The Trinny Takeover Show | Season 4, Episode 1: Fenella | Trinny

Join Trinny for a brand new season of The Trinny Takeover Show. This time she’s joined by Fenella, a GP who has spent so long approaching her appearance with only practicality in mind that she feels her identity has escaped her. With Trinny’s help, it’s time to add a little energy and life back into her wardrobe - and beauty bag - to match the vivacious, feminine woman inside…
The Trinny Takeover Show stars a person in need of a life makeover with Trinny as your host. From throwing out old clothes to discovering new makeup, revitalised hair and a refreshed sense of style, it’s all about rediscovering yourself and your identity. With some honest guidance from Trinny, a lot of love from the Trinny London team and more than a few hours spent clothes shopping, a new way of thinking is revealed.

Hearing Fenella made me feel a bit teary - that feeling of reaching a certain age and having lost your self identity somehow is something so many of us feel. And thank you Trinny for making all of us who feel that, feel a bit better. Hope Fenella bought that blue dress - it looks stunning, as did the denim dress.

Loved her in the pretty blue dress! 💙

[@camm8832]

Same here!!! We need more Trinny’s in this world, such an inspiring, kind & knowledgeable woman. Alas, there is only one Trinny❤️ I’m so glad we all get to feel like we’re old friends with her and that we get to enjoy her personality, guidance and get tuned-in to ourselves while becoming more accepting of ourselves and others, plus of course amping up our style intelligence in the process. Thanks Trinny & this lovely community of women supporting other women!!! Gros bisous😘

[@tammyanderson2372]

This is so true in my life, 47 and about to start a new career and just adopted a toddler. I want to feel confident and pretty again. I wish I knew how to choose the right colors and put together similar outfits so I don’t look like I don’t know my style

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

I think she did, she had it on at the end with her friend. 👍

[@MsAquaAugen]

The blue & white printed dress was so pretty on her! Glad this series is back. Do more please!

[@silviaterracciano4513]

I also liked the blue and white printed dress on her!

[@SJ-lb9ry]

I loved it as well and her smile let you know she loved it also !!! 💙

[@devereauxmanuel]

I was watching this with my 6 year old niece and she asked: “why is the Aunty crying?” I explained why and she said ... “I wish the Aunty knew how beautiful she is” ❤️that moment made me cry ... because Fenella is stunning ! ❤️but so relatable.

[@CM-yo9jk]

Fenella. That blue & white dress brought tears to my eyes. Utterly gorgeous, and fun and juicy and lovely and f**ng fantastic. Well done Trinny & team.

[@TrinnyLondon]

Fenella was fabulous 💞

[@trisharamsey5118]

Trinny, the cut of the denim dress made her look so much slimmer and really accentuated her bust and minimized her tummy.. Her makeup looked good..your products with regular use will look fresh and after regular use, the tinted serum will work wonders to really give her complexion a boost. There are many ways to change up her dress with different accessories like a red crossbody purse and red earrings and a lovely red lip from your collection.. the basic blue denim dress would look good with a nice belt placed under her busom and a handbag to match. I would havel layered her haircut a bit more to create lots of movement and give her a more sassy look. The floral dress will look great with or without the belt as you pointed out. You really gave her more confidence by pointing out her legs and bottom looking good. You uplifted her spirit and brought back her confidence! I really love all your videos especially this series! Cheers!

[@jengadsby6433]

Fenella is one of my best friends , I wanted to be there but was on holiday !!!!! She is an amazing lady and this was way out of her comfort zone I think it’s fair to say , Fenella you look incredible !!!! I love the shape not size thing , and I love you in a dress , you fabulous woman ❤️ Trinny and team , amazing job !!!

[@wjs5773]

How lovely. I hope she knows how much people commenting were impressed by her.

[@gatvreality]

Aww she looked lovely before and after ☺

[@andreaschmitz1124]

She looks stunning!

