Julianne Hough’s finale dress on DWTS (Dancing With The Stars) has sent fans Gaga as she donned the same black outfit as Lady Gaga. It was the same gown the Pokerface singer wore at the Grammys. Julianne is known for her effortlessly cool style on every show, but didn’t share any photos of the famous dress to social media.
The Dancing With The Stars host posed for pictures on the dance floor in the black Versace dress. Instantly, during finale night of the ABC series, fans picked up on that familiar-looking outfit. It’s not just Lady Gaga who wore the ensemble – as a popular model wore it on the runway earlier this year.
Julianne Hough’s DWTS finale dress
Julianne Hough’s finale dress on Dancing With The Stars (DWTS) was designed by Versace, created earlier this year. Many noticed that it’s the same outfit Lady Gaga wore to the 2023 Grammys.
Fans can buy the dress for themselves, which is selling for $14,625 on the Versace website. The long-sleeved gown is made from a very glamorous double duchesse wool and silk blend.
It also has a box-pleat, A-line skirt and a ‘nastro Gianni’ belt with a Medusa ’95 detail. Viewers are torn over the dress, with some calling it “awful” while others say it’s an “epic” move.

The majority of DWTS viewers are going crazy over where they recognize Julianne’s dress, but most of them aren’t a fan and felt like the outfit appeared as though it was falling down due to the design.
One fan said: “Oh no. Julianne’s wearing the worst dress I’ve ever seen. She had to have a miss eventually.” Another penned: “Julianne in that dress is giving Halloween vibes tbh I giggle every time.”
“Julianne with the Versace dress Lady Gaga wore is truly epic! #DWTS,” reacted a fan in favour. A fellow viewer exclaimed: “That dress Julianne is wearing looks great on her. Lady Gaga wore that same dress.”

Gigi Hadid walked the same Versace dress worn by Gaga and Hough in March 2023. The model wore the gown when she opened the Versace FW23 runway show in Los Angeles.
The skirt dipped low below her rear end, exposing Gaga’s bottom with a strategically placed zipper. It features a sheer long-sleeve bodice with exposed corset boning and a drop-waist full skirt.
Named the Medusa ’95 Bustier Box Pleat Gown, Julianne Hough’s DWTS finale outfit makes her the third celebrity to have worn the controversial dress – but was the first to wear it while hosting a competition.
