Melanie Lapatton (3x2)

Date de diffusion: Oct 22, 2004

Melanie, 44, is a former world champion ballroom dancer who now runs the Dance Times Square Studio in New York City. Vogue magazine has described this studio as ""the most fashionable place to learn to dance in New York."" While the venue may be fashionable, Melanie certainly isn't. She left fashion behind when she stopped competing, and now wears ill-fitting clothes — some too tight and some too baggy. And worst of all, she only wears one color — black! In this special episode of What Not to Wear, Melanie was surprised live on air! Clinton and Stacy will have one week to bring the sparkle and color back into her wardrobe, and to convince monochromatic Melanie that stepping off the competitive dance floor doesn't have to mean stepping off the fashion catwalk.
