Woodall initially rose to fame as part of a makeover duo with Susannah Constantine, with whom she teamed up to write a weekly fashion column for The Daily Telegraph. They were then commissioned by the BBC to host What Not to Wear in 2001, which was followed by several other television projects, books and clothing ranges. In 2017, Woodall launched her direct-to-consumer beauty brand, Trinny London, which currently employs over 190 people. ## Career[edit] ### Early career[edit] Woodall and Susannah Constantine first collaborated in 1996 on Ready to Wear, a weekly style guide for The Daily Telegraph which ran for seven years.[2] The style guide highlighted affordable high-street fashion, with the pair using themselves to demonstrate clothing that suited different figures. [3] Woodall assumed the role of stylist and made the duo's business decisions.[4] ### Television[edit] Woodall and Constantine became household names as co-hosts and fashion advisors for five series of the BBC television series What Not to Wear. They combined their fashion knowledge and their infamous straight-talking advice to improve the dress sense of the candidates selected for the show. In 2002, Woodall and Constantine won a Royal Television Society Award for their work on What Not to Wear, in the category of best factual presenter.[5] The show itself was nominated for the Features Award at the BAFTAS in both 2002 and 2003.[6] With What Not to Wear proving popular on BBC America, they frequently contributed as makeover and fashion experts on The Oprah Winfrey Show.[7] After What Not to Wear, Woodall and Constantine transferred from the BBC to ITV, and Constantine began their new television show, Trinny & Susannah Undress..., in 2006. Woodall has also made regular appearances giving fashion and beauty advice on shows such as This Morning, The Today Show and The Marilyn Denis Show. ### Books[edit] Woodall and Constantine have co-written numerous fashion advice books, which have sold over 3 million copies worldwide.[8] Their books have been translated throughout the world [9] and have placed them number one on both The Sunday Times best-seller list[10] and The New York Times best-seller list.[11] ### Trinny London[edit] In 2017, Woodall founded beauty brand Trinny London, which aims to help people “rethink their routine” with personalised makeup and skincare products. ## Awards[edit] Year | Country | Recipient | Award given by: | Details | | | | 2018 | UK | Trinny London | Woman & Home Beauty Awards | The Trinny London Stack won for Best Makeup Innovation 2018 | UK | Trinny London | Woman & Home Beauty Awards | Won for Best New Brand: Makeup 2018 | UK | Trinny London | Positive Luxury Awards | Won the Brand To Trust Award 2018 | UK | Trinny London | Natwest Every Woman Awards | Won the Brand Of The Future Award 2020 | UK | Trinny Woodall and Trinny London | CEW Achiever Awards | Trinny Woodall won the Achiever Award Trinny London won the Digital Achiever Award 2021 | UK | Trinny London | Velvet Magazine | Trinny London’s Lip2Cheek won the Cheek Colour category 2021 | UK | Trinny London | Velvet Magazine | Trinny London’s Miracle Blur won the Magic Trick category 2022 | Canada | Trinny London | The Kit Beauty Disrupter Awards | Trinny London’s Be Your Best cleanser won the Best Cleanser category 2021 | UK | Trinny London | CEW Awards | Trinny London’s BFF De-Stress won Best Face Makeup Prestige category 2022 | UK | Trinny London | New You Beauty Awards | Trinny London’s T-Kit brushes won the Tools of the Trade category 2022 | UK | Trinny London | SheerLuxe Beauty Awards | Trinny London’s BFF SPF 30 Cream won Best Tinted Moisturiser (Readers’ Choice) 2022 | UK | Trinny London | Cosmopolitan | Trinny London’s Plump Up serum won Best Hydrating Serum 2022 | UK | Trinny London | Good Housekeeping Beauty Icons Awards | Trinny London’s Stacks won 2021 | US | Trinny London | Allure Best of Beauty 2021 | Trinny London’s BFF Eye won Best Brightening Eye Cream 2022 | UK | Trinny London | Sifted | Fastest-Growing Direct-to-Consumer Startup 2020 2021 | UK | Trinny Woodall | LDC | Top 50 Most Ambitious Business Leaders The Digital Disruptor Award 2021 | UK | Trinny London | JP Morgan | JP Morgan Top 200 Female-Powered Businesses in the UK 2022 | Australia | Trinny London | Prevention The Best of Beauty Awards | Trinny London’s Be Your Best Enzyme Balm Cleanser won 2022 | Global | Trinny London | Beauty Inc Awards | Won Product of the Year – Skincare ## Television credits[edit] Year | Programme | Other notes | | 2001–2005 | What Not to Wear | Herself 2002 | The Kumars at No. 42 | Herself, interview 2003 | What Not to Wear on the Red Carpet | Herself V Graham Norton | Herself, interview Parkinson | Herself, interview 2004 | The Terry and Gaby Show | Herself, interview Friday Night with Jonathan Ross | Herself, interview Children in Need | Herself Top Gear | Herself, interview and racing This Morning | Herself, interview 2005 | Comic Relief: Red Nose Night Live 05 | Herself Parkinson | Herself, interview This Morning | Herself, interview Doctor Who | Episode "Bad Wolf", voice of Trine-e 2006 | Parkinson | Herself, interview This Morning | Herself, interview Sport Relief | Herself Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway | Herself, interview The Sharon Osbourne Show | Herself, interview The View | Herself, interview The Today Show | Herself 2006–2007 | Trinny & Susannah Undress... | Herself 2007 | Richard & Judy | Herself, interview Comic Relief Does The Apprentice | Herself, contestant Friday Night with Jonathan Ross | Herself, interview GMTV; LK Today | Herself, interview Good Morning America | Herself This Morning | Herself 2009 | Making Over America | Herself Would I lie To You?
