It was an all-black affair for Julianne Hough when she attended the Alliance for Women in Media Foundation’s 2026 Gracie Awards Gala at Beverly Wilshire, A Four Seasons Hotel, on Tuesday in California.

The “Dancing With the Stars” cohost opted for a black Tom Ford dress with black Saint Laurent heels. She opted for the brand’s Babylone sandals in all-black smooth leather. The strappy stiletto sandals sit on a heel that measures 3.5 inches and slightly flares at the base.
The shoes are decorated with the Cassandre, the iconic and interlaced “YSL” emblem used by the luxury fashion house on their products, which is the sandal’s standout feature. The emblem is made from brass in a bronze-tone metal shade, becoming the only pop of color in the monochrome ensemble.
There’s a Saint Laurent printed logo on the sole that is in the same bronze color as the Cassandre. The open-toe shoes feature an almond toe and lace-up ankle straps that are adjustable. The vamp features six criss cross straps that meet in the middle, and the back of the foot is encased by a counter that is made from the same straps. The shoes retail for $1,250.
Hough paired the high heels with a Tom Ford cutout maxidress in black. The piece featured a slim halterneck tie and a daring front slit that reached the top of her leg. The dress is crafted from silk georgette and includes leather trim for the halter straps. The dress is shaped by a series of cutouts down the bodice, exposing slivers of the dancer’s skin. The strapless style features a seamed waist and a flowing full, floor-length skirt.
