- PERSON: Top five.

You will be making a look
for women and men

who struggle with eczema.

It should be comfortable
on their skin,

and it needs to produce
a jaw-dropping reveal.

This is gonna be bananas.

Everybody here has won
a challenge.

I haven't won,
and I've been this close.

I'm like, this is my challenge.

I don't know about the silver.

- JARRAD: It's a bit effeminate.
- I really like her design.

HEIDI: Antonio and Veejay,

you made our two favorite looks
on the runway.

Antonio, congratulations.
You are the winner.

You had our favorite look
this week.

I finally win!

I think you being
in the top is ludicrous.

You didn't even have a reveal
at all. What the [bleep]?

Belania, Jesus, both of
your looks failed as a reveal.

And even worse,
you failed your client.

You're both out.

I've performed so well
in this competition.

I think I also delivered
something nice on the runway.

And I had a reveal.
So, I'm so confused

as of why Veejay is not sitting
in my spot right now.

I'm sorry.

convinced us otherwise.

get rid of either of them.

Really?

They've both won challenges.
They're both talented,

and then only three

I think it's a great idea.

You can't pick me up.

I'm not gonna pick you up.

JESUS: Christian said that
he wants to see both of us in

because we've made great work.

So, we are both safe.

This is the challenge before

two of us are going home,

Because this challenge

to the finale,
we had to do something

very, very special. Take a look.

Oh, hi, Heidi.

And hello, designers.

It's Oz's most popular witches.

Cynthia! Ariana! Oh!

ARIANA: We hear this season
of "Project Runway" has more

twists and turns

And we're certain the experience
has changed you for good.

ARIANA: We wish we could
be there in person,

but you are in amazing

We're pleased to welcome

the most swankified man in Oz.

Oscar-winning costume designer
of "Wicked"...

- [Ethan screams]
- How?

CYNTHIA: ...and the upcoming
"Wicked: For Good,"

Paul Tazewell.
- Good luck, designers.

- JESUS: Wow.

Whoo!

- Hi, designers.
- Wow.

It is such an honor
to have you here.

Aw, thank you.
It's so great to be here.

- Oh, wow.
- Oh, pinch me, pinch me!

Paul Tazewell is the first
African American man to win

an Oscar
for Best Costume Design,

on top of, like,
all his other accolades,

'cause he's been really running
these costume design

Broadway streets since
the '90s, so, um, you know,

just in the presence of an icon.
No big deal.

You will be creating
an avant-garde look

based on the themes
of the upcoming movie,

"Wicked: For Good."

I can relate to this so much
because Antonio and I

have such a strong brotherhood.

And Glinda and Elphaba have
such a strong sisterhood.

So like, wow. This is such
a beautiful challenge

for Antonio and I.

"Wicked" focuses on the power
of friendship, marginalization

of people that are different,
and also self-empowerment.

So, it's on you hopefully
to take that inspiration

and create it in your own way
and reimagine the idea of Oz.

HEIDI: And what if I told you

you might have
not only one day...

- ...but you have two days!

- Finally!

- PERSON: Oh, my God!

Hi, designers.

So fragile, so expensive,
so designer.

Is this for real? [laughs]

So, not only did you get
a special look at the film,

you also get this fabulous,
special look at the costumes

from the film,
which is incredible.

And you're gonna get
to talk directly

with the man who made it
all come to life.

PAUL: What you see before you
is Elphaba and Glinda.

For Elphaba, I leaned
into all that was organic.

I was influenced
by mycelia, the bark,

the underside of mushrooms.

Speechless.

With Glinda,
it's all that is artificial,

all that is sparkly
and beautiful.

I then wanted
to really establish that idea

of the iridescent bubble--
the swirls and those things

that are whimsical,

and pink and green define
what the world of "Wicked" is.

Think about this idea,
take in the inspiration

of "Wicked: For Good" but still
avant-garde and whatever

that means to you and your brand
and your work.

It still needs to be fashion.
It's still a runway.

Push it really hard.

You guys go sketch,
and we'll come around.

[person screams]

♪ Get out in the crowd

This is my challenge.

I'm good at avant-garde.

Good luck, other designers.
Good luck.

- Hi. I'm Glinda.
- [Paul chuckles]

- Obviously.
- Very good.

