A larger-than-life runway display kicks off the inaugural ball. Fashion houses Lanvin, Balmain, Gucci, and others hit the runway to debut their new collections and vie for the title of Superior House.
The brands look to the fairy stories of old for inspiration in their latest set of challenges that emphasize various bodily qualities, including hair, skin, and skill at walking in unison.
Wesley announces this week's challenge is a "Circus Bezerkus" themed ball where the remaining seven houses are required to choreograph and perform a group showcase for the judges.
Wesley then announces this week's challenge is a "Wild Wild West" themed money ball where the remaining six houses are required to walk in three categories: Come Up and See Me, Sheriff of Seduction, and Mannequin Showcase.
The Houses summon their inner extraterrestrials for an out-of-this-world function, "Rise of the Fembots;" then, competitors serve daring, high-fashion bizarre in "Take Me to Your Leader."
