In the shade: Julianne Hough goes casual in a grey knit jumper and white skinny jeans as she cools down with a refreshing drink

She partied hard at her brother Derek's 31st birthday bash earlier this week with her hunky NHL player fiancé, Brooks Laich.

So it only seemed fitting that Julianne Hough recharged her batteries before catapulting herself in to her work commitments.

The 27-year-old former Dancing With The Stars pro, who has also become quite the triple threat with her acting and singing prowess, looked the epitome of casual cool as she headed out and about in Los Angeles on Thursday with a pal.

She wore a chic grey knit and a pair of white skinny jeans which were ripped at the knee.  

She opted for maximum comfort in a pair of cream plimsolls as she carried a matching slouchy handbag on her right shoulder.

Quenching her thirst in the sunny Californian rays, the Utah native sipped on a juice drink, while carrying her phone in her other perfectly manicured hand- which showed off her lavish engagement ring.

The beauty who dated television host Ryan Seacrest for three years beforehand, looked effortlessly chic as her shoulder-length blonde tresses fell in bed-head style waves.

A pair of circular black tinted sunnies shielded her eyes, while her rosy blush cheeks added a hearty glow.

The Footloose star was engrossed in her phone at one point and on another occasion was spotted sprucing up her hair, while her equally casual pal struck up a conversation.

Do it like Julianne in her Paige Denim jeans

Dancing with The Stars dancer Julianne Hough was keeping it cool in a pair of Paige denim "Verdugo" jeans while out grabbing a coffee in Los Angeles.

Recently engaged to a hunky NHL player, the star was all smiles as she enjoyed her coffee with a friend.

We love her grey jumper and taupe satchel that she styled with a pair of neutral slide on shoes.

Paige Denim is super popular with celebrities as we have spotted them on Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Olivia Palermo, Jessica Alba, and Heidi Klum to name a few. (so you'll be in good company!)

Shop Julianne's exact style she is wearing via Nordstrom for just $199.

We also have several similar purse-friendly picks in the edit below. We love the Simply Chic pair as they are such a bargain and the Hudson jeans are a must-have!

Pair yours with espadrilles and a blazer for the perfect Spring look.

She looked relatively calm compared to her usual perky displays which also saw her return to Dancing With The Stars as a choreographer and judge.   

Julianne, who started dating Brooks in 2014, announced her engagement on August 18, 2015.

While the couple are enjoying a long engagement, she previously revealed to Good Morning America that she would be the 'worst bride ever,'- although hasn't revealed any plans for the big day.

'I want to look like me! Julianne has spoken about her hair and make-up look during her yet to be confirmed wedding day

She has however spoken to People magazine about how she'd like to look for the union, stating- 'My main thing is that I want to look like me.'

She also mentioned: 'We're just kind of enjoying it right now. Once we kind of figure out when and where and all that, then I'll start diving deep with that.'

Julianne- who is also a country singer- recently garnered critical acclaim in the live TV spectacular of Grease Live! alongside Vanessa Hudgens and Aaron Tveit.
