Theme 1: Colors
- Non-monochromatic, bright, colorful and exciting photo.

Theme 2: Vintage
- Classic, old era, and vintage fashion.

Theme 3: Beach
- Tropical, white sand and crystal blue water.

Theme 4: Havana by Camila Cabello
- Interpretation of the meaning of the song.

As much as possible DO NOT relate it to the whole country of Cuba, there will be time for you to showcase that. So take the theme as it is, no need to look for deeper meanings.

I came with a Tropical idea. Beach, light clothing and a calm breeze.

I'm living for my vintage flapper girl outfit with an additional Havana flare to it! I'd be the most contraversial belle of the party!

Cuba beaches have amazing blue water. I'm embracing the beautiful beach by surfing! Not only am I giving off an elegant pose, but I am also representing the crystal water with my shiny dress. I'm excited to make the most of my time here in Havana.

Violet Chachki- Vintage

I am serving a pin up vintage style and I’m just in the kitchen checking my hair and mug while waiting for my hubby to get home.

==Challenge #9 - Colorful==

I'm taking a risk here because I don't really serve bright and colorful shots but here I want to portray that and I think I served it!

Milla Jovovich - Vintage

Here I am bringing on some 1920-1930s mafia realness! Nothing speaks more on vintage than reliving the times were Italian mafias were prevalent. They were known for being sleek and calm, but very ruthless and cold when they need the job done in a proper way. I have my backup security with me but nothing else matters because I am the full focus.

Vintage

I'm serving you 60s black & white high fashion flower power realness 🌼✌✌🌼
Back then they were about breaking boundaries in fashion,  peace and love, being free and having fun. They Also had these specific dresses, A '60s waist-less tent dress and that was my inspiration for this photo.

Lenox's Comments:
Thought I'd give em a bit earlier than expected!

I'm going to judge them individually, but group your comments based on the category you chose. (Very happy none of you chose the song, havana.)
With that being said, those of you who chose the same theme, will be somewhat compared with each other, whilst i comment, but your overall score will be solely based on what you presented to me.

BEACH:

Nam JooHyuk- I really like this photo. Something about it draws me in and keeps me captivated. The posing is awkward, without being weird. Your facial expression is great. I'm glad you did not disappoint here! Great job!

Lupita Nyong'o- To me, this wasn't your strongest shot. I'd say this is one of your weaker ones. And it might be because what you've presented thus far has been amazing, but this feels a bit... not safe. That's not the right word. Lackluster, for lack of a better term. I wanted it to WOW me, but it just didn't quite hit the mark.

Lee Sun-mi-  This shot is fun! I like what you did with it. It feels a bit camp without being basic. It's cute and you look like you're about to have a fun day at the beach. Your shot is very commercial, in the best way. It makes me want to go out and buy the top your wearing. Great job!

VINTAGE:

Mia Goth- I like this a lot. I feel I'm looking at a different side of you as a model. It's showing off a bit of personality and i think it suits you very well. I think you've done a great job this week, thus far.

Violet Chachki- I can definitely see the vintage in the shot, but what i'm missing is the normal Violet spark in the shot itself. You look a bit lost in the shot and I know you can and have done better. With that all being said, i think you did a pretty decent job with this challenge.

Milla Jovovich- I see what you were going for with this shot, but it misses the mark for me. I'm not really reading vintage with this shot. The idea was great, i think the execution could've been handled a bit better.

Taylor Swift- Okay. I'm going to be completely honest. I am in love with this shot. I think that you hit the mark 100%. I don't even think you needed the reference photo and i would've gotten in the second i saw it. The reference photo only shows me that you're doing your homework and putting in the work! Fantastic job this week!

COLORS:

Dua Lipa- You have the advantage of performing in  a category of your own. You either fail here, or rise above and excel without any competition to stop you. For me i think you did the latter. This shot gives exactly what you wanted it to and i absolutely loved it. Fantastic job!

My Top 3 for this challenge in no particular order are:
Dua Lipa
Taylor Swift
Nam JooHyuk

Well, who would have thought we won't be waiting a day for this, haha! Thank you, Judge Lenox. That being said, I will be posting the results today, May 15, at 6 AM EST. Thank you and Goodluck! x

The winner of the challenge will be getting a huge prize that may affect the game's standing this week. You would want to stick around after the results as well.
