Let’s take a look at how Hough’s style has changed with the times.
Amazingly, the competitive dancer was just 18 years old at the time of her debut.
As her star was rising, Hough was starting to appear at more benefits and events than ever before.

She was accompanied by her “Dancing with the Stars” partner, Apolo Ohno.
Her California-blond hair was styled in an of-the-moment cut, with bold side fringe and plenty of layers.
Hough kept jewelry to a minimum, allowing her outfit to speak for itself.

But arguably, her best accessory was her beaming smile.
Julianne Hough had a Marilyn Monroe moment
The 2000s was certainly a special decade for fashion.
She wore her tresses in a low, messy bun, complete with a braid across the side.

Her white dress, again reminiscent of Monroe, would have looked at home in Golden Age Hollywood.
She stuck to the black and white theme with black strappy pumps and a simple black boxy clutch.
In fact, it was quite the opposite.

Houghjoined the cast of “Burlesque,“playing an ambitious dancer in an LA burlesque club.
She was no longer the new kid on the block.
Now in her early 20s, her aesthetic took on a more refined appeal.

Hough wore her hair in a bouffant style, adding a touch of ’60s glam.
Unfortunately, the gorgeous dress didn’t survive the evening.
“Umm, I think I may have danced too hard … read the caption onInstagram.

Perhaps as a result of this new primetime gig, Hough’s style leveled up.
Her silver pointed pumps matched wonderfully with her bag for a little bit of extra shine.
Throughout this period, Hough’s style was fun and playful, reflecting that newlywed glow.

Most notably, she sported long silky blond tresses with a slight side part.
Hough swapped her trademark blond locks for a glossy auburn red that completely overhauled her entire look.
Her dress was a sleek cream silk Max Mara number that flowed beautifully to the floor.

Hough cemented her place in the fashion canon with this jaw-dropping slam dunk of an outfit.
The wide-legged number cradled the line between masculine and feminine wonderfully.
This ensemble is a testament to just how emboldened Hough was becoming with her fashion choices at this stage.

With a dress like this, other style elements are secondary but can’t be overlooked.
Of course, she paired the outfit with matching red lipstick.
However, she still had her mom by her side.

Hough completed the ensemble with white strappy sandals that were both stylish and practical.
Sadly, by the end of the year,Julianne Hough and Brooks Laich’s divorcewas well underway.
Jeanann Williams styled this unique Aliette design for Hough.

Williams has also styled other big names such as Naomi Watts, Monica Barbaro, and Leslie Bibb.
To say Hough is in good company would be an understatement!
Hough paired the look with a red clutch bag, but all eyes were on the dress.

Her ability to put a personal twist on a look was becoming undoubtable by this stage.
Julianne Hough or Poison Ivy?
With costumes like that, it’s not hard to see why!

Hough is always ready.
