants makeover, fashion experts pay them a surprise visit, to determine if they have obeyed the rules for their outfits.
In the next series, the format changes. It sees the host receiving hundreds of videos from certain groups of people who have nominated themselves for a makeover, not someone else nominating them. There are selected groups such as women who face menopause and those who have lost partners. The host has to watch and select five people from this video, who they think they need help with. The five elected candidates are then invited to the studio where they will be interviewed about why they think they need a makeover ÃÆ' la What Not To Use . Then two candidates are selected and offer a Makeover What is Not Used . The series also sees the host spending a day as two participants, where they will drive their car, work at their job and stay in their home. There, they will get the husbands to eat, meet their close relatives and explore the wardrobe of the participants to dispose of the "unsuitable" clothing. The rest of the episodes will retain the format seen in the previous series.
