The makeover didn’t pay off for her…
When Vanessa (20) after the big makeover of “Germany’s Next Topmodel“ Standing there with green-turquoise shiny hair, she was one of the big favorites for many fans of the show. But in the fight for a place in the top 10, an expensive designer dress was her undoing on Thursday evening.
Before the important decision, Heidi Klum’s (48) model had two challenges on the agenda. The boss only revealed so much: “Today we’re shifting up a gear.” During the shoot, her girls could take the announcement quite literally. An oversized trampoline was set up on the roof of a multi-storey car park.

They already knew the photographer. Again it was a question of surviving in front of Yu Tsai’s lens. He had already teased the ladies in the boot camp on Mykonos and was rarely satisfied. Heidi made it clear to her candidates: “Today his expectations are even higher.” In voluminous tulle dresses, the models should cut the best possible figure on the trampoline
Some of them ran out of breath. Anita (21) heard little flattering from Heidi. “You can’t think of anything in the air!” Yu Tsai would have preferred to stop the shoot. “I can’t look anymore. It’s embarrassing.” Juliana (25) also had her problems. She hoped, “Maybe I was the best of the bad guys.” Vanessa couldn’t pull off a single pose. The photographer scolded: “She shows us the jumping jack.”

The 20-year-old became more and more frustrated and later revealed: “My head was totally empty at the moment.” The mood in the loft was correspondingly depressed. Anita even cried. “That was the first shoot I really didn’t enjoy. It was just pressure for me. I was really scared.” She took the star photographer’s negative criticism personally.
Nerves were on edge before the all-important walk. The models had to walk elegantly through a maze in the creations of designer and guest juror Peter Dundas (53). Heidi knew: “You always come out if you keep your right hand on the wall.” Vanessa presented her high-slit robe with a great challenge. “My only worry is that the dress will slip down between my legs and then I won’t be able to go any further.”

On the walk, however, she made a completely different mistake. The designer immediately noticed, “She’s holding onto her dress. She’s not focused.” A no-go at every fashion show. Heidi: “She opens her dress like a curtain.” The feedback gave Vanessa no good idea. Photo shoot and walk – she had messed up both, Klum made clear to her again.
Vanessa was one of the wobbly candidates with Anita and Noëlla (24). However, when Heidi said: “One of you could not convince either during the shoot or during the walk”, everyone knew who was meant. The boss said to Vanessa the sentence that every girl is afraid of: “I don’t have a photo for you today.”
In the circle of the others, all dams broke with the young model. Vanessa sobbed, “I would have loved to have stayed with it. It was an incredibly good time.” Hollywood is waiting for Heidi’s Top 10 next week!
