The Trinny Takeover Show | Season 5, Episode 1: Laura | Trinny

Ever feel like you’ve lost sight of your confidence? You’re not alone - Join Laura as she discovers the immense beauty that comes from feeling powerful. She was diagnosed with alopecia at 13, and now at 31 she’s ready to embrace her va-va-voom beyond the confines of her wig. With Trinny’s help, it’s time to add a little energy and colour back into her wardrobe (and her beauty bag) to match the confident, joyous, powerful woman inside…
And if Laura could say one thing to young girls with alopecia? “It’s all going to be okay - in fact, it’s going to be fabulous.”
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.

We are a mahoosive supportive community ❤

[@whiskersBOOSTER2]

The more I watch these, the more I’m amazed by Tinny. She’s incredible.

[@rachelsturman-panter1135]

Fabulous. I have developed the confidence to go bald most of the time. It has taken years but it's also very cathartic. 3 years ago I walked my daughter down the aisle at her wedding. We didn't think a wig was appropriate as everyone is so used to me being bald, they would have wondered who this random woman on the wedding pics was! I wish I had a magic wand to give younger fellow baldies the same confidence. I am proud to be badass and bald!

[@Artybracknell]

Looking beautiful, love that blue/purple colour. Love this show, it should be longer and on Netflix.

[@judyking6913]

What a vibrant personality and an amazing transformation. 💛

[@TrinnyLondon]

well said X

[@sandjune2753]

thats great that Trinny is helping people a woman with Alopecia. Personally as a AU sufferer I would never be bald out of the house ever. To me as the lady says having hair makes me feel normal . accepted, beautiful, and whole as a person. This lady is brave and happy to be bald, but most are not. Me included.

[@vanessaedwards7894]

OHHHHH my GGGOODNESSSSS!! Toooooooo GOOD! Laura looks KICKASS BOSS WOMAN GLAM! The blue and purple boots - absolute genius. Watch out world, here comes LAURA!!!!! Sending you warm wishes that you hold on to and amplify the feeling from this day. Your power is palpable through the screen, truly. - from a fellow former Takeover Show participant 😊

[@laurakaminski8005]

Laura has an inner strength that shine. She looks feminine and beautiful.

[@altheanorris3555]

Laura you look powerful and FEMININE! You're truly an inspiration and I hope you kept up with the color popping bc you look absolutely fabulous in color!

[@michelejrogers7644]

What an incredible woman Laura is, and who doesn't love Trinny

[@teqeliabradford1324]

Omgoodness so beautiful. The energy she is giving what is suppose to be given. 💗 it.

[@traciebreen8614]

As a new member of the Trinny tribe I am absolutely blown away by the power of Trinny to empower women through fashion and beauty. Laura is fabulous and I feel privileged to have shared her journey to fabulousness. An inspirational woman !

[@RelightAlopecia]

Thank yoooou ❤

[@TrinnyLondon]

what an amazing woman X

[@RelightAlopecia]

Thank yoooou for watching ❤

[@lizcromwell1899]

I have had alopecia for 74 years I have to say I was meant to see this tonight for a reason. I have been married 56 years and my husband has never seen me without my wig... oh I wish I had this experience..my life would be so different

[@jsherry3647]

She looks gorgeous! Congratulations Trinny and team!

[@nym2866]

LOVING THIS ! The Trinny makeover show❤️‍🔥

[@zabindhanji]

Bravo Laura! Bravo Trinny for supporting Laura on her journey to find her beauty sans wig. I have had to wear a wig as a result of partial hair loss due to medical treatment. Laura is absolutely right, my main worry is about being 'de-wigged'. I am not dating at the moment as I am not comfortable with having the conversation about my hair and wearing a wig. I am so blessed that it is growing back and recently I went to a dinner party sans wig. It was so liberating!

[@marcyzaslow1961]

Thank you Laura and Trinny for showing that women with Alopecia and are curvy can rock.

