Style expert Jill Martin and celebrity hairstylist Louis Licari dressed Erica and Denise in brand new outfits — but didn't stop there. The duo also gave the best two ladies chic new hairstyles and trendy makeup to complete their new looks.
Check out the stylish ensembles that will have them ready for the Super Bowl showdown!
Erica
Erica Markley came all the way to the Big Apple from Weatherford, Texas, with her husband and two of her sons. She's visiting the city to celebrate her 40th birthday on Sunday — little did she know she would be doing it in style! After a busy week of touring, Erica and her family finally made it to Studio 1A.
Although she was a bit reluctant at first, Erica was eventually convinced by her loved ones to take a chance on an Ambush Makeover. This working mom of four definitely deserved to celebrate with a new look ahead of her Sunday celebration as she cheers on the 49ers!