[@marynorton6068]

So lovely. It’s not even about the clothes or the hair or makeup. It’s about the person allowing themselves to express who they are on the outside. Giving them their confidence back.

[@vronkadls2187]

Luv Trinny! This lovely woman is petite and has a beautiful shape. Tinny pulled the excess layers off and let her shape shine. Looks amazing.

[@Gail-vc6xq]

And more tears..I cry at this series every time ..the part where trinny told fenella not to think of her body as plus sized opened up the water works for me ...Ive felt like that about my body for years but never again ....xx

[@sarahryanthestylecoach]

So glad to see this series back! Fenella represents so many women out there, she's very inspiring. She was always gorgeous, sometimes people need a little help to allow that beauty to shine through. Great job Trinny team and a courageous step from Fenella!

[@TrinnyLondon]

💞

[@eileenh3264]

LOVE this Takover series. I cried through the whole thing. Fenella is such a pretty woman and to hear how she feels about herself was heartbreaking! I really don't know why we're so hard on ourselves. Good lessons in this for all of us! You rock, Fenella!!

[@heathervalentine8222]

I'm so glad you are doing season four!! Honestly, Trinny, you have such a gift. Your message on shape not size has been transformative for me. It helped with my three teenage daughters, too. They are all taller and more curvy than me and your book equipped them to discover their own style. I love how you encoraged Fenella!!

[@jmk1962]

Dr. Trinny works her magic. I loved her pep talk to Fenella, seeing the role reversal of a fashion queen giving confidence to a beautiful doctor who has lost herself for a while. Fenella looked beautiful and so vibrant and alive, someone who spends her life looking after her patients and probably everyone else. She needs to rediscover herself and give herself self care to become the gorgeous woman that she is. I loved the denim dress, although I think a slightly longer sleeve would be better, and I also loved the blue and white dress. Her hair and make were fabulous and really made her shine. Lovely lady.

[@rbr2023]

Actually cried watching this! Fenella looks fabulous and honestly the makeover stripped years off her!

[@pixelpug4562]

Fenella is such a gorgeous woman. Blue and white dress looks fabulous on. Such a lovely deserving woman. ❤️

[@annabevaart5679]

Dear Trinny, you are so lovely and kind. You give every women the feeling that she is beautiful and worth the best life can give. You are doing an amazing job. I admire and love you for that. Thank you, Anna from Germany

[@andreaschmitz1124]

I’m an Image Consultant and I still learn a lot from Trinny! Thank you, dear!

[@nadinerogers5653]

Hearing you say we shouldn't define ourselves as "plus sized" was so good for me.

[@Godmershamgurl29]

So pleased this series is back. Why isn’t it a tv series????

[@alteredcatscyprus]

She’s probably too busy with her business. A TV show is many hours of work.

[@marynorton6068]

To be clear, I agree with you! But I think makeover shows are considered dated. Also I think the snowflake brigade would take issue with it. In the past a LOT of un-PC things happened in those shows, liking grabbing womens bodies, putting them in head to toe shape wear, or not letting them have a say in what’s happening. I love how Trinny does it here though, Fenella looked so happy.

[@ejb777]

KZbin enables people from all over the world to watch, unlike a UK TV show.

[@Tinamar65]

Who needs TV anyways?

[@clairebrighton2468]

Because Trinny couldn’t show her products on it that’s why if it was the BBC!!

[@NavyRev]

I loved Trinnys most empowering comment about labeling our bodies. Bang on!

[@jasbegs1258]

Trinny = fabulous to see you back at this - much kinder than the T & S of old - love this. You are an inspiration .

[@greetrosiers3960]

Fenella was a beautiful woman before and you managed to emphasize that beauty even more. She has gorgeous eyes! And Trinny, you have such a natural, sweet, caring way of talking to people. You really listen, care and give such great advice...

[@cdugral]

We all need a Trinny. And yes, I always look at my weight and age. But inside I am slim and young.

