This is a fairly new rule, but it was recently implemented to keep the audience looking as fresh as possible. People don’t always wear their Sunday best to Ellen, but if you’re dressed like you’re going to the beach, you may be asked to leave.
Skin is a Cardinal Sin
Ellen doesn’t allow her audience to show off their shoulders or knees. Evidently, this detracts from the show’s ratings.
Showing off excessive skin is a liability to the show. People are not profiled on their race, color, tattoos, or the quality of their clothing, but, there are some exceptions to the rule. According to Ellen’s production team, wearing shorts is a recipe for disaster on live television, and they try to avoid dealing with problems at all costs.
Footwear is Finite
Maybe you like to wear open-toed shoes and high heels when you walk around the city. That’s fine, it just won’t fly on Ellen.
