Willard Hall was bursting with beauties last night at UDress's model training session. Models who will be featured in the upcoming issue, including some of our cover model contestants, were in attendance to learn the ins and outs of modeling from our Model Consultant, Julia Sczaniecka.

The evening started out with the models-in-training giving a brief introduction and declaring, I am a model. After everyone got a bit more familiar with each other, Julia was ready to whip these models into shape.

Julia began by sharing some of her early modeling stories and explaining the difference between commercial and high fashion modeling. Then, editor-in-chief Jessica Lapidos took over with some breathing and muscle relaxation exercises to get the models loosened up and ready to go.

Lesson 1: Strike a Pose - With Julia's help, a few of the cover model finalists demonstrated how to pose. All the ladies were quickly instructed to put their heels on, and they learned how to work their best angles for the camera. Thomas Barranca, men's style editor, took the guys aside and explained the less exaggerated "guy's pose."

Lesson 2: Runway 101 - Next assignment: work the runway. With music playing and Julia's instruction, models paired up, strutted down the catwalk, and posed. Each model had several turns to hit the runway and perfect their pose and pivot.

Lesson 3: Fierce Faces - The models' last exercise was to practice certain techniques for capturing a confident facial expression, including the "I'm better than you" look and the "I've got a dirty secret" look. Then, they were instructed to make faces while making noises, like "ooh" and "ahh.

After two hours and countless Lady Gaga songs, the models finished their training session.
And as for our potential cover models, the competition isn't over yet.  Each model will get to be in her own shoot in the upcoming issue.  Judges, model coordinator Alisha Pilipshen, men's style director Thomas Barranca, and model consultant Julia Sczaniecka will use these images in determining a fabulous cover model winner!

So who has what it takes? Keep checking UDressmag.com to find out!