[@riekerfit]

thank you for bringing back Trinny Takeover Show.. Fenella looks beautiful and stunning. She's her own SHE'RO now.. yeaaaah!!! xoxo

[@robyn3349]

Trinny, I love the way you listen and ask questions! Fenella, you are a cutie!

[@elenarichards9692]

Omg that’s made me so emotional. The way you looked after her, so kind. She’s like a new woman now, just wow 🤩 Well done Trinny ❤️

[@TrinnyLondon]

💞

[@dscan5254]

This lady don't even know how beautiful she is inside and out 💫

[@susantaylor5068]

Fenella you look amazing - you’re a truly beautiful lady inside and out!! Trinny has given you the confidence to look into the mirror - what a gift to now love yourself and what you see. Enjoy your new life 😊

[@helenalinderroslund7626]

Thank you Trinny, for celebrating women❣️ Fenella is a beautiful and charming person. It was so touching to watch her getting in touch with herself again and looking so happy to discover how fabulous she looks.❤️

[@karatechick306]

Fenella is so cute in those dresses! Love how encouraging Trinny is.

[@realreviews4017]

I knew she would look good. She is a very pretty lady in my opinion. WHY do I always cut onions watching all these shows. Trinny this is such a nice series, the way you get women to embrace who they really want to be.

[@1Kaileegirl]

Fenella you are beautiful inside and out I really enjoyed watching you light up with each tiny change. Trinny as usual a great transformation

[@moiradiamond3861]

Wow Fenella looks absolutely beautiful 😍

[@shels483]

"Easier.. because there is more choice".. the goddess speaks the truth! Being a full figured girl, I hear you Fenella!! Trinny you are the best!

[@elizabethmilligan7173]

Trinny you have such a gift-thank you for sharing it with the world. Stories like this are so empowering for us ladies; Finella looks incredible.

[@TrinnyLondon]

Gorgeous inside and out 💞

[@kayelle8005]

That denim dress is sensational on Fenella. She really brings it to life. Awesome hair and makeup. Made me cry instantly. 🥰

[@protopiannelson5]

Love the fact that you're taught how to apply the makeup so you can maintain the look.

[@cocoatmidnight7611]

Thank you for making this woman feel like a beautiful woman again.

[@lovelifepoetry1309]

Fenella looks terrific ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Well done Trinny and gang 😇

[@annahelena3277]

She’s so gorgeous, and looks really good in her new dresses

[@robynfitzsimmons1137]

How beautiful was that. Fenella is such a sweet lady and she looked terrific. Hair, dress, shoes, make-up. So lovely And as for you Trinny, what beautiful heart you have. You never judge anyone, but you always always so gently guide these lovely women towards confidence and feeling so good about them self. You truly are very special Trinny.

[@tuppence937]

Fenella you are gorgeous! Brilliant transformation. All women should be visible and celebrated at any age.

[@TrinnyLondon]

💞

[@blankaschusterova1593]

Trinny you can empower women like no one else. With such an ease and laugh and being so kind and helpful. So nice!

[@lauralarue8643]

J’adore!! This episode made my day. Trinny is so full of light that she makes the world a more beautiful place❤We’re so blessed to share this planet with her🎉

[@hollystiener16]

One of Trinny's best make overs yet. She look stunning

[@rjj3738]

Brought a tear to my eye watching this lovely lady ♥️

[@Veecollins13]

My first thought about Fenella was when she smiled you can see she’s a pretty woman. She looks like herself after the takeover; just more polished. I need to find a dress like that!

[@jillpappas6508]

Ok I cried ..she looked fabulous but her confidence is what was wonderful to see. She looked fantastic in those dresses....great video.

[@mgparis]

What a lovely lady Fenella is, inside and out! The pink and green outfit was my fave. I do the buying 2 short necklaces and stringing them together trick all the time ;)

[@mariadrob]

If you wake up one morning too happy and feel the need to cry, just watch this. This lady really touched my heart. It is so unbelievable how fast we can use ourselves in the waves of life. I am so happy the show is back! ❤️

[@clareobrien7363]

This made me cry. Fenella seems like a gorgeous person on the inside too. Best of luck Fenella, you look fab!

