Julianne Hough stole the show at the Season 19 premiere of "Dancing with the Stars" on Monday.
Hough glittered as she took her place at the judges' table in a floor-length gown, with her hair in retro curls reminiscent of Marilyn Monroe. The 26-year-old is the fourth judge on the ABC reality competition. As a professionally trained dancer and former "DWTS" champion -- she won the mirror ball trophy in Seasons 4 and 5 -- Hough certainly has the necessary credentials.
“What Julianne brings is she was youth champion at the Blackpool [Dance Festival],” the show's executive producer Rob Wade told TheWrap. “She's a beautiful dancer and an excellent teacher. She has also been a dancer on the show, so she really understands every aspect of this.”
