Julianne Hough slips over in the rain while posing in a skimpy grey bikini as she wishes fans a happy New Year

Julianne Hough slipped over in the rain while posing up a storm in a skimpy grey bikini on Instagram on Monday. 

The actress, 37, shared a comical video with her followers as she wished them a happy New Year. 

Showcasing her toned physique in the stylish two-piece, which consisted of a scoop neck bikini top and thong bottoms, Julianne could be seen running in the rain before taking a tumble on the grass. 

Elsewhere in the clip, she enjoyed a relaxing sauna break, giggling away with her pals, before diving into a large outdoor pool. 

During the relaxing spa day, the star was accompanied by her beloved dog, Sunny. 

She captioned the post: 'New chapters are sexy. Gravity is real. Growth is learning how to catch yourself… and rise again. Happy New Year ✨' 

The New Year post comes after Julianne sent a sweet message to her brother Derek Hough and his wife Hayley Erbert after they announced the birth of their first child together.

The Dancing With the Stars co-host celebrated the birth of her niece, Everly Capri Hough, after Derek, 40,  and Hayley, 31, shared the happy news via Instagram on Monday.

'Welcome to the world sweet angel Everley,' she commented on the post, which featured a sweet black-and-white photo of the newborn's feet along with details behind Everly's birth.

She also re-posted the announcement photo to her Instagram Stories along with the message, 'Baby girl has arrived.'

The announcement read: 'December 29, 2025. Everley Capri Hough (white heart emoji). Every step of our lives has led us to you. Our hearts have been cracked wide open and our world is forever changed.'

It comes after Julianne traded cosy knits for a revealing look as she danced around her Christmas tree at home last month.

She shared a series of festive snaps, including an envy-inducing one of her striking a pose in front of her beautifully decorated tree while wearing a black bralette and a tiny thong. 

As she showed off her incredibly toned figure, the performer arched her back and tilted her head behind her as she rested one hand on her hip. 

Another cheeky photo showed the dancer, who opened up about freezing her eggs earlier this year, sitting inside an oversized black Khaite shopping bag.

She peeked over the edge with a soft smile before fully committing to the bit in a second shot, tucking herself inside the bag and extending her perfectly pointed feet.

'Christmas at home,' Julianne captioned the post, prompting an outpouring of praise from celebrity friends and fans alike, many of whom flooded the comments to compliment her toned physique and carefree holiday spirit.

While the photos may have felt effortless, Julianne has long been candid about the hard work behind her figure. 

Her fitness routine blends dance, strength training, yoga and cardio, with a focus on low-impact, full-body movement to keep things engaging. 

She frequently mixes classes like Body by Simone and CorePower Yoga with the occasional spin session, while also prioritising consistency over extremes.

'Monday through Friday, I really try to start my day off right,' she previously revealed. 'If you dedicate two hours to yourself in the beginning of the day, you're gonna be so much happier.'
