Dancing With the Stars Judge Carrie Ann Inaba's Behind-the-Scenes Photos

9:40 A.M. Carrie Ann never wears the same dress twice, but her shoes are a staple. She alternates between the Bebe Karrie sandal in four different colors. ("I like the champagne color because it's universal for everything.")

9:45 A.M. Carrie Ann's secret weapon for a perfect dress fit? "The NuBra feather light! It's great for backless dresses. It has a corset-like design." Carrie Ann isn't kidding—she shows me entire drawer devoted to the bra.

9:47 A.M. At 46, Carrie Ann has an incredible figure, but she admits that "I've gained weight, but I'm fine with it. I want to age naturally. Sometimes it's hard [when I'm] not a size 2 or 4 anymore, but that's OK." So does she pay close attention to what she eats the day before show days? "Not really. Sometimes I have PMS, sometimes I feel great. My body's always changing, and I'm fine with that. What's most important is that I feel comfortable, so I want to wear what I'm feeling good in that day."

10 A.M. Breakfast time! Carrie Ann has it down to a science: "Chinese herbs and avocado! They are great inflammatory properties and give me lots of energy."

Carrie Ann is wearing a romper by Love Stitch (it's only $59!) that she got on ShopInJoyClothing.com.

10:15 A.M. Hairstylist Anna Maria Orzano, who has been with DWTS for 17 seasons, stops by Carrie Ann's trailer to discuss tonight's look. "Usually Carrie Ann comes in with her hair wet and I blow it out, but today it's already good to go. We'll look at some inspirational photos, and then Carrie Ann will tell me what she likes best," says Orzano.

10:17 A.M. Currently using extensions, Carrie Ann likes her hair long, even though she cut it short a couple seasons ago. "Who knows, I might take the extensions out next week," reveals Carrie Ann.
