Julianne Hough Stuns in White Jumpsuit at Oscars 2024, Turning Heads on the Red Carpet with a Shiny Top

Julianne Hough exuded glamour while arriving to the 96th Annual Academy Awards in Hollywood, California on Sunday. 

While preparing to host the Oscars red carpet pre-show alongside Vanessa Hudgens, who unveiled her pregnancy ahead of the ceremony, the 35-year-old dancer ensured all eyes were on her in an eye-catching white jumpsuit with a gold and silver top from Alexandre Vauthier. 

She accessorized her chic look, complete with pockets, with a stunning necklace wrapped in diamonds, large pair of gold earrings and nude platform heels.

Her stylish bob hairstyle, which hovered several inches above her toned shoulders, was straightened for the occasion.

Ahead of the show, Hough joked that she was going to wear a ‘terrycloth dress’ to the event before revealing she was only ‘kidding.’ 

The Safe Haven actress particularly high spirits as she danced around behind-the-scenes and mingled with other attendees. 

After posing for various solo shots, Hough was spotted mingling with Hudgens, 35, and fawning over her baby bump. 

At one point, she was seen sweetly placing her hand on the High School Musical star’s stomach.

The pals were hosting The Oscars Red Carpet Show together. 

They worked together on 2016’s TV special Grease: Live; Julianne was Sandy and Vanessa was Rizzo.

Hudgens met Cole during a Zoom meditation session during lockdown. Cole is a professional baseball player on the Seattle Mariners.

Hudgens’ pregnancy announcement comes after months of speculation that she and her husband Cole Tucker were expecting their first child.

Vanessa and Cole got engaged in February 2023.

She tied the knot with MLB player this past December, following three years of dating. 

They wed in Tulum, Mexico, ten months after they got engaged.

The beauty’s confirmation of her pregnancy on Hollywood’s biggest night comes just days after she recalled feeling ‘fat’ after ‘rude’ pregnancy speculation during her bachelorette party in October 2023 in Aspen, Colorado.

‘I went out on my bachelorette and I posted video of me and there are all these comments that are like, “Oh my god. You’re pregnant.” And I’m like, that is so rude. I’m sorry, I don’t wear Spanx every day and I’m a real woman and have a real body.’ 

She added, ‘I’m literally celebrating one of the happiest times of my life, and you guys are just gonna make me feel fat. That’s great. Thanks.’

Hudgens went on to discuss ‘the four agreements’ women should stick by.

‘One of them is don’t make assumptions… in all aspects of life, but especially over other women’s bodies,’ she stated. 

‘We deal with so much with other people trying to control our bodies, not let’s not make assumptions over other women’s bodies as well.’

In the original video from her bachelorette, Vanessa wore plenty of baggy clothing, with many of her followers quick to ask if she was pregnant in the comments section.

However Vanessa did not take too kindly to the speculation as she replied: ‘[eyeroll emoji] not pregnant so y’all can stop.’

There were plenty of commenters who jumped to the conclusion that she was expecting with the baseball player, as one wrote ‘omg she’s preggers’ and another said ‘she’s pregnant indeed.’ 

Others came to Vanessa’s defense as one said: ‘For those commenting about pregnancy is rude. We’re human! She’s happy so please don’t comment about her body if u don’t want anyone asking u.’

Elsewhere on the podcast Vanessa shared she was ‘grateful’ for her split from Dune star Austin Butler, 32, as she ended up meeting her forever person soon after – her husband Cole.

Hudgens split from Butler split after nearly 10 years together in 2020. Austin went on to date Kaia Gerber, 22, whom he was first spotted with in December 2021.

As painful as her break-up from Butler was in the moment, she is now able to reframe the split as a positive given she began a relationship with her now-husband not long after.

‘I feel my last breakup has really catapulted me to a very, very special place, obviously. You pushed me to the right person!

‘Which I’m so grateful for! Because he’s just the most supportive, real, understanding human being that I’ve ever met.’ 

Vanessa remark about her ex arose after she was asked how certain setbacks led to her current success: ‘I feel so much of my character was built from my breakups,’ she said.

‘Also the tenacity I have I think is like from starting in my career at such an early age and dealing with so much rejection that like, you really have to build a very strong backbone in order to keep doing it when everyone’s telling you no. That builds a lot of character.’
