Julianne Hough wears Antonio Grimaldi Spring 2026 in black, contrasting a sharply plunging sleeveless bodice with an oversized feathered tier and long column skirt.
Julianne Hough wears Antonio Grimaldi Spring 2026 at the 78th Emmy Awards at Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on September 14, 2026. The sleeveless black gown has a very deep V-neckline crossed by one narrow horizontal strap, followed by a straight torso that ends above an oversized textured tier. Julianne Hough in the black Antonio Grimaldi gown is built around the abrupt shift from a spare upper section to substantial volume below.
The feathered tier expands dramatically around the hips and upper skirt, forming a dense rounded mass before the gown returns to a long black column at the floor. That three-part progression is unusually clear: deep open neckline, broad textural volume, then a narrow lower section. The surface treatment does most of its work in the middle of the silhouette rather than across the entire dress.
At the 78th Emmy Awards red carpet, the gown has enough scale to register immediately against the blue-and-gold backdrop. Hough wears her hair in a sleek center-parted bob curved toward the jaw, which leaves the plunging neckline and shoulder line fully exposed.
The look is strongest because the drama is concentrated rather than distributed evenly. The upper half is severe and graphic; the feathered section is expansive and tactile; the lower column restores a cleaner line before the hem. I’d rate it 9.2/10: the shift from minimal bodice to oversized textured volume is exceptionally distinctive, and the long column below prevents the silhouette from becoming visually overloaded.
