You don’t need us to tell you that @juleshough has always been that girl. The multi-hyphenate has graced our screens since the 2000s, largely thanks to her professional dancing on ‘Dancing With the Stars.’ But after a few years of starring on the silver screen, cranking out some country songs, and writing a novel, Julianne made her way back to the ballroom as a judge and, eventually, host of ‘DWTS.’ Now that season 35 is officially underway—and Julianne absolutely nailed that Paris-themed choreo during part one of the premiere—it seems like a fab time to celebrate the show’s big return to the Emmys with its first nomination in a decade. And, of course, Julianne brought us along for the ride during her glam process for the awards show. Swipe through for your exclusive behind-the-scenes look, and head to the link in bio for more!
