Twelve modeltestants arrive at NYC's Bryant Park to meet host Nigel Barker and walk a pop-up runway show as they vie for spots on Team Naomi Campbell, Team Anne V. and Team Lydia Hearst.

Global leader in luxury hair care Frédéric Fekkai and the Supermodel Coaches create new looks for the modeltestants, but before the coaches can build the girls up, they'll have to strip them down for the week's campaign.

The modeltestants pose intimately with complete strangers, in a sexy lingerie campaign for Fleur du Mal. They'll need to find chemistry with their male models in order to stay in the competition. Lydia steps up her game with a more forceful technique.

The moment they've been waiting for is finally here. The remaining modeltestants must dazzle Frederic Fekkai in three of the most difficult challenges yet. In the end, only one will become a spokesperson and ambassador for Frédéric Fekkai's 2014 national ad campaign and win a coveted spread in the July issue of ELLE magazine.

Revered male supermodel Tyson Beckford joins Naomi Campbell to mentor the modeltestants by having them walk an unusual runway in restrictive latex dresses. Designer Pamella Roland launches a new line by having the girls walk a never-before-seen dinner table runway.

The modeltestants learn firsthand that it takes more than a pretty face to be a brand ambassador. They'll have to act in commercial shoots for fast-growing lifestyle brand Alex & Ani, but one team struggles to make the cut.
