JoJo Siwa Ditches Her Signature Style for Rare Gown in Italy

by

JoJo Siwa’s fashion is dancing to a new tune.

Okay, so JoJo Siwa is *always* extra with the sparkles and bright colors, which I LIVE for, but she totally surprised everyone at Kalani Hilliker’s wedding! She traded in her usual look to fit in with the vibe, and Kendall Vertes was there too – it was such a sweet *Dance Moms* reunion, seeing them all together after everything with Abby Lee Miller! I was seriously obsessed with all the pictures.

In a TikTok video posted on September 17th, Kendall playfully announced JoJo’s entrance, saying, ‘Never seen her in a dress before!’ as JoJo appeared on screen. Kendall then exclaimed, ‘Wow, she looks amazing!’

The singer, known for her song “D.R.E.A.M.,” looked stunning in a long, lavender dress. She playfully spun around, her hair flowing freely like Rapunzel’s, and completed the look with nude wedge heels.

At the end of the clip, Kendall—who donned the exact same outfit—added, “Let’s get Kalani married.”

The bride announced on Instagram on September 18th that she had married Nathan Goldman the previous day, sharing that she wished she could experience their wedding day again and again.

Oh my gosh, JoJo looked absolutely stunning at the after-party! She changed outfits *again*, and this time it was this incredible gold sequined cocktail dress – seriously, it sparkled! And it had a cape! A CAPE! She totally showed it off on Instagram, and of course, she paired it with matching gold heels. I’m obsessed, she just keeps getting more glamorous!

The star of *Celebrity Big Brother UK*, who began dating fellow contestant Chris Hughes after they met on the show in April, also showed that she and her former *Dance Moms* co-stars haven’t forgotten their dance routines.

JoJo, Kendall, and Kalani recently shared a video on Instagram of a dance they performed to “We on Top” by Photronique and Shari Short. The dance was originally part of their routine during season six of the Lifetime series.

“Boss Ladies a decade later on the dance floor,” JoJo captioned the video, “at Kalani’s WEDDING!”

Since first gaining fame over a decade ago as the standout star of the Abby Lee Dance Company, the Pennsylvania native has successfully transitioned into other areas of entertainment. She went from appearing in singer Sia’s popular music videos to acting in films, including Sia’s directorial debut, *Music*, the 2021 remake of *West Side Story*, and the 2024 movie *My Old Ass*.

Maddie also wrote a bestselling memoir called *The Maddie Diaries* in 2017. She judged young dancers on *So You Think You Can Dance: The Next Generation* and co-hosted the *Take 20 With Maddie and Kenzie* podcast with her sister, Kenzie Ziegler. She told TopMob News that they wanted the podcast to feel relaxed and authentic, showcasing a more natural conversation without a lot of editing or production.

She’s planning her next big move: launching her own beauty brand. “It’s something I’ve always dreamed of,” she shared, “and I think it would be incredible to create my own line one day.”

Having moved past her acrobatic performance background, the singer recently released “Anatomy” in 2023, a deeply personal song about her complicated relationship with her father. She explained to *People* magazine that the song represents a new level of openness for her. “I’m really pushing myself to be honest and share my story in a way that goes beyond what I usually post online,” she said.

Despite having almost 15 million followers on Instagram from her time on Dance Moms, she explored more personal themes on her third album, biting my tongue, which was released in July 2024.

You know, I’ve been thinking a lot about opening up and sharing my personal journey, and it feels like now is the right time. It’s incredibly important to me to connect with people on a real level, and I truly hope that by sharing my experiences – the good, the bad, and everything in between – others will find something relatable or meaningful in it. Whether it brings a smile, a tear, or just a sense of understanding, that’s what I’m aiming for.

Almost ten years after leaving *Dance Moms*, the award-winning dancer was excited to return to performing and competing.

Chloe Lukasiak explained that after stepping away from dance, she was eager to reconnect with a passion she’d always loved. This led her to create the Elevé National Dance Competition with her mom, Christi Lukasiak, and the Pent family-Diane and Brittany. She wanted to build something different from her own past experiences-a positive and inspiring environment that would rekindle her love for dance.

Despite her competition ending after just one year, Pepperdine University graduate is continuing to pursue her goals. Now living in New York City, she’s mainly focused on creating content, but is also writing her first fantasy novel. She shared with TopMob News in 2023 that she’s also thinking about what comes next, and feels confident that things happen for a reason, stating, “Everything works out exactly as it’s supposed to.”

This original cast member, who’s known for her energetic performances, continues to excel in both music and acting. She released the single “Low Key Love” in 2020, and has starred in the web series *Sunnyside Up* as well as 59 episodes of *The Bold and the Beautiful*.

Balancing her studies at UCLA, where she earned a degree in American Literature and Culture in June 2024, she’s also building a music career. She recently released the single “IMMA CATCH” and was recognized as a rising star in Variety‘s 2023 Young Hollywood Impact Report.

As a lifestyle expert, I’m always thrilled to hear people prioritizing their passions! Recently, I shared with TopMob News in May 2024 that I’m really looking forward to dedicating myself to my career and honing my skills. It’s a fantastic feeling to be able to explore life, try new things, and really dive into all the creative outlets I love – directing, acting, singing, and performing in general. It’s all about embracing new experiences and seeing where they lead!

The original cast member who’s been on the show the longest organized a group trip to Costa Rica in 2023. They shared on Instagram in July that the week-long trip transformed the group from strangers into close friends, and they were all emotional saying goodbye at the airport.

