Fashion Show - Five Star Outfit - Cool Theme

In Style Boutique 2/Style Savvy 3, you can hold fashion shows and walk on the catwalk as a model. There are a variety of fashion show themes to choose from and once you have sold enough tickets to hold the show, you get to choose the outfit you wish to wear in the show as well as your make-up and hairstyle.

At the end of each fashion show, the game awards you a rating out of five based on how well your overall outfit matched the theme of the show. For a detailed guide on themes and taking part in fashion shows, please refer to the Fashion Show guide. The game does not give you hints at what specific style will fit the theme and bases your final score on how well your outfit, hairstyle and makeup matches the theme. Multiple styles fall under each category and you need to pick the one you feel best matches the theme.

This guide will look an outfit that received a five star rating. The theme for this fashion show was a cool outfit for Autumn and was the grey sprite theme icon on the theme menu screen. The venue used was the second venue on the venue list which is the orange hued one with the water fountain and teacup display.

Now for the outfit. The clothing items used to create this outfit were:

• Stage Dive - Riveted One-Shoulder (Red)
• AZ-USA - Leather Short Shorts (Purple)
• AZ-USA - Stud Strappy Sandals (Orange)
• AZ-USA - Aviator Sunglasses (Black)

The hairstyle used is the spiky punk with a purple and red colour combination. The make-up set used was the Halloween Highlights set with the default colours (no adjustments made to the set).

After selecting ok after the outfit menu screen, Laurie provided a hint that the outfit fitted the cool theme of the fashion show. Next it was time to hit the catwalk! Here's some screenshots of my character modelling the five star outfit. Be sure the click the effects buttons when taking part in fashion shows as they help hype up audience interest.

Time to see the final score. The outfit fitted perfectly with the cool theme and received five stars. The tricky part with achieving five star outfits is matching the hair and make-up to the theme. A good tip is to pick make-up sets with a good colour palette and match the feel/colour of your clothing items.

After this, Ricky and Laurie will talk to your about your performance. If you have an outfit that is 3 stars or higher, they will usually give you praise. Other NPC's will appear as well giving you feedback about your outfit. Ricky will appear afterwards and give you a miniature item as a gift. You do not receive a special miniature for achieving five stars. 

Whilst trying to figure out how to get five stars in the Cool category, I tried similuar looks to this outfit but they only received three and four stars. The first attempt had the wrong hair colour and the second attempt had too many accessories. The make-up set used was one I designed with a cool look and it brought down the score. I stumbled across a five star outfit posted from a Japanese player and modeled an outfit based around their outfit and it won five stars! It seems accessories don't have much of an effect with fashion show outfits and the outfit received five stars once the colour combination was good and the correct make-up set is chosen. Patterns play a vital role with outfits as it appears high scored outfits feature items with patterns on them. I also tried this same outfit with a different themed cool category fashion show and it still won five stars.

The first attempt.

Still not five star worthy.
