After braving a rainy morning on the TODAY plaza, a mother-daughter pair was rewarded with glamorous Ambush Makeovers.
Style Expert Jill Martin and Hairstylist Louis Licari chose Diane and Lauren Solomonson for the chance to get an unforgettable transformation — and dry off inside the TODAY studio!
They were hoping for a fresh new look to celebrate Diane's 35th wedding anniversary, and if the stylish blazers and jeans Jill picked are any indication, they certainly got their wish.
Lauren Solomonson
Lauren Solomonson watches Ambush Makeover with her mom every week, and originally came to support her — but when Martin and Licari suggested she join in on the fun, she jumped at the chance.
