After being the co-lead of the last season of ABC’s “The Bachelorette, 32-year-old Gabby Windey went on to compete on “Dancing With the Stars”.
Although Windey came in second to reality television star Charli D’Amelio, the former NFL cheerleader was asked to co-host the “Dancing With the Stars” live tour, alongside professional dancer Emma Slater.
For the past few months, Windey was touring the United States, but all good things come to an end, and the 32-year-old just took her final bow on the last tour date, turning in her “sparkly fringe” outfits once and for all.
Gabby Windey Shows Off Long Legs In Sparkly Fringe
The former “Bachelorette” lead shared a goodbye post to Instagram, not just to the tour, but to the attire she has been wearing while on stage.
“You’ll never see me in sparkly fringe again,” she wrote alongside a photo of herself in a purple, pink, and orange fringe dress. Her long legs are on full display as she paired the dress with a pair of dancing heels.
Fans don't want to see Windey give up the fringe as they took to the comments section to write things such as "Never? You could totally wear that again on Easter Sunday" and "Well then what are you going to wear to the eras tour."
And one user said this outfit was their favorite of the tour, writing, "This was my favorite costume of the show!!"
Others want to see Gabby Windey take over as the new host of "Dancing With the Stars" now that Tyra Banks has officially announced she would be stepping aside. "i wanna see you in sparkly fringe again as the HOST of @dancingwiththestars 👏🔥🔥," one fan wrote as another chimed in, "New replacement for Tyra? We all love you Gabby . Your amazing and so down to earth !!! Please please be the new host !!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️."
Windey Throws It Back To Famous ‘Bachelor’ Side Eye
What fans absolutely loved about the post was Windey’s reference to her famous side eye from when she was on the “Bachelor”.
The screenshot was included as the last slide of the post, which was taken from when she was on Clayton Echard’s season of the ABC reality show.
Fans couldn't get enough of the side-eye photo as they commented things such as "That last pic was my phone Home Screen for months after! Best picture ever!" and "NOT THE LAST PIC 😂."
While another fan said the moment was a "Bombastic side eye."
Are Gabby Windey and Alan Bersten Dating?
Gabby Windey and Alan Bersten were spotted having dinner at Avra in Beverly Hills and left around 10 p.m. on Wednesday, leaving fans to speculate the two were on a date.
“They’re both single. He wants to find love and so does she,” a source told PEOPLE when discussing the couple's outing. “He asked her out. This is their first date. They haven’t been out at all. He was so excited to take Gabby out. They grew really close while Gabby was on DWTS and they remained close. The hope for both of them is that something blossoms from this.”
Another eyewitness said that Windey and Bersten were “constantly smiling and giggling” as they enjoyed their meal and some champagne. “Alan often leaned in close to Gabby, who was dressed casually in a white tee but dressed it up with a black skirt with a slit and heels with her hair half up and half down,” the eyewitness told the outlet. “They sat outside at a private table. Gabby took her phone out to show Alan something and they both smiled.”
“They were very engaged in each other’s conversation,” they continued to explain of the couple. “They ate fried zucchini chips and Gabby took photos of their food as Alan looked at her and smiled. They seemed very into one another.”
