During the episode of The Drew Barrymore Show, guest Dawn Benwood underwent a fashion makeover which left Barrymore in tears, reports femalefirst.co.uk. She said: "I so related. I really did. The other day, I was walking down the street, and I’ve had two C-sections, and I’m so wrecked down there that I permanently just… I can’t wear a lot of different types of pants. "The other day I was walking around, and I had this shorter shirt on, and I couldn’t keep my jacket closed. And I’m walking around, and I was [thinking], 'I don’t want anyone to see this.' "

The actress told the guest that she understands "when you have kids, and you have a busy life and your body changes and you get older and things just aren’t the same". She added, "Just hearing your story, I just thought of how I felt two days ago walking down the street on a Sunday with my daughter. I totally get it. And I’ve gotta tell you, I’m looking at you and all I see is just your beautiful hard work – that I only know because you told us, I wouldn’t know otherwise – and you look so stunning."

Barrymore told Dawn's teenage daughter in the audience that her own girls help her overcome her fashion insecurities, reports femalefirst.co.uk. She said: "Listen, you know what my daughter does? She encourages me to dress differently. And a lot of the times I feel really good." Ileana D’Cruz Defends Rihanna Against Post-Pregnancy Trolls, Says ‘Bloody Infuriating Unrealistic Expectations’ (View Post).