[@melg3727]

Fen Ella your look beautiful and radiant! You are feminine through and through 😍 Well done Trinny - yet again , you are a super star ⭐️

[@janewest4851]

What a lovely lady!! So we’ll deserved she looks amazing I think we all feel a bit invisible in our 50s but we need to love ourselves more because us women are great !! Well done Trinny and her team x

[@theveryplumdarcey]

So well deserved indeed 👏🏾

[@marynorton6068]

I’m in my 40s and feel invisible! You are right. We need to be kinder to ourselves and each other.

[@alisonhardisty5869]

I totally agree with you!

[@TrinnyLondon]

💞

[@carolflower8015]

Invisible to whom? Handsome young men ? Have to agree with you there lol

[@lilithowl]

Oh I'm so happy this show is back! 💛 And what a lovely uplifting episode, fantastic to see Fenella feeling good about herself. 🤩 (Also, how sweet was her friend?!💕) Trinny, with your knowledge and skill and passion and kindness you really help people find their confidence, which is such a gift. 🪄

[@alteredcatscyprus]

Her friend 💕

[@lynettefinnigan9540]

I love how Trinny helps women see a new self, a new self-confidence and stop seeing the negatives in themselves (as we women all seem to do)...and how just a few simple tricks of even just undoing a button or taking off a belt can improve the look for your body shape ❤️

[@nikkipayne9940]

Gosh I cried. Fennella just voiced exactly how I feel at 61. You're a beautiful woman honey bun and look fabulous xx

[@deesepointon4523]

Fenella looks absolutely gorgeous. Seeing her so thrilled was wonderful and overwhelming. Trinny and team - thank you for being so warm and welcoming and for giving Fenella a special day she will never forget ❤️

[@gloriacalloway6908]

She looks fantastic

[@sarahberney]

Oh my heart oh my heart oh my heart 💗💗💗. Fenella you look beautiful and you made me cry! How lovely 🥰 to see this transformation - well done Trinny and Team 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@sherribetz9241]

So glad Trinny Takeover is back! I cry every time! Wonderful to see you lovingly support Fanella, Trinny!

[@nicoleargent5394]

I love how Trinny has absolutely crossed barriers in TV/social media - an absolute entrepreneur who has created a media all unto herself completely without a station/production company. This felt like I was watching a legitimate tv show on the telly. Incredible

[@sue7621]

Well done Trinny! 🙌🤗♥️🌹💄

[@debashreetudu1]

Awww Fenella is so pretty but by the end she just enhanced her beauty with help , can see the confidence in her smile. Love love Trinny and Team.

[@jimena4427]

I wouldn't mind longer episodes! Especially the buying clothes part 🙏🙏🙏😘

[@sallycutler6381]

Made me cry a lot !! When Trinny said that someone shouldn’t be defined by age or size - but SHAPE ! Blew my mind !!

[@joannestinson3753]

Omg…. When I saw today,I was absolutely thrilled! More! More! More!

[@PeachyNanaUK]

Oh my goodness the best makeover ever. She looks fab and at least ten years younger. Fenella seems like a lovely lady.

[@sarahluvburkhardt5755]

She looks stunning!!!! I can't get over what a difference her cut and color made on her! It looked perfect!

[@m.n.higueras7051]

I am in my fifties too and I entirely relate to how Fenella is feeling. I was looking forward to the new Takeover show series. Hurrah!!!

[@DM-ss8mh]

Oh my goodness what a wonderful experience you've given this beautiful kind lady. My heart is bursting with joy💖❤💖💞💕

[@winnybatra]

No words to say,just tears in my eyes.thankyou Trinny for making difference in someone's life 👍🥰

[@kittymetal186]

Wonderful to see lovely Fenella have a special day for herself, she must be busy as a GP. My favourite dress was the print - Boden does amazing dresses for all shapes. Coincidentally I'm actually wearing one of mine as I watched this video! The make-up was perfect and the colours suited Fenella so well. Beautiful hair too. Everyone made her have a dream day!

