U.S. broadcaster CBS has sent a wardrobe advisory to performers and attendees of the Grammy Awards Ceremony explaining a number of detailed restrictions regarding costumes in advance of the 55th Annual Grammy Awards on Feb.10, Daily Mail has reported.

CBS asked all attendees to "adhere to network policy concerning wardrobe," which requires "buttocks and female breasts [be] adequately covered."

The broadcaster asked celebrities to "avoid sheer, see-through clothing that could possibly expose female breast nipples."

The restrictions are directed mostly at female attendees, adding, "bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic."