[@erica6825]

I can just see that Laura is going to be so much happier now, not having to anticipate that dreaded moment when she'll have to 'admit' to having no hair. Great job Trinny, wonderful and kind and clever as always!

[@jolaurence5893]

Thanks Trinnie and Laura. Laura you brought tears to my eyes and gave hope asi am starting my alopecia journey.

[@brummiebitch2010]

Thank you for educating people on Alopecia ❤️❤️❤️ Laura you look amazing, I wish I had your confidence.

[@sylviaharris7792]

Laura, you look fabulous. My daughter who's 13 and has alopecia ditched her hats and wigs a year ago because she felt they were ruining her outfits. My daughter looks eye catchingly stunning with her bald head and so do you. Well done Trinny.

[@lilithowl]

Wonderful synergy between Laura & Trinny. Laura's confidence was really brought to the fore. She looked fabulous, all the best to her.

[@shortwaist]

"i'm a bald woman, so why not make people look" !!! she is everything. what a beautiful magnetic woman. you just want to be in her energy!

[@yellowbags]

God she looks amazing. She has a great face for film and photography as well. She should be one of your models!

[@anibalopina]

This makeover was incredible. Laura immediately looked badass with the first blue suit and sunglasses. Shout out to Trinny. I am amazed by her taste and her encyclopedic knowledge and also her approach to people, so different from those WNTW times

[@helenalinderroslund7626]

What a beautiful show, to see Trinny boost this young woman to believe in herself and embrace who she really is. Brave Laura, keep on shining and dazzle!

[@joyallison4066]

Laura is so beautiful! Beautiful eyes, beautiful smile!

[@sandraprasetyo3888]

She is gorgeous and powerful. Thanks Trinny...

[@UsernamesForDummies]

It’s amazing to me how understanding and connected Trinny is with people who struggle with the way they look. Trinny is, at least to me, an incredibly attractive, chic and sexy woman in her 50s. She has great hair, a fabulous figure, good skin and style. You’d be forgiven to think that she has basically no experience and insight into feeling less than…and there she is, uplifting and enormously encouraging in a way that lets other women bare their fears and insecurities. I wished she could help me find my way back to how I once felt; attractive, desirable and strong.

[@abemoni]

Such a beautiful girl! She looked gorgeous post makeover, the blue on her was wowee

[@Elletorryshred]

Absolutely love this Trinny!! Well done Laura- you look beautiful 💪🏻🌸💫💫💫

[@hanomazom9670]

She's gorgeausly beautiful, the blue outfit was crazy impressive and powerful and really revealed her in her glory ❤❤❤

[@lisapalmer2458]

She looks so good in color! I think that with no hair, she can be even more colorful with her clothes. Hair has color that has to be taken into account when choosing an outfit. Without hair there is more opportunity for freedom dressing in color.

[@rebeccaflynn9314]

Laura you made me cry and you are beautiful and powerful. You are an inspiration by not being afraid to be yourself

[@ofelia7077]

Laura, I am not just saying this to be understanding or supportive, you are very powerful and beautiful without the hair. I was writing this just before you started talking about it… Fab episode Tinny & Co ❤

[@HP-hz5ns]

👏👏👏 the first thing I saw were Laura's eyes!!!, you have beautiful eyes Laura, & they say the eyes are the windows to your soul! Beautiful woman!, and you look AMAZING in colour 💙

[@martinakeane3841]

I loved every minute of this. Such a transformation. You did it again Trinny. You’ve given Laura back her confidence and she looks incredible. Laura your beautiful and I’m so glad your able to embrace who you are and that Trinny and all your friends have helped make that happen for you. I love your outfit

[@TrinnyLondon]

💛

[@lonawhitten6854]

Laura is STUNNING!!! She is giving off such positive energy...AND THOSE BEE STUNG LIPS!!! GORGEOUS 🥰

[@mariearmstrong9617]

I agree Laura you do look fabulous ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Stunning 🥰

[@katiehadwen-beck8146]

Laura, you are such a stunner. What a face! So beautiful. Save the money you would have spent on wigs and get fab statement earrings and make-up! Such a positive and exciting transformation. And the colour! Wowzers!!!!! ❤❤

[@eleanorkirby2600]

Her skin is just so amazing. She was beautiful to start with, you just gave her the confidence to be herself. 💖 That is a real gift, to be able to help others in that way. Trinny at her very best. 😊

[@tracygooyers3702]

I'm in tears watching this. So fabulous.

