Julianne Hough didn't mean to #FreeTheNipple.

As she was leaving the star-studded Dancing With the Stars Season 20 wrap party at Beso in Hollywood Tuesday, the braless judge's sheer harlequin-style dress shifted, which caused Hough to suffer a nip slip. Hough, who brought her boyfriend Brooks Laich, was apparently unaware of the wardrobe malfunction.

Hopefully Hough will be able to laugh at her style slip-up.

After all, in a recent blog post, the 26-year-old dancer asked readers to find a moment in their life that makes brings a smile to their faces. "It's incredible what lifting the corners of your mouth upward does to our brain," she said. "You can actually feel your smile releasing kind, happy vibes through your soul."

Speaking to Yahoo! Style about that particular post, the actress-blogger-dancer-singer says, "I know what it feels like to be sad or depressed. The only way to fix that is by being kind to others. And then that makes your day."

"I want girls to know they have the power within them to be happy and to feel great. That's what those challenges are. It's not to show how great you are; it's more to get that feeling of, 'Oh, this feels so good—to be happy!' I just want everybody to be happy," the Rock of Ages star says. "This sounds like rainbows and butterflies right now. But that's the gift I want to give with the gift I've been given."

That being said, Hough still has her insecurities.

"I still have not mastered feeling 100 percent confident in my body. I still have days where I look in the mirror and say, 'Thanks, Grandma, for giving me my thighs!' But at the same time, it's all in your head. If you love your body, then your body is going to love you back. When you see yourself, you can sit there and pick pictures apart all day long. My boyfriend tells me all the time, 'Why is that whenever you take a picture and look at you, you want to take another one? Can't you just be happy with the actual picture where we're together?' I've now had to coach myself to look at a picture and not say, 'Do I look good in it?' but 'That's a great picture, overall.'"
