Julianne Hough may have been a fan favorite on "Dancing with the Stars," but her personal style has certainly improved since leaving the glitzy show. Hough's climb to stardom began with orange-toned fake tans and too much sparkle, but now she is looking both gorgeous and elegant.

Most recently, the dancer/singer/actress was stunning in a maroon mini dress while attending Us Weekly's 2012 Hot Hollywood party in Los Angeles. Hough's dress was elegant and showed some skin, while her cosmetics were off the charts. The starlet played up her pout using a peach toned lip color with a lip gloss finish. She added a touch of pink blush on her cheeks and used eye makeup to transform her big baby blues. Hough started by rimming her upper and lower lids with black eyeliner, though she made it go out in a thicker wing shape on her upper lids using a blending brush. The entertainer then applied deep charcoal eyeshadow to her creases where she then switched over to a lighter shimmering gold color.

Hough's makeup worked well with her sassy dress that had sheer fabric making up the sleeves and the upper back of the gown. The skirt of the dress was tight to her hips where it then went out in a flowy fabric for a bit of drama.
