Their chemistry as a couple, paired with their shared experience in collaborating with hair and make-up teams, ensures an exciting night ahead. Audience members can expect to see their remarkable journey as performers come to life during the event.

Val Chmerkovskiy – A Dance Legend
Val is no stranger to accolades; a 14-time US National Champion and two-time World Dance Champion, his legacy also includes three coveted Mirror Ball trophies from "Dancing With the Stars." Beyond his dancing prowess, he has ventured into acting, appearing in productions such as the Amazon Prime film "Being the Ricardos" and shows like Netflix's "Fuller House." Val's entrepreneurial spirit shines through his ownership of Dance with Me Studios, a national network of dance studios. Moreover, following humanitarian efforts prompted by the ongoing crisis in Ukraine, Val co-founded Baranova 27, demonstrating his commitment to humanitarian aid.

Jenna Johnson – Star Power
Jenna Johnson is equally distinguished in the world of dance, having garnered fame as a contestant on "So You Think You Can Dance" and later as a professional dancer on "Dancing With the Stars." Notably, she won Season 33 alongside "The Bachelor"'s Joey Graziadei while previously winning in Season 26 with Olympian Adam Rippon. Jenna’s performances have broken barriers, including making history with a same-sex partnership alongside JoJo Siwa. Her recent Emmy® nomination for a heartfelt routine pays homage to the late judge Len Goodman, further underscoring her artistic capabilities.

This year's ceremony will also honor renowned make-up artist Todd McIntosh, celebrated for his work on shows like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," and Peter Tothpal of “Guardians of the Galaxy” fame, both receiving Lifetime Achievement Awards. Additionally, the Vanguard Award will be presented to RCMA Makeup, emphasizing innovation in the industry.

Amid the glamour, the MUAHS Awards will also address community needs by raising funds for those affected by the recent wildfires in Los Angeles. Support will be directed toward the Walsh Di Tolla Spivak Foundation, part of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE).
