As someone who basically lives on the dance floor, Dancing With the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba consistently deserves a 10 for all the fabulous fashion choices she makes on air. It seems like she brings her love of style behind the scenes as well, since she just changed her look and fans are loving it.

Over the weekend, the former The Talk cohost took to Instagram to debut her latest red carpet hairstyle. Donning a purple sparkly blazer, Carrie Ann paired her jacket with a shorter haircut and lighter locks. She beamed as she headed to present an award with fellow Dancing With the Stars judge Derek Hough at the 2022 Critics Choice Real TV Awards. Dancing With the Stars was nominated for both the Best Competition: Talent/Variety and Best Ensemble Cast in an Unscripted Series categories.

"Summer chop! πŸ’‡πŸ»β€β™€οΈ Thanks to @glennnutley πŸ₯°
@ccrealtv look thanks to @marylinmakeup @julie_kozak @glennnutley," she captioned the pic. "Heading to the Critics Choice Real Tv Awards where I’m presenting with @derekhough! It’s such an honor that #DWTS is nominated for two awards! πŸ™ŒπŸ™Œβœ¨βœ¨βœ¨ Thank you to the Critics for the nomination. πŸ₯‚πŸ₯‚πŸ₯‚πŸ˜˜πŸ˜˜πŸ˜˜"

She looks amazing, if we say so ourselves! But weren't the only ones who saw the photo and fell in love with her new look. Followers quickly flooded her Instagram comments shortly after she posted the photo.

"Gorgeous sis πŸ’•," DWTS pro Cheryl Burke commented on her friend's post. "You look good enough to host! Go and steal the show!πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘," another responded to Carrie Ann's picture. "Just stunning as usual!!! You're so gorgeous @carrieanninaba πŸ˜Šβ€οΈβ˜€οΈπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦," one more wrote.

And if you were wondering whether the competition series won any awards that night? Sadly, DWTS didn't win either of the two awards they were nominated for. But let's hope Carrie Ann continues slaying the fashion game and brings this look to Dancing With the Stars next season.
