The contestants were given their first challenge, in which they had to walk in a fashion show in front of a live audience wearing couture dresses. Trang was declared the winner of the challenge, winning a $5,000 shopping spree at Wisma Atria. For the week's photo shoot, they portrayed "quirky girls" while modelling clothes from Reckless Ericka. Helena's photo was declared the best of the week. Kyla and Melissa were the bottom two, with Kyla being the first contestant eliminated from the competition.

The contestants modeled in VIP private fashion show for designer Thomas Wee at the L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon at Resorts World Sentosa. Trang was the challenge winner, and her prizes were a demi-couture outfit from Wee and dinner at the restaurant with two other contestants of her choice (Aastha and Stephanie). The week's photo shoot took place at the former Tanjong Pagar railway station, with the contestants portraying "virtual princesses" and modeling designs from the fall/winter 2012 Prada collection in groups. The group of Aastha, Bei Si, Sofia and Trang were declared the best-performing group at the photo shoot and their photograph was selected to be featured in Harper's Bazaar Singapore. Aastha was declared the best performer overall, with Jee and Stephanie being the bottom two. Neither of them were eliminated due to Monica's withdrawal from the competition due to a family emergency.
