Julianne Hough's Week Eight 'Dancing With The Stars' Look Included Shorter Hair And Lots Of Skin

Julianne Hough looked sexy and chic as she sat on the judge's panel for week eight of Dancing With the Stars season 19. The former DWTS pro sported a shorter haircut and revealed lots of skin in her latest look.

The 26-year-old wore a gorgeous Self-Portrait dress that had portions of mesh that showed off her killer physique. "This is the second time I have worn Self-Portrait - I love finding new, cool designers!" Julianne told People.

"[Stylist] Anita [Patrickson] and I tried this dress on a while ago and loved the color palette and also how fashion forward it felt without trying too hard. I love the shape and the sexy sheer panels. The black fabric has a slick element to it that almost shines. Super cool and so fun to wear!"

"This look is all about high fashion edginess and bringing a little sass back. Last week was a really romantic silhouette, with a soft and vintage inspired neckline so we wanted to amp it up a little and turn up the glam factor," Patrickson added when talking to the publication.

Julianne also took over Nine Zero Nine, a hair salon in West Hollywood's Instagram account showing her pre show transformation for this week's DWTS episode. "Hair done! Can you tell I LOVE texture?" the dancer turned judge wrote on with a picture of her new 'do.

To start off Julianne's sexy and chic look this week, she got a new haircut to add a little spice to her already fashionable look. "I took about 2 inches off all around, to show off her neckline a little more. By doing so, this creates a sexier, chicer vibe (versus the traditional shoulder length bob) which went perfectly with the high neckline in the dress," Riawna Capri, Julianne's hairstylist explained to People.

To show off her finished look, the young performer shared a full-length photo of herself in the killer dress. "Ta-da! The finished look, head to toe! Huge thanks to my amazing team," she said.
