Synopsis
Some days after the Last Battle with Lord Darkar, vacation is about to start, but is much shorter than usual. The girls are packing to leave, except Musa and Aisha, who were going to go to the beach together. Bloom and Sky recently had an arguement.
Radius with Stella and Bloom
When Stella is about to leave for vacation, a Solaria messenger arrives and announces that there will be a Princess Ball for Stella. Her father, King Radius, tells her there will be a surprise that will make her happy. Stella assumes that her parents will get back together and is very happy. She invites the Winx to her Princess Ball. She gets the Winx to help her find a new dress in Magix.
The Winx are at a pizza place, when they meet Chimera and her two friends from Beta Academy. Chimera snatches the pie and Stella argues saying it was her pie. They fight over it. Bloom tries to get everyone to get along and tries to introduce herself. Chimera makes fun of Flora and Stella is angered. Chimera and her friends leave.
The girls break up, Aisha and Musa to the beach, Tecna and Flora to check out the rest of the mall, and Bloom and Stella to see the dresses. Bloom and Stella encounter Chimera again when Stella finds her perfect dress. They both race to the store.
Chimera beats them. Stella demands to the cashier why Chimera got the dress and she didn't. The cashier told Stella that Chimera was going to be the princess of Solaria.
They all meet back at the beach. Musa has a new hairdo, longer pigtails. The specialists arrive and greets the Winx. The ocean nearby starts acting weird, and Layla notices it.
When an enormous wave hits, the Winx and the specialists save all the people in the water. A mermaid from Andros appears and tells Aisha that Andros is in trouble. Aisha leaves to Andros.
Meanwhile, throughout the episode, the Trix were sent to the Omega Dimention. Icy was able to break out of her cell and break Stormy's and Darcy's. They encounter a wizard, Valtor, who sentenced to eternity. Icy break his cell and he vowed to get all his powers back from before.

Trivia
- Liza Jacqueline (Bloom), Sean Schemmel (Valtor) and Rebecca Soler (Tecna) did voice work for the 20th anniversary edition of the anime "Outlanders".
- Rebecca Soler replaces Dani Shaffel as Tecna for Season 3 in the 4Kids version.
- The rockstar outfits Bloom and Stella tried on bear striking resemblance to Jem of the 80's show Jem and the Holograms.
- Soler's "Tecna" voice was used for another 4kids/Rainbow joint production "Huntik: Secrets and Seekers" as the female protagonist Sophie Casterwill.
- This episode possibly takes place either the day after the Battle with Darkar or in the same week during which that battle occurred since the last episode of Season 2 supposedly takes place on the last day of the Alfea school year, while the first episode of Season 3 takes place on the first day of holidays.
- The Nickelodeon Dub name for this episode is "The Perfect Dress".