ANTONIO: Thinking about doing
a head-to-toe, beaded bodysuit

with gloves and do
a beautiful cape of organza.

PAUL: Amazing. Well, make sure
that you're also thinking about

avant-garde, like, something
you've never seen before.

- Yeah.
- Because, like, a pink bodysuit

is fabulous, but, like,
Jennifer Lopez literally wears

that every single night,
and a flowered cape, Valentino's

made for like, 20 years.
- Yeah.

So, push it more.

ANTONIO: I'm not worried at all.

I hope my win last week can
carry me through this challenge

and into the finale.

My biggest competition is
my brother till, like,

I finally catch up, up to him,

the judges really are gonna see

what Antonio Estrada
is capable of.

I wanted to tap more into
the nature side, so I thought

about a beautiful tree.
Nature has no linear lines.

- Absolutely.
- But remember,

you still want
that fashion moment.

BELANIA: I'm trying to use
the design style that

I discovered for myself--
sophisticated streetwear--

and push it to avant-garde.

The pressure is turned up
to 5,000,

and I really, really,
really want to make it

to the finale,
so I'm determined to deliver.

"Wicked: For Good" is a movie

about friendship
being torn apart,

and I kind of want to create
the fabric that's kind of like,

peeling off or being torn apart.

I really want it to be crazy,
but in a good way.

I mean, what I'm seeing
is really exciting.

Huge fan of texture.

Also like, your work is some--
you know, very quiet sometimes.

I think this has to be
the fantasy.

- Yes.
- CHRISTIAN: Right?

VEEJAY:
I really agree with Christian.

In my work, it's very quiet
because I think

that there is beauty
in simplicity.

But avant-garde should
not be quiet.

I love to play with restraint.
A lot of Elphaba's journey,

she's restraining herself
because of her skin.

Growing up,
I was a little queer kid,

and I didn't know really
how to express myself,

and so when I saw "Wicked,"

it did help me like, feel
comfortable in my own skin,

and it really means
a lot to me.

Ugh. I'm obsessed.

So, I wanna play with this
beautiful, crystal overlay,

off the shoulder, flowing down.

It's just beautiful fabric.

You did do the first challenge
where you had a glove

through your giant wind-cape.

And not standing still
might not be enough.

This needs to be incredible,

which you of all people can do.

ETHAN: Mm. Avant-garde is
my bread and butter.

I think that I could do a hybrid
of what I've done before,

but these decisions are
the ones that are gonna push me

to the finale, so I gotta
make the right decisions.

It's a lot of pressure.

♪ Everybody get ♪

I have a really strong
connection with Elphaba.

I wanna create this really
amazing avant-garde coat dress

with really huge hips.

I don't know if avant-garde
is in Jesus' wheelhouse

because he makes
a lot of beautiful dresses.

But a beautiful dress
is not avant-garde.

Then I want to mold the collar
into around the neck

and into a hat.

VEEJAY: I mean, the silhouette
of the dress is something

that we've seen before.
It's literally exactly the same.

I don't know what he's thinking.

This challenge
might be Jesus' downfall.

I got this.

I have been eyeing
this crystal fabric,

and I find this
beautiful, green satin.

My original plan
was to do silver

because of Glinda's shoes.

But that crystal fabric is more
of a green tone, so, like,

green is just a natural choice.

Veejay,
all this red is for you!

A lot of your budget
is going to this one fabric.

VEEJAY: Setting myself apart
from other designers

is a strategy that I've used
for the entire competition

because you need to have
a unique point of view.

- All gonna be red?
- VEEJAY: Yes.

- The whole thing?
- VEEJAY: Yes.

Very powerful.

It's a risk to use red
because I know that

this is not the usual colors
that you can associate

with the movie.
But no risk, no reward.

Can I see your sketch, Veejay?

- No!
- JESUS: See? See? See?

I don't know yet
what I'm making!

Well, I want to see
what you sketched.

I don't know yet

CHRISTIAN: You don't have

doesn't show anybody.

JESUS: No.

Green.

to show me your sketch.

Veejay is a silent killer.

I'll see it later.

VEEJAY: Jesus said
you copied his color.

Get it straight, bitch.

I don't want you to, like,
start tea.

I never said that
he was copying me.

Don't put words in my mouth.

