Julianne Hough continues to be a central figure in Dancing with the Stars lore, balancing her past as a pro dancer with her present as a television personality and style icon. In a recent conversation, she reflected on a frightening health moment from her time on the ballroom floor, showcased her chic fashion sense on morning TV, and even received a surprising proposal to return to the competition.

Health Struggles During Season 7

Hough revealed that during Season 7 of Dancing with the Stars in 2008, she suffered a burst cyst that sent her to the hospital.

The candid story highlights the immense physical toll the competition can take on even its most accomplished performers.

Making a Statement in Fashion

Beyond her dance career, Hough’s style continues to grab attention. She appeared on Good Morning America wearing sharp white ankle-strap pumps that paired with a sleek ensemble, drawing coverage from WWD. The look reinforced her reputation as a trendsetter and a star who seamlessly merges performance with fashion.
