Bingbing may be China's biggest actress right now, but this is why she is also a fashion icon, and qualified as a model in this competition. I've seen this fashion show, and I know Bingbing looked really nervous while walking, but it doesn't read here. I think this is absolutely fantastic. She looks much taller than 5' 6", and those eyes give us sultry, rather than sleepy. If there's one thing, I wish it were more centred and a portrait shape rather than landscape.
Rose, it's on the smaller side, and it's a bit blurry. And I'm wearing my glasses. The dress is beautiful, and your make up and hair is done beautifully. It does look a bit matronly, though. The only thing that's really letting this picture down is the quality.
Finally, Lara. I know that you know I would check if this cosplay is legit, because I think we both know this has been photoshopped to hell and back so I trust you. Obvious photoshopping aside, I think this picture lacks the energy, the presence and power we all associate with Lara Croft. The face and pose are too timid and sweet really be serving us Lara Croft. I know from personal experience that trying to nail the video game icon cosplay. There's a lot of pressure to succeed, and do the character justice.

Regarding Lara, I went with that shot because it was the best one I found from a strictly visual aesthetic perspective. I wasn't aware that accurate character representation was a criteria for this shoot. And, yes, I did double check that it's a flesh and blood person in the photo.  |

I do have previous seasons judging and jury rooms open to see exactly how we scored each cycle. I'll admit to adding in accuracy to outfit and accuracy to personality this cycle, because I realised fashion content doesn't really apply for cosplay.

Bingbing, I love everything about this shot. Nothing else needs to be said cause I wouldn't change a thing.
Rose, I can see how the dress might be a bit on the matronly side, but I don't think it's fully there. I like the little asymmetric twist on the dress under the bust; adds a little something interesting to it. You're styled beautifully and I love your smile here.
Lara, the shot may be heavily photoshopped, but I don't think it's in a way that detracts from the shot itself, so I' fine with that. Even if I didn't know who you were playing as, I feel like I'd easily be able to identify your character, so I think you have the character accuracy down, too. It's not the most interesting pose we'll see from a fictional character this round, but it's still a good pose. I'm a fan of this shot.