You just accused me of saying
that he copied me

and I didn't do that.
- No, so--

Let me just clear the air.
I wanna clear it

because you're starting tea.
- I'm just, like, asking

why both of you are using green.

You're initially going
for silver--

JESUS: No, in the last plan was
that Ethan was gonna use silver,

I was gonna do the green,
and Antonio was gonna do--

- Pink.
- JESUS: Pink.

Because we're hoping that
we're on the top three, period.

Whoa, whoa, damn. What?
Bitch. [laughs]

JESUS: I've never said that
he was copying me.

Don't put words in my mouth.

He said that you changed it
to the green.

Actually, my original thought
was green. But then I thought,

"Oh, what if I switched it
to silver for the shoes?"

I'm not copying nobody.

I'm just doing
the correct branding.

- No one here owns green.
- She's gonna go home.

Stir the pot.

It's like the moment that
I'm like, "Bitch, it's on."

ANTONIO: Jesus is fuming.

I can already feel his heat
coming out from his pores.

- I have my popcorn ready.
- ETHAN: Y'all are spicy.

This is just getting me
more fuel to send you home.

Jesus can go from zero to 200%
and I am the opposite.

I'm not taking it
in a very personal level.

But I think Jesus
cannot do that,

so there's gonna be
chaos and war.

Let's see which bitch goes home.

It's like, I'm done with it.
I don't want that.

I have a question
with both of you.

Like, just, like,
a random question.

[whispers] Uh-oh.

For example, just let's say,

of course, ideally both of you
want to be in the finale.

But let's say there's only one.

Have you guys talk
about who do you think

deserve it more?

This is just, like, an honest--
I think Antonio started

in the bottom, and then
you started in the top.

And then during the entire
competition, it's kind of like,

he's on the top, on the top,
on the top and then--

Bitch.

What are you talking about?

Honey, I'm just going up.

I'm not saying
you're going down.

No, listen to me.
I'm just going up.

Security! [laughs]

Security!
We need security on set.

JESUS: You never know. Like,
last challenge, it was a shock

to me that I was on the bottom,
and you were on top.

You should have gone home.
Period.

I mean, I like my look.

When I ask question,
I'm just trying to know you

and to get to know you.

But I get in trouble sometimes

because I'm always very honest,
and sometimes I lose friends

because of that.
It might come across offensive.

And you missed
the challenge, honey.

- Why did I miss it?
- Because there was no reveal.

- There was a reveal.
- The Christmas sweater?

I'd rather wear
a Christmas sweater rather than

"Dancing with the Stars"
that looks like a magician.

My coat was stronger
than all your three pieces.

Do you really wanna go there?

PERSON: Wow.

My job this week
is to send your ass home.

You're a feisty [bleep] bitch.

- Oh, my God.
- JESUS: Starting trouble.

She does not want
to [bleep] with me.

He is very loud. [chuckles]

I'm not really trying
to create drama.

She looks at me
and I'm like, "Bye." [laughs]

Jesus and I fight a lot,

but for me, it's coming
from competition.

You put two competitive people
in one group,

so what would you expect?

You know, we're not gonna hug
each other.

We're gonna stab each other
because we wanna win,

and that's normal.

She said, "I'm not trying
to start drama."

I'm like, "Yeah, but you did."

JESUS: She is drama.

You don't have a DNA, honey.

All your looks look
from different designers.

Veejay has always seen us
as frenemies.

But she's pushed me way too far.

I don't know if that's her
strategy to make it to the top,

Right? So, I want the point
to be dramatic,

like, avant-garde.

And I wanted to do a 3D heart,

'cause you know,
my brother's doing green.

And I mixed the pink in it.

VEEJAY: The twins obviously
are helping each other.

But they're not helping
each other editing the look.

If I am Jesus,

I will tell Antonio right now

to get rid of that ugly flower.

[giggles]

It represents the love that she

will forever in her life have
for Glinda.

Wonderful.
It--it touches my heart.

There may be strengths
in what you have already that

if you focus on that
and make that really beautiful,

then you really
won't need anything else.

BELANIA: Where I'm at
in my process is getting

the moss effect
full throttle going.

What I see currently
are silhouettes that

in and of themselves
are interesting.

It's how do you keep all of it
talking to each other.

