I was thinking the same thing, but then I thought about it some more, and I think I have a theory. Throughout the film we see each of them discovering their magic abilities, but they really can't control them all that well. And in some cases, like Twilight, they can come and go. Maybe their magic powers come thorugh their proximity to the necklace, which for almost the whole film was around Gloriosa's neck, and then once they could actually put them on, then that gave them complete control over their powers which would allow them to transform.
