Footloose Fashions
During a recent trip across the country, Julianne Hough and Kenny Wormald dropped by the Mall of America. The stars of the "Footloose" remake (opening Friday) gave us a glimpse of their off-screen style, which doesn't include Hough's character's iconic red cowboy boots. Still, she looked plenty fierce in a Helmut Lang jacket and Jimmy Choo heels. Wormald wore a shirt by Vince and Converse shoes.
