Before she became a red-carpet regular, Jenna Dewan was best known for her dancer-off-duty style. But at the World of Dance celebration at Delilah in West Hollywood, the Step Up star reminded us she can shine just as brightly in full-glam mode.
Trading in sneakers and sweats for a dazzling Azzaro dress and crystal-studded Giuseppe Zanotti sandals, Jenna delivered a head-to-toe sparkle moment worth revisiting.

Jenna Dewan Stuns in Crystal-Embellished Azzaro Fall 2017 Mini Dress
One of Jenna Dewan’s strengths has always been her ability to keep her red-carpet style fresh and unpredictable. From ethereal all-white gowns to laid-back bohemian looks, she has consistently proven she can master dramatically different aesthetics with ease.
For this occasion, she leaned into a moodier, more glamorous side of her style. Her Azzaro Fall 2017 dress embodied dark sophistication, adorned with full crystal embellishment.

Rectangular studs traced the neckline and sleeves, catching the light at every angle and giving the piece a bold, jewel-like armor effect — a striking contrast to her softer past looks.

As a professional dancer, Jenna’s enthusiasm for World of Dance was clear. She teased that season two would be “bigger and better,” promising longer hours, faster routines, and even more talent on stage.
When asked about a potential dance-off with co-judge Jennifer Lopez, Jenna didn’t hesitate: “I don’t think anyone could beat J.Lo at anything,” she laughed.
Offstage, she added that she and then-husband Channing Tatum often turned their living room into a dance floor with their daughter, Everly.
From red-carpet sparkle to her signature love of statement heels, Jenna Dewan continues to prove she can reinvent her style with ease. For more of her standout shoe and fashion moments, explore the highlights below.
