Trivia[]
- With the exception of Ariel, every other winner of this challenge has notably reached the finale of their respective season.
- This is taking into account Santa Lucía's original position as a finalist before her subsequent quitting at the reunion.
- All four main instances of this challenge happened on the fourth episode of the season.
- Both duos that have competed on the show, Red Rabbit Duo and Isabella y Catalina, were eliminated on a Design Challenge.
- As seen on Tú Las Traes, eliminated contestants are also tasked to design their own looks for the category despite not being part of the competition anymore.[1]
- The only instance where this did not happen was in La Más Draga (Season 2), where Nina De La Fuente and Leandra Rose were tasked to help out the remaining contestants with their looks instead.
