It seems like Julianne Hough can do no wrong when it comes to red carpet styling. The 29-year-old dance and actress donned a dark and romantic Marchesa gown for her strut down the red carpet at the 69th annual Emmy Awards.

This Marchesa Spring 2018 dress featured an asymmetrical neckline, a cut-out bodice, a layered tulle skirt and a sweeping train. Delicate cherry blossom appliques also decorated this dramatic gown, which oozed feminine charm and sultry edge.

Julianne styled her hair in a side-swept ponytail adorned with a black ribbon, capping off her look with soft pink lips, a black clutch, Forevermark jewelry and black velvet Aldo shoes.

These Aldo “Kaelah” platform sandals feature an open-toe silhouette, a criss-cross front, buckled straps and towering block heels. This was definitely a surprising footwear choice for a prestigious red carpet event, but these affordable shoes perfectly complemented Julianne’s look.

This wasn’t the first time that Julianne opted to wear inexpensive shoes on the red carpet. In fact, she attended this year’s Creative Arts Emmy Awards in on-trend satin heels that are currently on sale for $40 at Aldo.

For that event, the two-time “Dancing with the Stars” champion wore an alluring blush satin Spring 2016 Couture gown from Rami Al Ali. She styled it with classic Hollywood side-swept waves, soft pink lips, Dvani ruby earrings and a dark pink clutch.

We couldn’t get a good look at her shoes due to the length of her dress, but Julianne wore the “Nessida” platform sandals. These satin shoes feature a matching light pink hue, an open-toe silhouette and high block heels.