Talking to each other. Mmm.

I like Belania's, but it doesn't
read avant-garde.

It reads streetwear.

There's a lot at stake

'cause two people are gonna go
so, girl, go big.

Push yourself
beyond your comfort zone.

That's what avant-garde
is all about.

Everybody, I'm hugely impressed.

So, win or lose,
let's rejoicify.

- BELANIA: Yeah!
- Bye.

- Bye.
- BELANIA: Ugh. I hope it works.

Tomorrow, two of you go home
and get to watch me

in the finale!

the final five! Yes!

As you know, in fashion,
one day you're in,

But tonight,
two, unfortunately, will be out.

For this challenge, you had
to create an avant-garde look

based on the themes
from the new film,

"Wicked: For Good." And please
tell me, what was it like

having Paul's input
in looking at your designs?

- VEEJAY: Oh, my God.

- PERSON: Hi, Paul.
- BELANIA: You're here. Ahh!

for all the guidance
that you've given the designers.

Absolutely. My pleasure.

Oh, my gosh.

Designers, please step
onto the runway.

♪

We've scored your designs,
and we wanna talk to all of you.

Jesus, we're gonna start
with you and your model.

I really wanted to just create
something very powerful.

I wanted to do a heart
to incorporate the pink

of Antonio's fabric
because to me,

it represents the love
that Elphaba has for Glinda.

But for me, it's the love
that I have for my twin brother.

Avant-garde means
being innovative...

being experimental...

and that all came through.

It really is pushing
the boundaries.

- [voice breaking] Thank you.
- NINA: Well done.

Aw, Jesus!

It's okay to be emotional.

I think it's really, really,
really beautiful.

Now, the shoes came out
really draggy to me.

But you know what?
This is a runway look.

This is the avant-garde moment
when you can be outrageous.

It's going to hit Nina first.

She's gonna photograph it,
edgy, cool.

No, it's gonna hit me first
'cause I'm gonna get it

- right off the red carpet.
- Oh, you gonna fight. Okay.

- We're gonna get it--
- Oh, now you fight, baby.

- [all speaking at once]
- LAW: I get it first, baby.

Depends on your celebrity.
Sorry!

I already know who
my celebrity is.

[all speaking at once]

Nina came back feisty tonight.

- Yes, ma'am.
- I know.

That's what you say
every time I come on.

- [Law laughs]
- Whatever.

- Jesus.
- Tyra.

I don't see two days.
I see two months.

LAW: Yes.

I did love the look. It came
out and I was like, "Wow."

The sparkle,
how you placed them all.

I don't know, it just gives it
this kind of, texture in a way.

It's divine.

Thank you so much. Thank you.

Okay, Antonio.
Let's get your model out.

I knew that I was gonna do
a pink dress inspired by Glinda.

- WOMAN: Mm-hmm.
- And what really came

to my mind is the poppy flower
in the movie.

I love the dress.
I think the dress is beautiful.

Does it read to me immediately
"Wicked"? No.

I'm seeing
a little bit more Vegas.

The construction on the actual
dress is really beautiful.

Let's talk about the back,

because that's
what I'm most troubled with.

♪

That's a disaster.
And it is not defying gravity.

- [gasps] Ugh. It's bad.
- LAW: Tell the truth.

Shame the devil.

It's--it's--its--it's a--
it's like a bad piñata.

I know that deep inside
you know this is...

♪

...catastrophic.

Antonio, I know that deep inside
you know this is c

The back of the dress
looks really unfinished.

I see all your seam works.

It is a bit messy from the back.
But I do love the volume.

This brought me back,
I feel like, to the beginning.

So, even though I was
rising to the top,

I feel like I'm back to square
one so, I'm... shutting down.

Um, I think the dress
is beautiful,

and I actually like the flower.

- I want it.
- You can have it, Tyra.

- Thank you, Antonio.
- Hi, Veejay.

- Hi, Heidi.
- Let's bring out your model.

"Wicked: For Good" is about
friendship being torn apart.

So, I bought red silk,
and I literally...

- HEIDI: Shredded it.
- ...shredded it apart.

And Paul mentioned that
one of the most important

design elements for "Wicked"
is the spiral.

The deconstruction
of wrapping that boning

and making it
look shredded looks fantastic.

