Outrageous Evening Gown – Each contestant will be judged individually while wearing a full-length, outrageous evening gown. The gown may be made from any material, in any color or style, as chosen by the contestant. While creativity is highly encouraged, the gown must still function as an evening gown—meaning it should retain the shape and purpose of a traditional evening gown, even if the design is bold or unconventional. The base garment must stand alone as a complete evening gown. Outrageous elements like headpieces, back pieces, lights, or moving parts are encouraged, but they are considered accessories and will be judged separately. These accessories should enhance, not replace, the gown. Outrageousness can be expressed through: Materials, Theme or subject matter, Conceptual design, Music and staging, Modeling choices and presentation. Successful contestants often combine several of these elements in a cohesive way. However, this is a fashion and modeling category—not a performance number. While performance elements may be included, the focus must remain on the gown and how it is presented. Lip-syncing should be minimal or avoided, and humor is not required.
