The Trinny & Susannah tour hit the ground running yesterday at Westfield Parramatta, with loyal fans turning up hours in advance for the show and cheering wildly when they heard that the duo were in the centre. Trinny & Susannah didn’t disappoint either, with their cheeky sense of humour and upfront, honest assessment of the women they transformed winning everyone in the crowd over. The audience included two teenagers from Canberra, who had driven from the ACT that morning and were still in their pyjamas. The pyjama sets were quickly put to bed though, and Trinny & Susannah soon had the pair looking like they’d walked off a movie set.

The most touching moments were when the UK styling duo found people in the audience who truly don’t have the luxury of time to spend making themselves feel feminine and gorgeous. Stand outs being a mum of a large family, including one with special needs, in Westfield Parramatta, and later that afternoon, in Westfield Miranda, a mum of a large family with albinism who had never been able to find the right makeup or look to make her feel truly beautiful. It was uplifting to see that, after spending just a short amount of time with Trinny & Susannah, both these ladies have had a confidence boost that will hopefully last a lifetime.

This afternoon’s show at Westfield Hornsby had it all too. The glamour of Trinny & Susannah arriving in a helicopter, having flown directly from Westfield Kotara, and then nine lucky women being selected from an audience of thousands for makeovers. Both the crowd, and the women being redressed, were amazed by the magic touch Trinny & Susannah carry. The show had all the classic Trinny & Susannah elements - the bra lifting when the wrong fitting bra was dragging things down, tongue in cheek humour and every woman who came out on stage once re-styled by Trinny & Susannah either looking ten years younger, two feet taller or ten kilos lighter. Some all three. Brilliant to witness how the right clothes, worn the right way, can so easily transform a woman.
