Janice: First up, a technical note on sizing I know you addressed, I understand how sometimes resizing affects quality, but they are on the big side.
Let's start with Jourdan, the skirt is fabulous, and the walk is strong, however, the top for the fashion looks a bit too late 80s/early 90s. And that face, it's not good. You're giving us middle aged mother trying to be cool with a duck face - you look really tired too. You are giving us a lot of presence in that walk though.
On to Alicia, I think yellow is a great colour for her. Neck down, absolutely gorgeous, but the dress lacks detail, and when you're up against someone like Selena Gomez and Rose Byrne on the red carpet, you need to really bring it. I feel like there might be other yellow-dress options that would be better than this. Hair is styled okay, but it looks like a shake-and-go wig. Still, yellow is an amazing colour on Alicia.
Finally, Kida. This one's your best picture. Sizing doesn't seem like an issue because the forum automatically resized it. That one extended leg is amazing, but the other one, I don't know what could be done to improve it, but I feel some uncomfortable rearranging could do the trick. Face is great. Wig needs some work, but all else is great. Except, you know, because it's not overly photoshopped, the setting is out of place, but I know that can't be helped.
Hel: You already know what I would say about the sizing, so there's no need for me to go there.
Jourdan, I love the fashion and the styling, but your face is not the best it could be here. I agree with Janice that it looks a bit aged here.
Alicia, it's definitely a beautiful dress, but I don't know that it's going to be as memorable fashion-wise as other dresses we'll see during this shoot. You are nicely accessorized and your hair's beautiful, too.
Kida, you've definitely nailed the representation of your character here. I like that you were also able to incorporate some nice posing, too. Easily your best shot of the three. Good work.
Emma: Jourdan perfection
Alicia I don't like
Kida beautiful

Janice: 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.
Hel: 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.
Emma: Bing gorgeous
Rose....better than Alicia
Lara I like this

Janice: Why must you always post everything in reverse to how I set my critiques up? D:Cara:
Selena:
Snow White:
With Cara, I'm not sure what's going on that outfit, especially the lower half with that black thing with gold hearts under the semi-sheer skirt, but I'm really on the fence about it. Not sure about those shoes either. You've got a lot of good things going on with this too, great face, great styling, great presence, great walk.
That dress and pose on Selena is absolutely gorgeous. The outfit looks like a wardrobe malfunction, but it's totally on purpose, and I love it. Love the shoes too. I don't particularly have any negatives on this one.
Snow White, I love the take on the outfit, but it's not entirely accurate. One of the things we look for in cosplays in this competition is its accuracy to the character, which includes attitude and outfit. This updated look, with the tattoos, and cleavage is beautiful, but not accurate at all past the colour scheme. Most other things though, great.
Hel: Cara, I'm not really as torn about Janice when it comes to your skirt...
I HATE IT!!!
And here I thought we were done with the other Hel... Yeah, I don't like the skirt and not a big fan of the undies underneath. Other than the skirt, I do really like the rest of your shot, though. As Janice stated, your face, styling, and walk are all great.
Selena, you're giving us the most interesting dress this round. I didn't like it at first, but it's growing on me because it's different. I do like your styling and you just look beautiful here.
Snow White, there's something about this that feels a bit off to me.
You look like a porn star!
I don't think she means that you're being vulgar here, but that the way you're styled combined with your posing and possibly even the lighting is giving off the vibe that this could be the start of an adult film. The tattoos also conflict with the character representation. I don't see a problem with the outfit, though. Your hair's also styled really nicely, too.
Emmal: Cara is great BUT doesn't compare to the other two but Cara is a really good model
Selena is perfection overload.......like spot on with Jourdan and Bing
Snow.......I'm sorry.......do not like at all
