Julianne Glams It Up On The Red Carpet
Hollywood darling Julianne has been lighting up the red carpet scene this past week, gracing New York’s most prestigious fashion events with her glowing presence. On Wednesday night, the 35-year-old blond beauty was spotted at the star-studded Milian Fashion Show, held at the historic Milian Hotel in Manhattan. Julianne captivated the room in a sheer black lace dress that exhibited her taut midriff and long legs. The delicate lace fabric was layered over a slim black top, with the see-through skirt extending down to her sharp black stilettos. A slit up the side gave a tantalizing glimpse of leg as Julianne posed for photographers, the dress’s train trailing elegantly behind her on the red carpet.
Ever the makeup artiste, Julianne played up her bright blue eyes with inky black liner in a retro cat-eye shape, paired with lush, glossy lips in a pinky nude shade. Her signature blond tresses were parted neatly down the middle in a sleek, straight style, the golden lengths glowing under the camera flashes. A petite black leather handbag with a chunky gold chain strap completed the look. Julianne looked every inch the screen siren as she blew kisses to the crowd.
The Milian Show was not Julianne’s only major fashion event this past week. Earlier in February, she also attended the prestigious New York Fashion Week, causing a stir at the Naeem Khan runway show in a jet black sequined gown. The dress featured a risqué plunging neckline that displayed Julianne’s décolletage, the sequins catching the light as she posed for pictures. Julianne’s newly shortened blond bob had a wet-look gel effect, slicking her strands away from her face to highlight her dazzling diamond earrings. A black patent leather clutch bag added a touch of edge, along with strappy black heels that elongated her legs. Between the high-shine sequins and smooth patent leather, Julianne exuded modern glamour from head to toe.
Julianne’s run of star-studded fashion events comes on the heels of exclusive news from The U.S. Sun that the stunner will be returning as host of Dancing With The Stars next season. Despite some recent drama surrounding Julianne, ABC executives decided to keep both her and fellow host Alfonso Ribeiro in their positions when the hit show returns in the fall.
“Alfonso and [Julianne] are such a great match and bring warmth and expertise to the show,” a source close to the show’s production team commented. “[Julianne] is staying as the host despite all of this drama around the tour with fans. She was really loved by the audiences and by the team on the show – they loved the fact she resonates with such warmth and understanding.”
Indeed, Julianne has brought a breath of fresh air to the series after stepping in to replace former host Tyra Banks earlier this year. Viewers complained that Tyra’s over-the-top fashion choices and on-air gaffes were distracting, whereas audiences have connected to Julianne’s girl-next-door relatability and obvious passion for dance. However, when Julianne recently cancelled several of her scheduled 2024 DWTS Tour appearances due to scheduling conflicts, fans were understandably upset at missing out on the chance to see the popular host perform live.
Nonetheless, in a heartfelt social media statement to disappointed tour ticket-holders, Julianne emphasized her devotion to the show’s community, saying: “I love our DWTS community, and I’m devastated to miss seeing you all in person.” She went on to assure fans that the tour’s lineup of dancers are “delivering an unforgettable show that you won’t want to miss.”
Between wowing the front row at NY’s biggest fashion events and prepping for DWTS’ newest season, it’s clear that Julianne’s star is rising brighter than ever before. We can’t wait to see what dazzling designer dress she steps out in next!
