Why We Rated This on for Ages 10 and Up

The good stuff

  • Messages:

    There's lots of encouragement for the contestants, even when they lose. Several of the contestants talk about going after their dreams, and a couple talk about this being their second chance at a dream they gave up.
 

What to watch out for

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.
  • Sex:

    Not an issue.
  • Language:

    Not an issue.
  • Consumerism:

    The show's subject matter ties in to our celebrity-focused culture's obsession with labels and designer fashion. The sign for one non-chain fabric store (an obscure place buried within L.A.'s garment district) and their bags are shown.
  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Who Are You Wearing?

Parents need to know that because this show is about designing gowns/ensembles for red-carpet events at which celebrities are interviewed and photographed, there's a significant emphasis on image (as well as the culture of labels and designer fashion). But that emphasis is to be expected, given the show's context. Contestants get lots of encouragement, and there's no iffy sexual content, violence, or language to worry about. All of that said, kids may not be particularly interested unless they're into fashion.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what it's like to be a celebrity and get photographed for magazines and at events. Is the stars' "image" in those situations really as important as the celebrity culture would have us believe? What do you think it would be like to know you could be photographed anytime and anywhere? Would that change what you wore?
