Serving as a pro for seasons 3-9, Karina took her first mini-break from the ballroom in its 10th season. She then competed in nine consecutive seasons before her next brief hiatus in season 20. At the time, she explained, “I’ve decided to focus my energies on some other exciting endeavors including adding author to my resume.”

She ended up returning for two more outings, but Karina officially left DWTS after season 22.

Since hanging up her dancing shoes, Smirnoff appeared on E!’s Famously Single and returned to professional dancing. In 2017, she opened up about her decision to leave the ABC series, admitting she does “miss the show” and wouldn’t rule out a return.

“I love dancing with celebrities on the show, but it’s a different type of experience. You’re not just their dance partner. You’re their coach, their shrink, their cheerleader,” she told Fox. “But when you perform with your professional partner, they’re as strong as you and it becomes a different type of performance. And I missed that when I wasn’t doing it while I was on the show.”

Teyana Taylor to Host the 2025 CFDA Awards with Amber Valletta, Julianne Moore, Addison Rae, and More Presenting

The 2025 CFDA Fashion Awards are scheduled for November 3 at the American Museum of Natural History, where they will be hosted by American triple-threat Teyana Taylor, who can be seen in Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another and, of course, on the runway at Vogue World: Hollywood. The actor, choreographer, and singer joins a list of past hosts that includes Anne Hathaway and Cynthia Erivo.

In addition to honoring American fashion and cementing its future, one of the ceremony’s most endearing traditions is that, in addition to famous presenters, who are more often than not actors, supermodels, and singers—it invites American designers to do the honors. This year, the lineup portends a fabulous night filled with both up-and-comers and stalwarts.

Joseph Altuzarra will present the American Womenswear Designer of the Year award alongside actor Leslie Bibb, who most recently appeared in the third season of The White Lotus. Resident funny guy Benito Skinner of Overcompensating fame will join Jennifer Fisher to introduce the American Accessory Designer of the Year Award. Addison Rae and Christopher John Rogers—both Libras hailing from Louisiana!—will introduce the Google Shopping American Emerging Designer of the Year category, and CFDA chairman Thom Browne will present Ralph Rucci with the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award.

The Founder’s Award in honor of Eleanor Lambert will be given to Cynthia Rowley by Julianne Moore, and Jerry Lorenzo of Fear of God will receive the Innovation Award Presented by Amazon Fashion from Ava DuVernay. Ariana DeBose and Amber Valletta will give the Positive Change Award to Donatella Versace, who is being recognized for her advocacy for the LGBTQ+ community, and her support of young talents, and Vogue’s Nicole Phelps will present the Isabel Toledo Board of Directors’ Tribute to her fellow New Yorker Andre Walker. Pieter Mulier will receive the International Designer of the Year Award from Naomi Campbell.

Nominees and honorees were announced early in September as New York Fashion Week got going, and the Council of Fashion Designers of America has shared that the recipient for the Fashion Icon recognition will be none other than Vogue’s May 2025 cover star A$AP Rocky.

The rapper, who is known as a menswear oracle of sorts and acted as co-chair at the 2025 Met Gala, has a label of his own as part of his creative agency AWGE. Rocky is also the creative director of Puma and Ray-Ban and has fronted campaigns for labels including Bottega Veneta and Calvin Klein, in addition to designing a capsule for Moncler. “A$AP Rocky is a fashion icon in the purest form,” CFDA chairman Thom Browne said. “He is one of a kind. His truly original approach to fashion inspires me, and so many, to think differently.”

Julianne Moore’s Brown Braided Bag is the Must-Have Tote for Fall-Winter 2025

Julianne Moore is carrying Madrid’s “must-have” bag of the moment.

There are trends that emerge on the runways, others on social media, and then there are those that simply become objects of desire through aesthetic repetition. The dark-toned braided bag is one of them. This luxuriously textured, handcrafted accessory has been gaining more and more followers, eventually finding its way into the wardrobes of almost every fashionista in Madrid, per Vogue Spain. No matter which neighborhood in the center of Spain’s capital you walk through, you’ll see it everywhere, and Julianne Moore also approves of this trend.

The braided bag began to gain traction a few seasons ago thanks to Bottega Veneta, but we know that trends follow a course from the moment they are worn on runways and celebrities until they truly emerge on the street. Now, we can say that this design has endured with the approval of celebs like Moore and the general public.

