comparing the user's video feed against the reference appearance model based on a predetermined threshold to determine a standard deviation of formality;

detecting, anomalous appearance characteristics associated with the user, wherein the anomalous appearance characteristics is characteristics that is outside the predetermined threshold of a professional image model;

notifying, by the one or more processors, the user of an anomalous appearance, wherein the anomalous appearance is an appearance that is outside a predetermined threshold of the professional image model; and