[@waterdragon2224]

What a beautiful young lady, a great inspiration to others with alopecia. I absolutely loved the makeup they did. She was stunning!

[@SandraVLewis1]

What a beautiful woman and the makeup on her head completed the look, well done, she looked a strong woman and Trinny you did that for her.

[@lindawendling3007]

Trinny is MAGICAL ! This makeover fills my heart with hope that all women will celebrate their individualities and those of every other unique and beautiful lhuman being on the planet ! When all is said and done, the only truth in this world is that all we have is each other.

[@LMSQA]

What an inspiring, powerful way to start the new year! Trinny, we need Laura as a model for Trinny London! I definitely felt Laura’s emotional shift and I hope she continues on her journey to empower women to be their best selves.

[@RelightAlopecia]

[@BCHezza]

So beautiful! This will be a hard act to follow (but of course I look forward to seeing what Trinny does next)

[@piggybackpain]

First day back at working (working from home), it’s not even 9am and I’m crying. Well done. Laura you look fabulous. Give this woman a show to host!

[@RelightAlopecia]

Hahaa yes please to hosting anything with Trinny!

[@jasonmoreau-mccoy8406]

[@sandrahughes9050]

What a beautiful, intelligent woman Laura is. She has a huge personality under her insecurity that the World needs to know about. Well done Trinny for helping her to see this. xx

[@nogoodoboyo]

Laura looks amazing. Naturally good looking woman who Trinny helped.evolve. love these episodes.

[@ina7747]

Wow! That was a huge transformation; without the wig and wearing that gorgeous cobalt blue suit Laura looked so powerful and confident. I also loved the final outfit and the make-up; people will look at her for all the right reasons; I was really blown away by this transformation. You rock, Laura!

[@paulinethomas1611]

This was a good show of truly helping a woman with a difficult and emotional issue to feel her best.

[@beverleytorrance427]

She looks fabulous. Lovely girl.

[@sarahwarren2602]

This episode makes my heart smile..

[@louiseeriksson6515]

What a lovely start of the new season! I absolutely love all the colors, matching purple with the blue was a moment! And yes, off with the wig, she looks like a rock star, a queen, a goddess!

[@danielaciao1]

I think there is a place for beautiful scarves draped in different styles that look so chic. And hats. Just saying, that Laura can still wear interesting head gear at times, rather than wigs to accentuate her outfit or mood. Head accessories can be cool. And she has the sass to carry off an interesting look. Clothes and head wise. All the best Laura!

[@lol365]

What an incredible transformation - Trinny, you helped Laura rediscover her vibrancy!

[@ruthdinkelman6345]

My daughter was 15 and because of chemo her hair felt out. Now she is better and 16 but her losing het hair was tough. But she embrased it. Love this video. She is so sweet. Looks so pretty. Love the outfit!

[@karenanderson7280]

Absolutely amazing episode, positive and uplifting. Great job 👏🏻

[@hellomeloO]

She has such a beautiful face. I love how the makeup was used to bring attention to her features.

[@fictionlove07]

Such a beautiful rendition from someone who thought she is not enough to someone to loves herself a lot just with a pop bombastic color palette, that transcends her alopecia.

[@reneel9570]

Powerful and beautiful. This was an amazing episode

[@sjay6668]

That is an eye opening video. Brave and beautiful girl. Trinny really gets it

[@clarerobertson7114]

This is amazing. Go Laura. Trinny - Laura would make a fabulous model / ambassador for the Trinny London brand?!
