Ellen

Ellen knows how to keep her body in shape - she recently lost over 50 pounds! Her family thinks it's time for her to workout her wardrobe. They say she wears stretchy spandex clothes whether she's working out or going out. She chooses clothes that are too young for her, and she pretty much sticks to just one color - black. Fashion experts Stacy London and Clinton Kelly get fitness fanatic Ellen to transform her wardrobe so that it flatters her new body shape and works with her active lifestyle. Hairstylist Nick Arrojo and makeup artist Carmindy create a hair and beauty routine that will work with Ellen's exercise routine.