[@jenniferminshall6109]

😭what a transformation..fabulous job Trinny..❤💥🇭🇲🥳⚘

[@theresawaveyme4482]

Your the sweetest Trinny. So kind! Enjoy your show immensely.

[@adellaeltantawy9345]

Nice to see a GP getting some TLC. 🎉 A lot of people need a good pampeing right now. This was lovely. 😊❤

[@slippery-out-there]

Absolutely brilliant to see her like herself as she is….with some schussing 🥰

[@elsacouto209]

I love the confidence Trinny give to women. It's very empowering!

[@kristyreynolds8334]

Trinny, you are so supportive and genuine. You are a gem!

[@erica6825]

And Trinny, your dress is soooo gorgeous! I don't normally like prints, but this is pure Spring.

[@shortwaist]

oh goodness i fell in love with her instantly. i about died seeing her in the green+pink pant and blouse set with the green bag. all of these fun prints and colors with a modern twist suit her so beautifully. i was so hoping they'd bring her blonde, it looks incredible. i got teary seeing her transformation and her bond with her dear friend. cheers fenella so glad you did this, what a joy to watch you!

[@Cirandadebeleza]

So glad to see the series is back! Fenella is gorgeous!

[@maryfitzpatrick3252]

Love the hair; really reflects her personality 🎉

[@cristinabenavente199]

So lovely Trinny changing womens lives one by one ,.. you are doing such great work!🙏🏼

[@lbyrne74]

Love the way jackets give structure etc. Wonderful the way you boosted Fennella's confidence. We can all be so hard on ourselves.

[@SusanBRoman-ch9bm]

Lovely!!!! Fenella is so sweet and I am so glad that you went to Boden! Their clothes make me happy.

[@paulinewinch9365]

Fenella really does look stunning, qnd the confidence and happiness is just amazing, so chuffed for her. X

[@annsandlund8376]

Oh my God, how great to see Fenella blossom. Trinny & her crew work wonders, and I'm amazes, as always, when Trinny interacts with people. It's a gift she has, which she has perfected. I've had a shitty decade, but I'm back and I do lots of things to enhance myself too.

[@karievans-webb1134]

Yay!! Fanella got the blue and white dress!! So pretty and fun. Hope she reconnects to who she wants to be seen as. Love it. 💕

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

WOW ! The girl looks 15 years younger ! 🤗 Blue and white dress is fab on her ! 😍

[@alteredcatscyprus]

Woohoo! It’s back! 🙌 Can’t wait to watch!!!

[@alteredcatscyprus]

oahhh, that was great. She looks like someone who cares for herself now and it’s brilliant. The brights and lively patterns suit her beautiful, light emanating presence, and she’s got that perfect color hair to highlight blonde . She glittered before, but she fully sparkles now! Good job, team! You all look like such caring people ❤ And so many great tips. I am short necked, short waisted and broad shouldered and I have to stay away from those longer short sleeves, too. They are terribly unflattering on me. Cami’s, cap sleeves, 3/4, or long only for me.

[@losingmychic]

Wow what an extraordinary thing watching this lovely lady be enhanced by Trinny and her magical team…emotional and moving, best one yet! 😻😭🥰😻

[@swapnasaritarath7490]

Great great series

[@victoriagadd6831]

She’s such a pretty pretty lady - her looks are not her priority. And she’s led a life. Oh and all her animals. Kudos to this lovely lady, Fenella. She’s fab. She looks gorgeous as she is/was - fantastic lady. But of course Trinny can always make a person realise their full potential in a realistic stylish way. Kudos to her too. Love Trinny - and she’s the first to highlight her own shortcomings. Awww ….. you are both fab ladies.
