Episode 2

First aired: September 14, 2013

For the week's challenge, the girls had to create outfits using garments from "Basement". Johana, Danea and Laura excelled, while Lorena, Giordana and Mishell struggled. Giordana's outfit was deemed the worst because the clothes did not match, the outfit was not styled properly and she didn't pull off the oversized pants, while Johana won the challenge, which earned her a S/.3,000 worth shopping spree from Basement, courtesy of Saga Falabella.

Drama occurred in the house between Danea, Molly and Johana when Danea accused Johana of talking about her behind her back and the other girls, particularly Molly, join in the accusation. Molly and Johana fight, leaving Danea guilty for starting it.

For the photo shoot, the girls posed on a platform at Gamarra, rocking over-the-top styling. Most girls were confident in the shoot, while some girls such as Mishell and Danea were tense and worried. Some girls such as Sharinna and Sami struggled with their outfits but still produced good pictures.

At panel, Giordana's photo was praised by the judges. Sharinna was told her picture was bold but not good, but she was congratulated by the judges for correcting herself and for her original hairstyle at panel. Laura was told she was the best and was praised for her originality and pulling off unconventional poses. Mishell was criticized for lack of attitude in panel and not having diversity of poses. Gianna is told she is one of the few with attitude in her face, while the other contenders had the attitude in their body. Sami was praised for not looking at the camera but the judges did not like how her face was hidden in her photo.

Laura won best photo, earning her a laser treatment, while Mishell and Lorena landed in the bottom two for not owning their beauty and making it high fashion. Ultimately, Mishell was eliminated for not having any attitude in panel.
