The Moment: Julianne Hough at NYFW Fall 2026
All-white, all the way — at Surrogate's Court with ALICE + OLIVIA
On Valentine's Day 2026, Julianne Hough stepped out of a sleek New York City car and directly into the fashion conversation. The setting was Surrogate's Court — one of Manhattan's most grand and storied venues — transformed for the ALICE + OLIVIA by Stacey Bendet Fall 2026 Presentation, and Hough arrived looking every bit like she belonged on the runway itself.
Dressed in a seamless all-white look from head to toe, Hough turned sidewalks into a catwalk. Fellow A-lister Nicole Scherzinger was also confirmed in attendance, raising the star wattage of an already high-voltage evening. Media and street-style photographers descended on the venue entrance, with Hough's arrival quickly circulating across fashion and entertainment outlets.
For a woman who has made bold moves at the Oscars — from Alexandre Vauthier couture to Christian Dior — choosing a refined, tonal ALICE + OLIVIA moment at NYFW felt intentional and powerful. Understated luxury, elevated minimalism, and pure confidence: that's the Julianne Hough effect.
The ROBERTA RIBBED TURTLENECK — The Foundation
Every great outfit starts with the right base, and Julianne's winter-white look was anchored by the ROBERTA RIBBED TURTLENECK — ALICE + OLIVIA's sleekest layering piece. Crafted from 100% ultra-soft rayon, its fitted silhouette hugs the body with precision, while the ribbed texture and full turtleneck neckline add visual interest without noise.
On Hough, the Roberta did exactly what a great base layer should: it defined the line of her figure, created a clean foundation for the pieces layered above and below, and kept the overall palette locked in pristine white. With long sleeves and a full-length hem, it tucks effortlessly into the high-waist of the Simon trouser, ensuring that every element of the outfit reads as a single, considered thought rather than separate pieces.
The SIMON PLEATED TROUSER — The Statement
If the Roberta set the foundation, the SIMON PLEATED TROUSER made the statement. Wide-leg, low-rise, and impeccably pleated, the Simon is menswear tailoring reimagined with pure feminine energy. The herringbone weave catches the light with a subtle texture that keeps an all-white palette dynamic and dimensional rather than flat.
The magic of proportion is everything here: the fitted ribbing of the Roberta turtleneck defines the upper body, which gives the wide-leg volume of the Simon room to breathe and sweep. The result is a silhouette that is simultaneously strong and fluid — elongating Hough's dancer's frame in the most natural way possible. Constructed from a blend of 64% recycled polyester, 34% viscose, and 2% elastane, the trouser moves beautifully while maintaining its crisp, structured shape through an entire evening of Fashion Week events.
The WAVERLY COCOON COAT — The Finishing Touch
A February evening in New York City demands outerwear, and Julianne Hough's choice was nothing short of perfect. The WAVERLY COCOON COAT wrapped the entire look in sculptural, cloud-like volume — its 100% merino wool construction warm without ever feeling heavy, its cocoon silhouette and signature balloon sleeves making an unmistakable entrance.
What makes the Waverly extraordinary in the context of this outfit is how it honors and amplifies the look beneath it. The mid-length hem allows the Simon trouser's wide leg to remain fully visible, letting those beautiful pleats and that sweeping silhouette do their work. Draped over the slim ribbed Roberta below, the Waverly's relaxed, billowing shape creates a masterclass in proportion play — volume over structure, softness over tailoring — and the all-white palette ties every layer together in seamless, effortless harmony.
Why Julianne Hough and ALICE + OLIVIA Just Work
A meeting of boldness, self-expression, and Stacey Bendet's vision
ALICE + OLIVIA has always dressed women who dress for themselves — women who choose clothes as a form of self-expression rather than obligation. Julianne Hough is exactly that woman. From her record-setting victories on Dancing with the Stars to her unflinching red-carpet risks at the Oscars, Hough has spent two decades making choices that reflect who she is, not who the room expects her to be. That authenticity — that electric, unapologetic energy — aligns perfectly with Stacey Bendet's design philosophy: fashion as joy, fashion as confidence, fashion as art you can wear.
At NYFW Fall 2026, Hough's all-white ALICE + OLIVIA look wasn't just a style moment — it was a statement of values. The same spirit of bold self-reinvention and polished ease that defines the Fall 2026 collection pulses through every piece she wore, and through Julianne herself.
How to Style It: Four Ways to Wear the Look
The Julianne Hough
Wear all three pieces together in head-to-toe white: the Roberta Ribbed Turtleneck tucked into the Simon Pleated Trouser, finished with the Waverly Cocoon Coat draped over the shoulders. This is the full NYFW moment — sculptural, confident, and completely unforgettable.
Elevated Everyday
Pair the Roberta Ribbed Turtleneck with the Simon Pleated Trouser and swap the cocoon coat for a tailored blazer. It reads polished enough for the office and cool enough for dinner — an effortless transition look that works five days a week.
Weekend Luxe
Style the Waverly Cocoon Coat over a simple slip dress or slim-fit denim for a luxurious off-duty look. The coat's merino wool and balloon sleeves do all the heavy lifting, so everything underneath can stay simple and relaxed.
Tonal Mix
Break the monochrome by introducing a single accent — ivory, camel, or champagne — through accessories like a structured bag or pointed-toe mule. The Roberta and Simon stay white; the coat becomes the canvas for a soft color story.
