Spotted at The Grove in Los Angeles in April 2014, Julianne Hough showed how much personality a casual outfit can gain from the right shoes.
Her relaxed mix of distressed boyfriend jeans, a cropped sweatshirt, and leopard-print flats balanced comfort with polish in a way that still feels wearable years later.

While many celebrity street-style looks from the era now feel overly styled, Julianne’s outfit remains surprisingly current because the focus stays grounded in practical pieces and statement footwear. The leopard-print Soludos flats added texture and energy without overpowering the laid-back silhouette.
