Style Showdown

Style Showdown, also known as Summer Showdown during Summer events, is a round-based competition gamemode in Dress To Impress that released on March 1, 2025. The game-mode has received updates for various seasons, including collaborations, such as the Summer 2025 update, which introduced new challenges and an overhauled map, the DTI x Lady Gaga collaboration, which added new decorations, and Winter 2025, which added new challenges. On July 4, 2026, Style Showdown was overhauled once more, with over 100 items being added to rotation, new challenges, a new rank-progression system being added, and much more. Style Showdown is intended to be separate from the standard game mode, offering different ranks and sometimes, different items. Developer Zac stated that it was not planned for the gamemode to update with every main game update, with community manager Thuyen confirming that due to team backup, Style Showdown is not slated to release updates frequently.

Gameplay

Players can participate in rounds of Style Showdown by entering the queue ring in the Style Showdown Lobby. If 6 players are queued, all players in the ring will be teleported to the game server. Up until Winter 2025, a short skippable cutscene was played before the rounds theme was chosen. Once selected, the dress-up period lasts 3 minutes or shorter, depending on the randomized challenge. After the dress up time is over, players walk the runway. After all players are done walking, they are teleported onto pedestals with them being able to vote 3 people if the player count is above 6, 2 people if the player count is below 5, and 1 person at minimum. Any unused votes will be deducted from the total votes the player has. After the voting period, if more than 3 players remain, the person with the lowest votes will be eliminated from competition. Shortly after, an intermission period starts, where a pop-up displays how many the player received the previous round, with another round begins shortly after. If only three players remain, the grand finale will begin, where the player with the most will win a random item from the Style Showdown Set. To collect the full set, a player must win three rounds, each granting a randomly selected piece they don’t already own, along with a 200 , 100 , or other rewards, such as Baddie Pass points or the currency, and the "Style Showdown Winner" badge. Second place gets 100 Cash and 50 stars, and third gets 67 Cash and 33 stars.

Content Items (3) Prototype Trivia Style Showdown was originally planned for release in the Valentine's 2025 Part 2 update, but due to feedback received during testing, the gamemode was delayed. Before Summer 2025 Part 4, a jury vote occurred, where players would convince eliminated players who were still in the server why they should win. Eliminated players could vote between the 3 players, and the most voted player would win the game. An unknown area was discovered outside of the map before being removed, consisting of a forested island with pieces of Money and a water well from the Halloween 2024 quest. Following the Spring 2025 update, Style Showdown'' became partially broken. The coloring menu would not appear when equipping items and the shop was outdated with Valentine’s sets. The gamemode was later fixed a few days after the update. An unreleased pair of pants made their appearance in Summer 2025 Part 4, and has not been removed since. Additionally, a skirt removed in Summer 2024 appears in the item rotation. From Summer 2025 up to Summer 2026, transitional menus used the Summer Showdown logo from 2025.
