It's a bit of a send up Kaitlyn, in that exaggeration is used to its finest end. The nominator will often bring other clothing from the fashion victim's closet for additional courtroom laughter.
The Judge will then find the fashion victim either "guilty" or "not guilty". If guilty, the fashion victim must undergo a style makeover.
The TV audience then follows the style offender through his/her fashion makeover until a final Reveal that leaves the courtroom audience oohing and aahing and the jury commenting.
The Look for Less
===============
This is a show also on the Style network and is kind of fun.
The fashion "victim" in this show usually has some very special event in the near future and needs some help with dress preparation. A certain "look" has been chosen directly from the world's fashion runways. With two fashion stylists to help and a budget of $150, the would-be runway star is sent off to try to duplicate the look of the fashion runway through purchase of identical clothing styles that would achieve the same end of glory and beauty as exhibited on the runways.
The threesome run around through cheaper stores than the great fashion houses and manage to find a skirt, top, shoes and other fashion frou-frou that will achieve the look desired.
The fashion victim then is given a sweet hair revamp, puts on the cheaper clothes as purchased, and makes a grand entrance to their previously described special event. Again to the ooohs and aaaahs of all attendees.
Two of these fashion makeover shows are featured on The Learning Channel and they are both my favorites.
What Not to Wear
==============
Well you got to like this show, Kaitlyn, for its name alone.
Again, a fashion victim is "nominated" by friends or family and the two hosts, a woman named Stacey and her male cohort, Clinton. The fashion victim is given a credit card with $5,000 on it and sent off to purchase new and more fashionable clothing.
But not before the fashion victim is given specific instructions from the fashion hosts and agrees to trash their former wardrobe in its entirety before the astonished eyes of the TV audience.
The fashion victim then trots off to various stores and using "the rules" as provided by the hosts, purchases clothing, shoes and other attire that will update wardrobes and improve appearance from this day forward.
