— -- Sports Illustrated cover model and positive body image advocate Ashley Graham visited “Good Morning America” today to make over some deserving moms and introduce her new clothing line, Beyond by Ashley Graham, at Dress Barn.

With the help of Glamsquad’s creative director, Giovanni Vaccaro, and director of makeup artistry, Kelli Bartlett, three “GMA” moms got to look and feel beautiful again, surprising their families with the results.

Kate Sandberg has lost 30 pounds since November and she wanted help figuring out how to dress for her new body.

Ashleigh Kennedy is a high school teacher and a mother of three. Her third baby was born last September.

Alisha Powell-Lane is a mom to five teenagers. She said her kids never see her dressed up.

Take a look at the stylists' descriptions for how to get these ladies’ looks at home:

Giovanni:

Ashleigh:

We turned her into a bombshell to make her feel like the belle of the ball. We wanted her to feel like her pre-baby self: youthful, vibrant and sexy.

We wanted a hairstyle to complement her new, thinner figure. Since she's pretty low-maintenance, we wanted to give her a style that would play up her natural texture and be easy to handle at home.

How-to: To create that bombshell look, choose a medium boar brittle brush to blow dry hair with maximum body. Use spray gel and mousse like Materialist Spray Gel and Volumifique Root Lifter by Kerastase as you blow out hair to help give extra lift and movement. Over-direct by blowing hair up and away from the scalp as you blow dry for extra volume and finish by messing hair up at the end with a cool shot of air.

Kate:

We kept the length, but added a lot of fun layers that will be super easy for her to style on a daily basis. The new cut instantly adds more vibrancy to her color and brightens her entire look.

How-to: Start by creating a deep side part for an instant edgy appeal. To create these effortless, slightly undone waves on a shorter hairstyle, use a medium barrel curling iron, either 1 1/4-inch or 1 1/2-inch. Take large sections and wrap them in different directions for that slight tousled feel. Keep heat on the sections for 10 seconds before releasing. After you’ve created the waves, put a dime-sized amount of pomade like Short Mania by Kérastase in the palm of your hand and massage throughout your hair to create a tousled piece-y effect.

Alicia:

We played up her youthfulness, encouraging her to get her confidence back and feel comfortable re-exploring her strong, positive self.

We wanted to make her feel and look as glam as possible with a look that could still be easily managed on her own at home. She wears her hair pulled back a lot, so her new look has an added softness and movement in the front, while still allowing her to wear hair back. This look is all about angles.

How-to: Start by adding a styling aid like Oribe Supershine Light Moisturizing Crème to smooth out hair and add shine. Then, apply a dry texturizing spray to give hair more piecey-ness and separation. Flip hair over all to one side and finish by spraying with hair spray.

Kelli:

Ashleigh:

We upped the glam factor with a bold red carpet lip and balanced eye for a polished, sophisticated look.
