They were alicorns already when overthrowing Sombra as seen in the flashback. It´s likely that they were alicorns also when turning Discord into stone. I think they were born alicorns since they are two most powerful ponies in Equestria, the princesses of night and day. The other ones who get turned to alicorns are these less-needed princesses like Cadance is the princess of love.
