1979 was a new era for the hit TV series Charlie's Angels. Supermodel Shelley Hack joined Jaclyn Smith and Cheryl Ladd to form Charlie's glamorous new Angel team. Nolan Miller, the wardrobe designer of the series, said, "I begged Aaron to hire Shelley. There was something about her I really liked; I was impressed with her Charlie perfume commercials and how she could create a look just by turning her collar up and putting her hands in her pockets." The wardrobe budget was increased to $20,000 per episode; and, according to People magazine, each Angel was to go through eight costume changes per episode (but it was more like three to five, with Farrah making the most - at eight changes - in "Fallen Angel").

For the episode "Nips and Tucks," Shelley went through six outfit changes. For her first scene, she wore a scarlet-colored silk dress with a scoop neckline and slightly puffed sleeves. Gold earrings and a gold necklace accessorized her look. She next wore a violet-colored skirt suit with a band collar. She accessorized her look with a pocket square, a pair of purple hair clips and a pair of gold hoop earrings. She next wore an all-white short-sleeved nurse's uniform pants set. She finished her look with a white woven belt, a pair of white sneakers and a name tag. She wore this look for several scenes. She next wore an electric blue jumpsuit and finished it off with a wide leather belt. She accessorized her look with a gold necklace. She next wore a nurse's scrub set with cap over her nurse's uniform pants set. She wore this with a face mask which she later removes. For her final scene, she wore a periwinkle-colored jumpsuit with a red lining around the collar, on the inner front plackets and the underside of the self-tie belt. She accessorized her look with a red hair clip and a pair of gold earrings.
