Other stipulations include wearing heels that are at least 2cm tall and wearing make-up us a must, the New Zealand Herald reported.
The airline even goes as far as to specify that make-up must include eye make-up, light foundation and either a tinted moisturiser or powder.

"While the rest of society has moved on, Norwegian is stuck in the Mad Men universe from the 50s and 60s."
An airline spokesperson said: "Like all global airlines, Norwegian has a comprehensive set of uniform guidelines to ensure that our flying crew represent our brand in a smart and consistent manner.
"The guidelines were drafted with input from our pilot and cabin crew colleagues and have been well received, sharing many gender commonalities in addition to some specific male and female requirements."
