A 2026 Golden Globes red carpet moment is going viral after an A-list star couldn’t hide their admiration for “Dancing With the Stars” favorite siblings Derek Hough and Julianne Hough. In a short video making the rounds on social media, the celebrity heaps praise on the sibling duo, turning a quick exchange into a standout awards-season highlight fans are loving.
Robin Wright Loves the Houghs
In an adorable exchange on the red carpet, Derek was working for Extra TV when Robin Wright stepped to his spot on the red carpet. Before getting to praise her for her work, Wright jumped in and talked about her admiration for the dancing siblings.
Wright joked, “When I first saw her dance, I was like, they’re married.” Hough laughed, “Oh, yeah, yeah. I got that sometimes.”
Wright continued, “No, no, they’re brother and sister,” which Derek echoed.
The A-list star then praised the duo, saying, “You guys are amazing together. I follow you guys on Instagram and watch you guys move.”
Wright’s 2026 Nomination
Wright was at the Golden Globes 2026 after being nominated for Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Limited Series, Anthology Series, or a Motion Picture Made for Television. She was nominated for her role in “The Girlfriend.”
She was happy to be back, as she told Derek, “You’re just honored to be recognized for all the hard work.”
Wright didn’t take home the Golden Globe, though. Instead, it was Michelle Williams winning for her role in “Dying for Sex.”
Derek Remains a Fan Favorite on ‘Dancing With the Stars’
Hough’s popularity on “DWTS” didn’t happen overnight, and it’s a big reason moments like his Golden Globes shoutout by Wright resonate so strongly with fans.
Over the years, he has built a reputation as one of the most decorated pros in the show’s history. He has earned multiple Mirrorball Trophies, became known for his choreography, and even stepped away from the dance floor to sit behind the judges’ table.
With this new seat on the show, viewers have continued to connect with Hough because of the balance he brings to that judges’ table. He blends technical expertise with encouragement, offering constructive critiques while still celebrating contestants’ progress. This approach has helped keep longtime fans of the show engaged. It also allows him to welcome new viewers who may be discovering who he is for the first time.
Hough has also made quite a career beyond his time on “Dancing With the Stars.” He has expanded his career into acting, live tours, and hosting major entertainment events, like the Golden Globes. Now his red carpet moment shows that he’s becoming a recognizable figure across Hollywood.
