Julianne Hough Stuns in Plunging Gown After Defending Bikini-Clad Sauna Video

Julianne Hough is not allowing negative comments to deter her from being active on social media. The 35-year-old star recently shared some stunning throwback photos on Instagram, showcasing one of her beautiful outfits from the Tony Awards held in June.

Julianne co-hosted the pre-show, The Tony Awards: Act One. During the event, she wore a sparkling white, floor-length gown that captured a lot of attention. The elegant dress featured thin straps, a plunging neckline with a cut-out under the bust, double side splits, and an exposed back.

In her Instagram post, she captioned a carousel of photos with, “From the lost Tony’s files,” giving her followers a glimpse of her posing backstage in the exquisite dress.

This post followed after Julianne received some negative feedback for a video she shared in June. In the clip, titled “Six Senses Sizzling Sauna Stretches,” Julianne wore a tiny brown bikini while performing various stretches in a sauna to keep her muscles loose. Despite the negative comments, she remains unfazed.

Julianne explained to People that the sauna video was a spur-of-the-moment decision. “I definitely was like, ‘Oh, this looks really good. I’m going to put a fun, sexy song to it,'” she said. Laughing about the reaction, she noted that the video got more views than some of her more serious posts, like those about her book.

Some comments on the video criticized Julianne’s slender physique, but she didn’t let that bring her down. Reflecting on the different standards applied to men and women, she said, “It’s like you can see men with their shirt off constantly and they’re in a sauna or a cold plunge or whatever, and the minute a woman does it in a bikini, it somehow changes the perspective, which is totally fine. I get it.”

Julianne emphasized her confidence and self-acceptance, stating, “I’m a 35-year-old woman who is proud of my body, and I’m okay to post that.”

Julianne takes great care of her body, and it shows. Her toned physique is the result of years of professional dancing and her dedication to her fitness brand, KINRGY. Her healthy lifestyle includes maintaining a balanced diet and staying hydrated.

“I have this water bottle that goes everywhere with me,” she shared with Delish magazine. “Every night, before bed, I put ice in it and fill it to the top — it holds 40 ounces of water — and I drink it throughout the night. Not all of it, obviously, but I have to have cold water before I go to bed.”

In addition to hydration, Julianne swears by ice baths to maintain her health. “I’ve been doing ice baths since 2015 when I was touring the country on stage for 2.5 hrs almost every night,” she wrote in a June post accompanying a video of her in an ice bath.

Julianne revealed that she committed to ice baths after suffering a severe neck injury in 2014. “The amount of recovery I have spent on my body in my later years of life would’ve been much less if I had known about the benefits of contrast therapy earlier,” she added.

Despite the occasional negative feedback, Julianne remains focused on her well-being and continues to share her journey with her followers.
