Nina Johnson Chmerkovskiy turned a typical morning after scenario into an absolute style moment. The actress of ‘Dancing With The Stars’ uploaded a video in which she revealed to the world her ‘most notorious walk of shame’ while coming home in her evening heels and gym socks. Accompanied by a voice-over announcing her as ‘an icon’ and ‘the moment,’ this video went viral, highlighting her toned legs and a designer shopping bag that marked the beginning of the cycle of laughter and compliments for her.

Nina Johnson Chmerkovskiy was the real master at exit and entry. The famous dancer, by the way, now showed us a quick snapshot of her princess life through a lovely—totally relatable yet exaggeratedly glamorous—video. And after the long night of partying, Jenna was still home wearing her lovely black pumps. But she combined those posh heels with only the softest, brightest gray athletic socks! Most people would find that pairing quite confusing, but for Jenna, it was just kind of ideal.
She is so immersed in the show that during the video, no one can take her eyes off her as she struts down the street in daylight, and boasts a fancy black bag from world-renowned jeweler Harry Winston dangling from her arm. The audio that comes along with it is from a popular social media sound that says, ‘She’s got a point. She’s an icon. She’s a legend. And she is the moment.’ This could not have been a more fitting caption for the post, which, besides, was so alive with the very essence of Jenna herself that she described as ‘The most iconic walk of shame I’ve ever done.’
The public reaction was quick and almost entirely favorable. A fair number of people were eager to compliment both her style and courage. Someone said in a very straightforward manner, ‘With those legs, NO ONE IS LOOKIN AT YOUR SHOES!’ Another one went further and completely changed the perception, stating, ‘That’s not a walk of shame; that’s a strut of pride.’ A third one talking about it in a similar manner even called it ‘A walk of honor if you will.’
The new footwear combination also shaped the discussion. One person made a joke about the “practical” side of it saying, ‘The alo socks and heels are giving I’m at dance practice practicing in my new heels for the upcoming performance.’ Others were simply finding the socks-and-sandals pairing quite cute; one asked, ‘Is it only me or are those socks just freaking adorable?!’
For sure, the presence of the Harry Winston bag played an important role in the overall luxury atmosphere and people’s curiosity about her night out. One follower had a question, ‘ohhh what did u get from harry winston?’ An even more thrilled Instagram user said, ‘PEEP THEE @harrywinston BAAAAG GIRL.’ Besides, the post led one user, who commented, ‘also please more date night content val’s tiktok was the cutest!!’, to ask for more personal content. This turned into a small back-and-forth where another user objected, ‘yall want them to post their whole lives???? they are real people, not content machines.’
The feedback from most people was quite humorous except for one comment post that presented a contrasting, notebook-tone question, ‘After all the time spent doing the show, wouldn’t you just want to stay home and hang out with your son! I guess not…’ This was the only voice that echoed in the midst of the silence and the accolades issued to Jenna’s and the post’s fun and fashionable side.

The star dancer, who is married to fellow dancer Valentin Chmerkovskiy, is the one who brings the audience closest to her. Yet, this post is different in that it captures the precise blend of ordinary life and celebrity glamor that made it resonate so strongly with the public’s conception. It made the morning walk a proclamation of self-assurance and of seizing your moment, whatever the circumstances. In the world of celebrity, the unplanned, a bit chaotic, but very fashionable, little snapshots usually go deeper into the audience’s hearts. Jenna’s defaming ‘walk of shame’ turned out to be a different case; on the contrary, she affirmed her status as a style icon who can make even the most outrageous look the sole logical choice. Her recent stunning outfit and her ballerina chic dress for a mysterious event show her consistent fashion sense. She also revealed her secret for flawless rehearsal makeup. Furthermore, Jenna debuted a hilarious TikTok partnership with Corey Fogelmanis and shared a heartfelt tribute to her eliminated partner Corey Feldman.
