Julianne Hough Sparkles in Bejeweled Gown and Hidden Platforms at Tony Awards 2022

Julianne Hough made a sparkly statement on the red carpet at the 2022 Tony Awards.

Arriving with her “The Tony Awards: Act One” co-host Darren Criss at Radio City Music Hall, Hough was elegantly dressed in a glamorous gown by New York designer Pamella Roland. Hailing from Roland’s resort ’23 collection, Hough’s black gown featured a column silhouette with thin off-the-shoulder sleeves and a daring plunging neckline. Giving the piece an enchanting appearance were embroidered and draped crystal embellishments, creating the illusion of Hough’s bodice being wrapped in glittering jewelry.

When it came to shoes, Hough’s footwear wasn’t visible beneath her gown’s long train. However, the “POTUS” star was seen on FN‘s red carpet coverage on Instagram in a set of strappy platform heels that were hidden under her evening wear. The style appeared to feature black uppers with thick platform soles, as well as peep-toe and crossed front straps for added security. Completing the pair were soaring stiletto heels totaling at least 4 inches in height, giving Hough a bold height boost that smoothly coordinated with her Roland gown.
