A local woman who got an "ambush makeover" via the "Live with Regis & Kelly" show revealed her new look this morning.

In a word: Wow. Tonya Braswell of the Battleboro community in Rocky Mount looked great in a sleeveless faux wrap shift dress with ruching, that showed off her slim figure. "The Fashion Guy" Lawrence Zarian also helped Braswell with a new 'do. Her hair was cut, colored and styled in a flattering layered look. (Here's her "before" shot.) The show airs weekdays at 9 on WTVD.

Braswell is a 1st grade teacher and single mother of three, who was secretly entered into the show's "Rescue Me Ambush Makeover" week contest by her friend Laura Hoarty.

Rocky Mount, can you handle this red hot mama?
