Julianne Hough is embarking on a new chapter in her diverse career, expanding beyond her roles in dance, acting, and entrepreneurship. Known for her Emmy-winning choreography and as a co-host of “Dancing with the Stars,” Hough has already made her mark in the entertainment industry through movies like “Footloose” and “Safe Haven,” as well as her Broadway performance in “POTUS.” Now, she is focusing on building brands she loves, such as Fresh Vine Wine, a premium low-sugar wine she co-founded with actress Nina Dobrev.
On August 13, Hough will release her debut novel, “Everything We Never Knew,” a work of fiction that draws from her personal experiences while telling the story of a woman embracing her own power in enigmatic circumstances. Hough describes writing as the ultimate form of storytelling, saying, “Dancing, acting, singing, and even my entrepreneurship are all forms of expression for me. But writing is the ultimate storyteller.”
Having been an informal writer since childhood, Hough has evolved her taste in literature, favoring self-discovery themes. As her reading interests have changed, so has her fashion sense; she now favors a simple, elevated style featuring interchangeable neutrals.
In terms of her favorite items, Hough shares a selection of beloved products. She adores the La Ligne New York Andie Dress for its high-end feel without the hefty price tag, and finds comfort in custom-fit Amanu sandals. Her go-to handbag is the versatile Bottega Veneta Padded Cassette Bag, while Agmes Bubble Hoops in sterling silver remain her preferred earrings.
For footwear, Hough opts for the Loewe Flow Runner sneakers, and she appreciates the minimal coverage of San Lorenzo Bikinis for tanning. Hough’s debut novel aims to transport readers into a fictional world that explores universal experiences such as abandonment and grief, which she wishes to depict through artistic expression.
Among her favorite mood enhancers is the Mad et Len Black Afghan candle, offering a cozy, woodsy aroma. She also swears by L’Oreal Voluminous Mascara, which she credits for its long-lasting effect without flaking. The Róen Beauty Gold Lust Eyeshadow Palette captures her eye with its clean, vegan makeup.
Hough maintains her blonde hair’s brightness with L’Oreal Paris EverPure Sulfate-Free Purple Shampoo and stays active with Kinrgy, her dance and fitness platform that promotes overall wellbeing. Additionally, she treasures the scent of a blend gifted by Mariska Hargitay and enjoys the aesthetic appeal and comfort of her Parachute Linen Duvet Cover Set. In the kitchen, she loves the Our Place Cookware Set Pro for its matte finish and non-stick features, as well as the multifunctional Caraway Food Storage Set.
