Why We Rated This on for Ages 13 and Up

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    There's a lot of competition and rivalry here, but the series does underscore the importance of professionalism and other skills necessary in the styling field.

  • Role models:

    The featured stylists were chosen based on their talent, but some of them demonstrate sneaky behavior, including one assistant who underhandedly gets special clothes for a client. Other assistants crack under pressure and/or have problems with job expectations.

  • Violence:

    Not an issue.

  • Sex:

    Stylists choose clothes designed to make their clients look “sexy” at award shows and publicity events, etc. The assistants, models, and clients are occasionally seen standing in their underwear.

  • Language:

    Words like “hell” and “pissed” are audible, while curses like “f--k” and “s--t”  are fully bleeped.

  • Consumerism:

    Brands like Betsey Johnson and magazines like Vogue are mentioned. Blackberry phones are visible. Each episode features music that's available for download on Rhapsody.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Alcohol (wine, champagne) is sometimes visible. Jen Rade frequently notes whether the assistants should or shouldn’t be on Valium (but is usually only half serious).
 

What Parents Need to Know

About Styl'd

Parents need to know that this fashion-centric reality series about up-and-coming junior stylists features some catty, sneaky behavior as the stylists vie for a prized contract with an L.A. agency. But the cast members also learn lessons about professionalism, working with clients, and dealing with pressure. Expect some salty language (though words like “f--k” and s--t” are bleeped) and occasional drinking, plust lots of references to/appearances by fashion brands like Betsey Johnson and magazines like Vogue.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about what goes into getting celebrities dressed for major media events. Do all celebs use stylists before they hit the red carpet? Why don’t they dress themselves? Is it really that important for them to look good all the time?
  • How real do you think this experience was? Do you think some of the drama was created for entertainment purposes? Do you think the featured stylists were chosen solely based on their talent or also for their ability to look and sound good on reality television?
