Grammy Awards 2013 New Dress Code: No JLo Types Allowed

Culture

Those fortunate enough to attend Sunday's Grammy Awards have been issued a new and conservative dress code that seeks to avoid vulgar outfits during the live CBS ceremony.  

"Buttocks and breasts are adequately covered," bluntily says the email that adds "thong-type costumes are problematic."

Other garments to be avoided at the Grammys are "sheer and see-through clothing" as well as the exposure of the "bare fleshy under curves of the buttock" or the "under curvature of the breasts."

The full advisory email - released by US-based website Deadline - can be read below:

CBS Program Practices advises that all talent appearing on camera please adhere to Network policy concerning wardrobe.

Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered. Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic. Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could  possibly expose female breast nipples. Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible "puffy" bare skin exposure. Please avoid commercial identification of actual brand name products on T-shirts. Foreign language on wardrobe will need to be cleared. OBSCENITY OR PARTIALLY SEEN OBSCENITY ON WARDROBE IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR BROADCAST. This as well, pertains to audience members that appear on camera. Finally, The Network requests that any organised cause visibly spelled out on talent's wardrobe be avoided. This would include lapel pins or any other form of accessory.