Oh my gosh, you guys, she just told me about this incredible trip she took to Croatia! It was six days of pure magic, totally inspired by this backpacking adventure she did after college. Apparently, she just wandered around, soaking up all the beauty and different cultures, and she made friends she’ll have *forever*. She seriously said it was the trip of a lifetime, and honestly? I totally believe her. I’m already planning my own trip just thinking about it!

When she’s back home in Pittsburgh, she uses her marketing degree to build her online presence. She runs the Bite-Sized Foodie Instagram account and collaborates with her sister, Paige, on the Hyland Sisters brand. She got engaged to Brian Thalman in May 2024.

Recently, the veterinarian, who also works as a model and influencer, hasn’t been feeling down. After graduating from West Virginia University in May 2023 – a moment celebrated online by Christi Lukasiak – she’s been traveling extensively, with visits to places like the Hamptons, Colorado, and Wyoming.

Paige’s main travel companion (besides her sister, Brooke) is her boyfriend, Jayvon Thrift, a former college football player. She expressed her affection for the fitness model in a 2022 social media post, writing, “Adore you in every kind of way.”

In July 2024, the couple celebrated their five-year anniversary by leasing their first apartment together. Paige announced the news on Instagram, hinting at ‘a new adventure coming soon’.

Kendall Vertes, a recent graduate of James Madison University, was recently competing on the school’s championship dance team. She celebrated her accomplishments in a September 2023 Instagram post, saying her younger self would be thrilled. Her mother, Jill Vertes, enthusiastically agreed, expressing her own pride.

Besides acting in films like *Rapunzel: A Princess Frozen in Time* (2019) and a live-action *Anastasia*, and releasing music as Kendall K, this newcomer to the show has also landed several brand sponsorships, likely due to her large following of 11 million on Instagram.

Even though she was only on the original show for two seasons (after competing on *Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition*), JoJo Siwa quickly became a standout star. She built a huge following on YouTube, partnered with Nickelodeon for exclusive products, launched a successful line of merchandise, and was named one of *Time* magazine’s 100 most influential people in 2020.

She once told Kelly Ripa that one of the most important lessons she learned from *Dance Moms* was the need to adapt and persevere. It wasn’t about literal swimming, she clarified, but about having the drive to survive and succeed.

Recently, she’s been seen with celebrities like Miley Cyrus and Kim Kardashian, and is achieving much more than just maintaining the status quo. In 2021, she made history as part of the first same-sex couple to compete on the American version of *Dancing With the Stars*, partnering with Jenna Johnson.

The singer is setting her sights on the Super Bowl halftime show, telling Raven-Symoné and Miranda Pearman-Maday that performing there is her biggest dream. She even joked on the August 2023 episode of *The Best Podcast Ever* that she’d retire and start a family once she achieves that goal. She released her first EP, *Guilty Pleasure*, in July 2024.

Now based in Arizona, the dancer, actress, and businesswoman is focusing on health and wellness and recently launched her beauty brand, Kare, in 2023.

She told TopMob News that her own anxiety motivated her to start a brand focused on self-care. She wanted to create something welcoming for everyone, encouraging people to relax, prioritize themselves, and build routines to help them manage daily challenges.

The dancer, who first appeared on *Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition*, is back to dancing and teaching, and still performing flawlessly. She recently married Nathan Goldman in September 2025. She explained that her teaching style is much different-and kinder-than Abby’s, or most of her previous instructors’, but she still believes in pushing her students to reach their full potential.

Asia Monet Ray, originally from California, largely retired from television around her tenth birthday. After appearing in one season each of *Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition*, *Dance Moms*, and her own show, *Raising Asia*, she told TopMob News in 2021 that she had a positive experience, even if others didn’t. She stated she wouldn’t change anything about her time on those shows.

Graduating as valedictorian in June 2023, the model and artist shared on Instagram how proud she was to have reached a long-held goal and expressed her excitement for the future.

With lots of sponsorships, invitations to all the popular events, and her new upbeat single “Oh Boys” and album of the same name, she’s poised for a successful future.

She shared with TopMob that she looks back fondly on her time as a reality TV star. Despite how intense it seemed, she believes the experience helped shape her life and is something she’s grateful for.

Since joining the team in season seven, the dancer from St. Louis has been performing on significantly bigger stages.

She had an incredible early 2023, performing alongside music icons like Kendrick Lamar, Usher (both in Las Vegas and at the Super Bowl halftime show), and Missy Elliott at the Grammys. She described the experience as “Beyond blessed!!!”

After performing in the 30th anniversary celebration of *The Lion King* at the Hollywood Bowl and alongside Chloe Bailey at the BET Awards, she’s determined to continue building her career. In a December 2022 Instagram post marking the end of her 76-show run with Lamar, she shared, “I know this is only the beginning.”

After leaving the show after three seasons-where she stepped into Maddie’s role as a dancer-the Arizona native wanted to return to a typical teenage life and spend time with her friends, she shared in a 2023 YouTube video with her close friend Kelsey Millar. While she admitted high school wasn’t always easy, she’s happy she had the experience. Having lived both a life in the spotlight and a more normal life, she now knows what she wants and believes it’s possible to find a balance between the two.

Since graduating in 2021, she’s started the Out of Line podcast with Millar and has been sharing her experiences at festivals like Coachella and Stagecoach with her 3 million Instagram followers. She also frequently meets fans while traveling with her dance students to competitions.

You know, it’s just the sweetest thing when kids recognize me! I’m still really close with Kenzie, and recently she told me about an adorable interaction she had. Apparently, some little ones saw me and were so excited, asking, ‘Miss Brynn, are you famous?’ It just melts my heart!
