Julianne Hough Dancing With The Stars Season 19 Semi-Finals Style Blog

Did you like Julianne Hough’s look and dress on Dancing With The Stars last night? I think her dress was one of my most favorites of the season. The color looked so elegant and pretty on her. I loved all the jewels on it. Be sure to see People as they discuss how Julianne put the look together. They have included some fun “behind the scenes” shots as well. Beautiful!!

Hough returned to a favorite designer, Jenny Packham (who apparently doesn’t hold this incident against her!) for her elegant beaded gown. “Jenny Packham is one of my ‘go to’ designers. It’s very rare I try on one of her dresses without falling in love with it,” Hough tells PEOPLE. “This whole look has a very Ginger Rogers 1930s vibe, with our own modern twist. We ‘blinged’ it out a little with these simple and elegant Aspiri diamond studs.”

Styling advice came courtesy of Anita Patrickson, who says she was excited to contrast Hough’s “strong sleek looks” of late with a much girlier look. “It made me want to see Fred Astaire twirl Julianne around under a starry sky!” she says. “Jules loved it … The green is so gorgeous with her coloring and of course the fabulous shoulders are the perfect focal point for sitting at the judges’ panel!”