The shoe is spectacular.

Kind of took my breath away.

There was a lot
of creativity to it.

- I really loved it.
- I think it's beautiful.

I think it's avant-garde.
And then the shoe looks clunky.

Does it read
"Wicked" to me? No.

The red totally threw me off.

Had this been in green or black,

you could have told
the same story,

and it would have made
more sense for the movie.

But I do think that you did make
something really interesting.

I used to teach branding,
and there are certain things

with branding
that are non-negotiables.

And one of those is color.

So, for me,
that's, like, a big miss.

Like, a huge miss.

- Thank you, Veejay.
- Thank you. Thank you so much.

Okay, Ethan.
Let's bring out your model.

This could have easily been
a $50,000 couture dress,

and you ruined it
with those underwear.

That is one
of my biggest pet peeves...

- Right?
- LAW: ...on the red carpet,
when

...when it's the wrong
underwear, but it's fab.

I love the addition
of the ostrich feathers.

It also is Elphaba
with the cape,

and the end of the first movie

when Glinda threw that cloak
around her, and she flew off.

I think you did
an incredible job.

It's gorge. I mean, you
definitely took a risk

by hiding her face,
because it could have been like,

that you either hate it
or love it.

I happen to love it.
You know, it's like...

[operatically] ♪ Ahh ♪

What I like the most about
your work

is when you play
with these opposites, right?

So, here is a sense of modesty

but at the same time,
a sexiness.

I was just blown away.
I think it's very stunning.

This is unique.
This is special.

- Thank you, Ethan.
- Thank you all so much.

- You can leave the runway.
- ETHAN: Thank you, baby.

Okay, Belania, let's bring out
your avant-garde look.

♪

When Paul was explaining
his inspiration,

he went to nature to see all
the textures and the colors,

and I was inspired deeply
'cause I'm a plant person.

But since this is avant-garde,
I had to go a little bit bigger.

I'm so torn here.

I love the gauchos.

However, I don't know
about that tail.

It's giving me
a little crocodile tail.

And it's not even even.
So, there's--

Well yeah, that--
that speaks to nature

and the unevenness in nature.
It's supposed to be

representative of moss.
- NINA: Okay. But does it

give you a little crocodile,
alligator tail?

To me personally,
no, it doesn't.

I love it. I think there's
different levels of avant-garde.

- Right.
- There's avant-garde couture,

and there's avant-garde
street fashion.

Right.

I think
it's absolutely stunning.

My issue is everybody else
took a chance.

And I think
this was pretty safe.

In your opinion,
what you've seen so far.

That's not helping you, babe.

Really? You don't think this
is you? I think this is--

I'm uncomfortable putting
this on the run-- I love it.

But this is, to me,
this is like, big.

Well, you're gonna have
to be uncomfortable a lot

in this business.
That's the name of the game.

Fashion is all about the new.

It's safe.

Belania, be quiet!

I have never yelled
at a girl likes before!

I was rooting for you!
We were all rooting for you!

- BELANIA: God...
- Is it really that serious?

- JESUS: Oh, bitch, it is.
- That was iconic.

Now, let me critique you
seriously.

I actually agree with Tyra.

Rick Owens is considered
to be one of the greatest

avant-garde designers
of our generation.

And for me,
this is what that feels like.

I do think it's avant-garde.

And I do think
it's really beautiful.

It's the thing of not being
able to take the critiques

that loses me with you
every single time

because if I didn't care,
I wouldn't say anything.

I always say, like,
cuss us out in your head.

- Right.
- [voice breaking] I'm sorry.

I'm not trying to be
disrespectful.

[sniffling]

If I didn't care,
I wouldn't say anything.

I always say, like,
cuss us out in your head.
[sniffling]

- Right.
- [voice breaking] I'm sorry.

I'm not trying to be
disrespectful. [sniffles]

- It's okay.
- BELANIA: Thank you.

- Sorry. [sniffles]
- I gave you a high score.

[chuckles]

I knew immediately
that it was yours.

I also did see Elphaba.

She looks modern also,
you know? This is now.

- Thank you, Belania.
- Thank you.

There's five of you,
but unfortunately

only three of you will make it
to the big finale.

Antonio,
should you be in the finale,

please tell us
what two designers

do you think should
come with you?