While the most stylish women will be styling their braided bags with jeans, blazers, and loafers, Julianne Moore adds her own take on the look with a style that screams confidence. A black knit sweater, wide-legged dark brown faux-leather pants, and gathered shoes come together in this outfit, spiced up by her braided shopper bag, aviator sunglasses, earcuffs, and a delicate necklace.

‘Dancing With the Stars’ Siblings Derek and Julianne Hough on Growing Up Together on the Hit Series (Exclusive)

by jummy84
written by jummy84

With hundreds of episodes of Dancing With the Stars between them, siblings Derek and Julianne Hough quick-stepped their way into America’s hearts. We caught up with the Emmy-winning choreographers — Derek is now a judge and Julianne a cohost on the show — to chat about their favorite memories and what keeps them coming back to the ballroom.

What does 20 years of Dancing With the Stars mean to you?

Julianne Hough: I don’t know where to begin. The show has been in the homes of families year after year. There’s something so beautiful about the fact that people come on [the dance floor] being vulnerable and grow right in front of our eyes. We see it through rhinestones and fringe, but it’s really this transformational journey.

Derek Hough : It’s incredible to be a part of something that has had this excitement around it for 20 years. Every single thing I’ve experienced on this show has been life-changing. I’ve learned so many different lessons. I’ve grown up on this show.

Yeah, you definitely have!

Derek: I have facial hair now! When I started it [in 2007], I didn’t. I’m a full little man now, kind of. [Laughs]

Who’s gone through that growth process with you on the show that really stands out in your memory?

Julianne: [Olympic speed skater] Apolo Ohno, my first partner, had these big trunk legs, and to watch him figure out how to move his body in a new way and the dedication that he put into it…he transformed in front of our eyes. [Para-snowboarder] Amy Purdy [in Season 18] found this feminine side to her that she said she hadn’t felt since she lost her legs.

Derek: Amy was extraordinary. Dancing with [conservationist] Bindi Irwin [on Season 21] was really special.

Now Bindi’s younger brother Robert is coming on the show for Season 34.

Derek: I’m going to be so hard on Robert! I’m just kidding. [Laughs] It is really amazing to see the full-circle moment — dancing with Bindi 10 years ago, and here Robert is.

Did you two ever think you’d be working together like this?

Derek: No. Our parents actually said, “Hey, you should dance with your sister.” And I’m like, “No, no, you’re defeating the whole purpose of why I started to dance!” I wanted to dance with girls.

Julianne: I am a girl.

Derek: Well, you know what I’m saying. But it’s actually amazing to see our careers have run on these beautiful parallel lines.

Julianne: That pathway of being a dancer and then a judge — it’s kind of crazy.

Derek: Let’s be honest, Julianne was first on Dancing With the Stars.

Julianne: Did you just give me credit?

Derek: I did! [Aside] But she only won twice.

Is there a childhood dynamic that still kicks in when you’re together?

Julianne: Clearly, there’s sibling rivalry. We’re just really playful with each other.

Derek: We’re just goofs.

Julianne: What I love is that every week we’re in different areas on set, but we get our little moments where we get to hang out in the commercial breaks. It’s cool.

Do you have a dream celebrity cast member?

Julianne: Keke Palmer would be so fun to have on, because her personality is so big and she’s so authentic. Kelly Ripa would be amazing. Chris Hemsworth should come back since he did the Australian version and placed sixth. But there’s nothing like the American version.

Derek, you’ve won the Mirrorball trophy six times! How did you celebrate?

Derek: The initial moment was just unbelievable. Weirdly enough, [as a pro] the celebration was short-lived. The next day is like, “All right, got to think about the next season.” But now, I get to look back at those moments with Bindi or Nicole Scherzinger or Jennifer Grey and celebrate.

What’s your favorite role on the show — dancer, judge, or host?

Julianne: They all come with something different. As a dancer, you’re competing, and as a judge, you want to give your expertise to help [the contestants] grow. As a host, my job is to [make sure] everyone else feels like they have the space to shine and connect with the audience.

Derek: The hardest part about being a judge is that you’ve got 15 seconds to say something, whereas as a dancer, you have several hours to work and nitpick at things. But I love being in that room. When you walk into the ballroom, it is really sacred ground. The stories that have unfolded, the triumphs, the failures, the heartbreaks. There’s so much that has happened in that room, and every time I walk in there, every season, it’s a brand-new feeling.
