Keep reading as we explain the new Style Showdown mode in Dress to Impress.
What is Style Showdown in Dress to Impress?
Style Showdown is a competitive mode in Dress to Impress where players face off in timed fashion challenges based on specific themes. Each round, participants create outfits using their wardrobes and accessories to fit the chosen prompt as closely as possible. After styling, players vote on each other’s looks, and points are awarded based on creativity, theme accuracy, and presentation. The mode encourages originality and quick thinking, rewarding players who can adapt their fashion sense to different situations.
Style Showdown is the competitive game mode in Dress to Impress. To start playing, go to the Style Showdown tab and queue with 9 other players. Fan favorite nail lady Lana will host this survival of the most stylish player.
In this DTI game mode, your primary aim is to survive all the rounds until the very end. Every round, you must vote for the three best outfits. The number of people voting lowers as more players get eliminated. Based on the votes, whoever has the lowest amount will get eliminated.
If there is a draw for the lowest votes, host Lana will pick a random contestant to eliminate. In certain rounds, you must go in a 1v1 against other teammates in the Pose Sync battle to survive.
If you don’t want to get eliminated, you can purchase a limited game pass called ‘Immunity‘ for 249 Robux. Once you win a round in DTI Style Showdown, you get Style Stars. You will also lose Style Stars if you do not vote for enough players. These Stars are separate ranking points from the ones you get in normal play.
