Casting took place in two stages. First, the participants had to send the producer videos in which they talk about themselves and their goals. Several girls managed to get into the second round. The casting involved not only Muscovites, but also beauties from other cities. A professional jury evaluated the vocal and external data of the girls. Such qualities as artistry, the ability to move on stage and self-confidence were also taken into account. Two marinas, Julia and Masha came up with all these parameters.
