chosen by Benedetta to share such opportunity, much to the other contestants' jealousy. After days of runway training the girls are driven to Antonio Riva's atelier, there they will be showing his collection of bridal gowns accompanied by the male models dressed as grooms. Alice and Ginevra show a perfect mastery of the runway in their respective performances and the designer points them as his own favorites. Francesca faces an obstacle while going up the catwalk and stops before tripping, but she eventually manages to recover from this mistake by delivering her performance on the catwalk. At panel Ilaria gets unanimous praises for her elegant and refined performance that still confirms her as one of the best walkers in the group. Alice gets praised for her movements by Giusi but Alberto finds her too cold and apathetic on the catwalk, while other judges disagree with this.
