WWD has a hysterical article today on Talk Show dress codes, but not for the hosts - for the audiences!
While Oprah’s producers don’t outlaw outfits - they insist everyone wants to dress up for Oprah - Tyra Banks has the most severe regulations for her clappers and shouters.
According to Stephanie Smith, “In addition to sneakers and T-shirts, “Tyra” bans “extreme hairstyles” of any kind — so no pink mullets. Luckily, the show is more sympathetic toward footwear. On flip-flops, the program recognizes on its Web site that “walking around the city in uncomfortable shoes can be a task. Some change their shoes once they arrive to the taping.” Thanks for the tip.”
We actually really love Tyra (no, really, she’s a new type of business mogul and that’s amazing). But we can’t help compare these rules to the unofficial ones set by some brides before weddings - “Don’t wear white because I’m wearing white; don’t wear heels if you’re taller than me; pull your hair back because mine will be down…”
She may not wear t-shirts and flip flops on her show, but the part about extreme hair?
Please, we’re just waiting for an ANTM challenge where the girls have to replicate every Tyra ‘do on the show… with their eyes closed… while standing on crocodiles… in an igloo.

I think she changed it for New York. I went to the show when it was in L.A. and all they said was "Dress like you're going to club". I'm not even sure what that means.
