Girl time! Julianne Hough keeps it casual in denim jumpsuit for lunch date with her mother Mari Anne

She's been hard at work as a judge on the new season of Dancing With The Stars.

So Julianne Hough took some time off to relax with her mother Mari Anne on Sunday, strolling through The Grove in Los Angeles after a spot of lunch.

The 28-year-old dancer was all smiles as she chatted away while clutching some take-out pizza.

The DWTS judge looked naturally gorgeous in a denim jumpsuit and flat sandals.

He blonde locks were pulled up into a ponytail and she shaded her eyes with some trendy sunglasses.

Jump to it in a denim boiler suit like Julianne

As far as wardrobe staples go, a denim jumpsuit is up there with the best of them.

Whether you're wearing it during the day with some sandals and sunnies like Julianne Hough, or you're dressing it up on a night out with strappy heels and a biker jacket, you'll find it's one of the most versatile pieces in your wardrobe.

When we first spotted Julianne's stylish cropped style, we mentally prepared ourselves to discover its whopping designer price-tag. So you can imagine our delight when we realized it cost just $37.90 from Forever 21 - what a bargain!

This piece was so popular that now it's sold out. But don't get too sad because we've got a bevy of alternative boiler beauties below from denim experts M.i.h Jeans, plus some fab picks from ASOS , Paul & Joe and Mother.

Meanwhile Julianne found herself in a tough spot, almost as soon as DWTS season 23 kicked off, when a comment she made about Amber Rose's performance was misconstrued.

The 32-year-old star said she felt body-shamed by Julianne after she danced the salsa with Maksim Chmerkovskiy.

Julianne said she felt 'uncomfortable' watching Amber's salsa on Dancing with the Stars - but later clarified that it had nothing to do with Amber's curvaceous figure.

Julianne said: 'To be clear, that was a produced package, not live coverage and they can put those sound bites anywhere. 

'My "uncomfortable" comment was about the fact that I felt like I wanted more out of the performance.

'When someone is doing a hot, sexy dance like that without the right amount of energy that is required, it can be uncomfortable to watch.

'Trust me I'm ALL for a sexy booty dance!! We all know that!!' she added. 'And any kind of body shaming goes against everything I believe in.'
