“Dancing with the Stars” is back for its 33rd season and host Julianne Hough stole the show in a beautiful little black skirt with a very unusual detail.

Looking fresh and flirty, 36-year-old Julianne rocked a sheer black bodysuit with a high neckline and short sleeves before accessorising with an oversized feathered Alaia balloon skirt. She paired the look with black stilettos and sported a new short blonde bob in a sleek style.

She took the stage with co-host Alfonso Ribeiro and the pair introduced their 12 celebrity contestants, including Olympian Ilona Moher and actress Tori Spelling.

For the opening number, the professional dancers performed an incredibly fast-paced number to a dance remix of Céline Dion’s “I’m Alive”.

The first artist of the night was Joey Grazedei from “The Bachelor,” and the contestants were asked to choose a song that they felt was their “personal anthem” for their first dance of the night.

Joey’s professional partner Jenna Jameson chose a cha-cha to Tyler Hubbard’s “Dancing in the Country.”

The new season of Dancing with the stars will be “spicy and spirited,” juror Bruno Tonioli told HELLO! before the season premiere.

“The cast is very, very good – very lively, very spirited. But I always feel like this is the first time we’ve done the show – you can never go into it with what’s happened before because everyone is so different,” he said. Alfonso Ribiero

“It’s so exciting and I can’t wait… I’m completely open and ready to be dazzled.”

Bruno judged Joey and teased the reality star, calling him a “cha-cha charmer” and saying he needs to work on his hip movement.
