Banned: CBS sent a Wardrobe Advisory to Grammy attendees, banning outfits like Lady Gaga's that 'expose bare buttocks,' and 'be sure the genital region is adequately covered - no visible “puffy” bare skin exposure'

The email which was leaked to Deadline and came attached with an image of Pink performing in a barely-there costume at the 2010 Grammys, added: 'Thong type costumes are problematic. 

Unacceptable vs. acceptable: Toni Braxton's 2001 Grammy outfit breaks all CBS' new wardrobe policy (left), however Beyonce's 2008 backless dress, showing no breasts or buttocks would pass (right)

Bare-all vs. bare a little: Plunging necklines (like J. Lo's famous Versace dress, left) are banned because they 'bare sides or under curvature of the breasts,' but Nelly Furtado's V-neck dress gets the go ahead (right)

The requirements, directed mostly at female awards attendees, also include the specific instruction to 'avoid sheer see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples.'

Sheer tops: The requirements also instruct women to 'avoid see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples' (like Terry Thatcher, left) but it is unclear if a bra worn underneath is ok (Fergie, right)

Women only? The requirements, directed mostly at female attendees, ask that 'buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered' - Christina Agularia (left) might not pass, but Eva Longoria (right) would scrap through

Too much vs. just right: Singer Nadeea at the Grammy Awards in 2010 baring too much breast according to the new wardrobe standards (left); whereas Taylor Swift's similarly cut dress would be deemed acceptable

However, those modest few who like to use the red-carpet as a sounding board for meaningful (or provocative) statements will also have to tow the line.
