Julianne Hough Sports Bald Cap on DWTS After Brother Derek Wins Sexiest 40-Year-Old Poll

Julianne Hough humorously honored a bet made by her brother Derek Hough during the October 28 Halloween episode of Dancing with the Stars by appearing with a bald look, fulfilling his promise to shave his head if he won People magazine's Sexiest 40-Year-Old in the 2025 Sexiest Man Alive Reader’s Choice Poll. Derek, who actually won the title, joked about shaving his head but ultimately decided against it, instead polling his fans on Instagram for their opinions. Julianne’s bald appearance, which was likely a realistic cap rather than an actual shave, was met with amusement and praise for her commitment to the playful sibling rivalry. Derek admitted on Instagram Stories that he had never shaved his head before and shared a lighthearted conversation with his wife, who tried to convince him by showing photos of celebrities with buzzcuts like David Beckham. The Halloween episode featured this comedic moment alongside other festivities, with co-host Alfonso Ribeiro announcing Derek's win and teasing the potential haircut moment on air. Their interaction showcased the fun dynamic between the siblings, blending humor with fan engagement during the popular dance competition.
