When the world of high fashion and high‑stakes dancing collide, the result can be a headline‑making moment. That’s exactly what happened when 30‑year‑old Ciara Miller, a former Summer House star, stepped onto the red carpet of the Met Gala and announced her dream of dancing with one of the show’s most celebrated pros.
A Met Gala Moment That Sparked a Dance Dream
During the May 4 Met Gala livestream, Ciara Miller—who had embraced the “Costume Art” theme with a stunning ensemble—shared her excitement about the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars (DWTS). She told E! News that she’s been “campaigning” for Val Chmerkovskiy, a veteran pro known for his charismatic style and a string of successful partnerships on the show.
“I don’t know if they hear me, but yeah, sending out some emails, putting my word in. We’ll see where everyone wants to place me,” Miller said, hinting at a proactive approach to securing her dream pairing. Her comments came at a time when the show’s producers were teasing new contestants, including her and fellow reality star Maura Higgins.
Beyond the buzz, Miller also revealed her enthusiasm for learning new dance styles. She’s looking forward to tackling the Cha Cha and even hinted at a desire to perform a waltz—an ambitious move for a reality TV personality who has yet to step onto a dance floor.
Why Val Chmerkovskiy Is the Ideal Partner
Val Chmerkovskiy, a former professional dancer on the 2015 season of So You Think You Can Dance, has become a household name in the dance world. His ability to blend technical precision with showmanship makes him a popular choice for contestants who want to stand out. Miller’s admiration for Val is rooted in his reputation for pushing his partners to reach their full potential.
Val’s previous partnerships have included high‑profile celebrities such as singer Ariana Grande and actress Liza Koshy. His knack for adapting to a variety of dance styles—from the sensual tango to the upbeat hip‑hop—could provide Miller with the versatility she needs to shine on the ballroom floor.
Moreover, Val’s experience on the show’s “Dance Off” segments and his history of winning the coveted “Golden Shoe” award make him a strategic choice for anyone looking to make a splash in season 35.
Season 35: New Faces and Old Rivalries
Hulu’s announcement during the Get Real House event in April confirmed that Ciara Miller and Love Island’s Maura Higgins would be competing on DWTS season 35. The pairing of two reality TV stars from different shows has generated a lot of buzz among fans who are eager to see how their personalities will translate to the dance floor.
The season’s lineup also includes a mix of returning pros and fresh faces. While Val Chmerkovskiy is set to return, the show’s producers are keeping the rest
