If there's a new film adaptation of Chicago in the future, call on Julianne Hough and Ariana DeBos. Julian unleashes his inner Roxy Hart for his incredible performance of "All That Jazz" from Chicago in his Step Into...Movies special, complete with amazing vocals, costumes, and dancing. She was joined by the West Side Story star, who also sang along to her vocals.
Julianne, Ariana and their dances take themselves back to the jazz era for spectacular and very sexy performances. They paid tribute to the 2002 adaptation of the hit musical, starring Renée Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Julianne and Ariana made a perfect Roxy and Velma!
For the performance, Julianne wore a plunging top with long fringe detailing. He also had high-waist bottoms and black boots. Her hair was pinned with several bobby pins, reminiscent of the 1920s.
Julianne and her brother, Derek Hough, reunite for this ABC special that honors the most iconic dances from your favorite movies. HollywoodLife exclusively spoke to Derek about putting this special together with his sister in just 10 days!
Derek explained, "With these films, they had months to prepare and work with the orchestra and scenes, and we were given this 10-day challenge." "We didn't want to recreate them completely. We wanted to re-imagine them a little bit, so we're not recreating them verbatim. It's just a nod to them. It was a lot of fun and the great people on board Come on. We worked together and it was great."
During the special, Julian also paid tribute to Beauty and the Beast by dancing to Ariana Grande and John Legend's version of the title track with Harry Sham Jr. Julian, Derek and Charli D'Amelio concluded the special by honoring Dirty Dancing. Derek and Charlie even recreated Johnny and Baby's iconic lift!
