Following a competitive round of physical and online auditions, the selected contestants gathered for the first official event that marks the beginning of their transformative journey.

The full organizing and creative team of En Vogue XI was present to introduce themselves and set expectations for the season. Speakers included:

What’s Next?

Coming up, participants will take part in a photoshoot scheduled for this Saturday, followed by a street runway show – a never-before-seen feature that captures the edgy, accessible spirit of En Vogue. These activities are designed to immerse participants in varied, realistic fashion settings.

What To Expect at The Finale?

This season also continues a format introduced in recent years – no judges in the grand finale. Instead, finalists will be evaluated based on their overall performance, discipline, professionalism, and public votes throughout the journey.

Moreover, this year’s edition includes 15 subtitle awards and 5 main titles, offering multiple opportunities for participants to be recognised for their unique strengths.

A Sweet Start

The orientation concluded with a cheerful cake-cutting ceremony, featuring a beautifully crafted cake from Cake Koseli, symbolising a fresh and hopeful start to the En Vogue XI journey. With guidance from an experienced team and a packed calendar of activities ahead, contestants are now set to explore their full potential.
