How do we know? Not only do they always look incredible but the reaction from their family and friends is priceless. And this segment is no different.
Knowing the magic that stylists, Louis Licari and Jill Martin, continue to do, Aura Morrey knew she had to get her best friend, Annie Berrett on the show. So the two flew to New York and hoped to get plucked from the plaza to get the makeover of a lifetime.

The friends, who live over 2,000 miles apart and have been besties since they were teenagers. Even though they are far apart, they make a great effort to see each other at least once every year. But their 2017 summer trip to New York is going down as the most memorable reunion yet, because they were chosen to be the latest ‘ambush makeover’ recipients.
“No one deserves a makeover more than my friend Annie,” Aura said.
