Kayla is up first, and her hair has crossed the line to whackness. But maybe that's appropriate given her portrayal of Vivienne Westwood. Nigel tells her that it's very striking and strong in the eyes, and is one of her best shots. He really sees the model in her. Francesco says that Kayla really went for it, and wasn't afraid to express herself. ALT is convinced that Kayla is Vivienne, and Tyra loves the fire in Kayla's face. She also loves that Kayla outshone the other model in the shot. Liz is next, and actually gets kudos from ALT for her ensemble. Her Galliano photo gets raves. Despite the top hat and extensions and pencil moustache, Nigel says that the photo is subtle. It would be easy to take Galliano to crazy lengths, but Liz kept it controlled. Francesco says that Liz came on set convinced that she was Galliano, and it looks like she studied the character. This is particularly impressive since she had no idea who he was. ALT says that Liz caught his body gestures and the subtlety of his theatricality. Also, she looks like a man. Liz rightly takes this as a compliment for once. Tyra tells Liz that she has the gift of androgyny, and she has bone structure that gives her sexuality, sensuality and strength. She needs to work it, because it's magic.
Chelsey is up next, portraying Miss Class, Miss Style, Miss Starched White Shirt, Carolina Herrera. Nigel says that it's stunning, and that it's Chelsey's best photo so far. Her face looks so funny, though! Nigel does add that she lacks charm in the photo. ALT says that it's a Carolina Herrera moment, and she looks fantastic. Esther's Christophe Decarnin photo is next, and Nigel tells her that it's too over the top. He sees Esther in costume, and can't get past that. Somewhat paradoxically, Francesco tells Esther that there's not enough of herself in it. Tyra tells Esther that she's lost her amazing bone structure by being too lax in her face. When portraying a man, you want to clench your jaw and get a little bonier of face. Her Christophe looks kind of like a handsome guy, but he isn't as handsome as Esther is beautiful.
