The model removes the skirt to reveal yellow hot pants. C/U of the model unfastening the skirt, tilt down to reveal her bare legs.

She is wearing a blue blouse and a red patterned skirt with a long split up the middle revealing matching hot pants.

The model turns at the end of the stage and unbuttons the skirt. She exits elegantly draping the skirt behind her. C/U of women in the audience. C/U of a model wearing a blue velvet hat. Tilt down to reveal the rest of the "cocktail ensemble by designer Macola of Zurich" comprising of a cream lace coat and blue clothes.
