Here we are with the review of the first task!
From now on we are gonna do the recaps with all the entries from the contestants not just our favorites. In that way, the cycle can be followed almost entirely from the blog.
Cycle 15 - Task 1: Disco Ball
For the first task the concept is very simple.
Create an outfit with sequin. Your outfit has to contain
glitter and
shine.
In FM-Style, first task has always been characterized for being the opportunity for contestants to
show their own style, so don’t go simple and put all your creativity into it.
Surprise the judges!
This task was taken from Task 5, on Cycle 4. That cycle winner was MissEquilibrium, who is not on Stardoll anymore. Click here to check the Imgur Album from that cycle.

Hello everyone, Judith here.
Task 1 has left Mireia blind with all that shine and sparkle so I'm going to be doing the review. Get yourself comfortable and enjoy the reading.
When we picked the tasks for this commemorative cycle we chose Disco Ball as the first one cause it was a kind of free task (you could go for any style you felt more comfortable with) but at the same time it had a restriction (hello sequin) that made it a bit of a challenge (since it's not something that we wear everyday). I don't think neither Mireia nor I are big fans of sequin, it's not that we don't like it, cause it's fine, but we don't have that many sequined items or wear it too much, not even for parties, so when we talked about putting this task we both agreed that particular condition could leave us with some amazing and different (out of the box) outfits. And it did! It probably had more to do with the fact that these contestants (hello new faces! hello loyal faces!) are so good than with what the task asked, but still... High five sis!
Not everything went out perfectly though. It has been a quite popular approach to go all in with the sequin. Half of the contestants used more than 1 sequined item and quite a few more than 2, something that surprised me cause we never said or suggested that the more sequin the better, it was just an approach. Unfortunately in most cases this didn't work out for the best and left us with some "could-be-improved" outfits, but hey! It's ok cause there were also two people that didn't complete the task which means no one's getting eliminated, which means that we're going to be that improving for sure in next task.
On the other hand, some managed to make that sequin power work and Rawan (
bornthiswaay) stole the show (again! hello winner of cycle 11!) using two main sequined items (top and pants). I'm not going to lie, it was my favourite outfit in this task too, along with Michal's (
MajkaStar1999).
Other things I liked were: the elegant edgyness of Janette (
janetteLow), Kat's (
pandaribbon) cool shoes, the super mysterious vibes of Sandra (
dobrapogoda) and the cool rockstar vibes of Marion (
lolo72270).
You can see it for yourselves: there's level, there's high standards, there's style and there's TALENT. Don't miss out on this cycle! You can fully follow it on The Stylish Stardoll Sisters where we'll be reviewing week after week or on the club, where Task 2 has already been announced.
