Julianne Hough Dances in Sharp Heels With John Stamos as Elvis in ‘Viva Las Vegas’ Tribute for ‘Step Into the Movies’

Julianne Hough brought her dance skills to the small screen with John Stamos for her upcoming ABC special “Step Into…The Movies with Derek and Julianne Hough.”

During the dance special, the “Footloose” star partnered with Stamos to re-create a dance scene from 1964’s “Viva Las Vegas,” with Hough channeling Ann-Margret’s role and Stamos as Elvis Presley. The star wore a classic black leotard over sheer black leggings for the occasion, creating a streamlined silhouette. Giving her look a hint of ’60s groove was a bold red sweater. Stamos also dressed the part, wearing a full black leather outfit.

For footwear, Hough opted for a pair of pointed-toe pumps. The style featured triangular toes, as well as black leather uppers. Hough’s footwear was complete with thick heels that totaled 2-3 inches in height, ideal for dancing while remaining balanced.
