On the left, we have our LA contender Sandra (84.8% Perfection!/ 12.0% So close/ 2.2% I feel strangely ambivalent about it/ 1.1% Who did this to you?) wearing a Veronica M dress, vintage belt, and Marciano shoes.

On the right, we have our NYC contender Laura (51.9% Perfection!/ 14.7% So close/ 19.8% I feel strangely ambivalent about it/ 10.9% Who did this to you?) wearing rolled-up H&M jeans, a Tommy Hilfiger top, Vans shoes, and Bose headphones. Her bag is from a thrift shop.
