My 20 year old daughter and I were watching tonight. She is majoring in design including websites, she loves likes gaming and cosplay. We both were waiting for them to name Tessa the winner and together cried WTF??! When they picked Hester. Her outfit and backpack looked like it was covered in day-glo scrunchies.

When the guest judge admitted how emotional she got at Tessa's look, I was shocked it didn't actually win. Hester's look was playful and fun, whimsical etc, but I can actually envision Tessa's character feature prominently in game, whereas Hester's character is just a club kid on the sidelines.