Whew. Well, I can just say
I would love to see my brother

do a collection.

And I would love to see
Ethan do a collection.

I've been so proud of what he's
been doing in the competition.

Belania, who would you
take with you?

God!

I would go
with the two twins.

So, you'll send Veejay
and Ethan home?

Yeah. It's what I'm saying.

No, that's coming from your
heart. I think it's very brave.

HEIDI: Ethan, what about you?

This is tough.

♪

The twins.

Throughout
the whole competition,

I have volleyed so many ideas,
and my work has grown so much.

Like, they've been
just watering the seeds...

- Understood.
- ...the whole time.

- Aw, that's nice.
- ETHAN: And... yeah.

- HEIDI: Hey, Jesus.
- I would, of course, like

to see my brother
be in the finale with me

because I am so proud
of what he's done

and what he's learned
in this competition.

And then Ethan--
we saw the growth in him

through this competition.

I would love for top four

because I think Belania found
who she truly is as a designer.

I truly don't know if Veejay

really knows what her DNA
is in the competition.

The strategy is they don't
want me to be in the top three

because they know that
if I'm in the top three,

I have a strong chance
of winning this.

LAW: So, who would
you take with you?

I will definitely take Ethan
and Belania

because I think that
these two people are kind.

And I think that we need
the money more than them.

And I feel--

Well, what makes you
think that?

It's her chance to speak.

[scoffs] That is so stupid.

I like to work with people
who are kind and humble.

Are you saying that we're
not kind and humble?

- [whispers] Oh, my God.
- You're the one that started

all the drama
in this competition, Veejay,

if you really wanna go there.

'Cause you are not
the humble person.

You were starting drama between
everybody in this competition.

And you know that.
So, don't stand right here

and look like
you're the innocent girl.

Period.

Between you and your brother,
who's the better designer?

I'm not gonna answer that, Law.

- Why not?
- I'm not gonna answer that.

You saw the hearts
on the dresses.

- It's a competition.
- Please don't do that.

I mean, he was always on top,
and I was in the bottom,

so I'm proud of him.

Right. So, you think
he's the better designer?

Oh. I mean, yeah.
If you want me to say it.

LAW: Okay. Great.
That's all I'm trying to get to.

- It's okay.
- He said it.

I have different family values,
as maybe you should one day too.

- It's fine.
- Ooh.

LAW: There can only be one
winner at the end of the day.

JESUS: Yeah,
the best winner should win.

- LAW: Yeah.
- Yeah.

- But let's get there.
- We have a lot to talk about.

You can leave the runway.
Thank you so much.

- Thank you.
- HEIDI: Thank you.

- NINA: Wow.
- It got heated in here. Whoop.

JESUS: That was really
wrong for you to say that.

Please don't.

- VEEJAY: See?
- JESUS: Please don't.

VEEJAY: That's what I'm saying.
Kind and humble, right?

- We are humble.
- VEEJAY: Oh, my God.

I don't even want to be
in this room with them.

They're attacking me.

But stop saying that--
"be kind and humble."

Because you're the one
with the big mouth.

ANTONIO: Get her out of the
room if she's not comfortable.

JESUS: She's saying that
we're not humble?

- How am I not humble?
- They're attacking me.

Oh, dear God.

I'm not doing this.
I'm gonna go. No.

No, I'm not gonna stand there
and have them humiliate me.

I didn't come here for that.

ETHAN: No, mama.
Girl, calm down.

- ANTONIO: Nope.
- ETHAN: And stay.

ANTONIO: I'm not--
I made my decision.

ETHAN: Girl, you--

They're not gonna humiliate me,
especially this bitch.

And catch me if you can.
Touch me?

- I'm leaving.
- [in Spanish]

ANTONIO: I'm leaving.

He is gonna leave,
and I know my brother.

Because he's not gonna be up
there and be humiliated, okay?

And that was really wrong,
Veejay. And you know that.

What the [bleep]?
Law really went there.

How dare you try to put
my brother and I

against each other?
I'm not going back in.

And Veejay is
being disrespectful.

I'm not gonna stand there with
that [bleep] bitch, Veejay,

saying that we're not humble and
that we don't need the money.

She doesn't know my financials.

Who the [bleep] is she?
Ugh! I'm going home.
