Rumer Willis proved she's a true dancing queen when she andher partner Val Chmerkovskiy  took home the mirror ball trophy on DWTS last month. Now, fans will be thrilled that her reign is set to continue as she joins the "Dancing With the Stars: Live! Perfect 10" tour this summer.

Despite the fact she'll be hitting the road as a dancer, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis’ eldest daughter stillhas a hard time believing that was actually her on the dance floor as a competitor on the TV show. "When I watch the dances on YouTube I feel so proud, like I’mwatching someone different,” she told HELLO! at theStarStop launch in NYC. “I still can’t believe that it’s me.”

Well, now all the 26-year-old beauty has to do to remember islook at her arm. Since she loved her experience so much, Rumer got a new tattoo to honor it. “It’sa reminder for myself for the journey I went on and about finding confidence,”she explained. “It’s just more about a message, everything you are searchingfor is already within yourself, you just have to believe it. You can’t baseyour value in other people’s opinions of you – whether they love you and thinkyou are the most amazing person ever, or they hate you.”

During the season, her biggest supporters were her parents as well as her sisters Scout and Tallulah. And with the abundance ofcostumes at her fingertips, she found herself looking to her mother Demi for styleinspiration, just as she had as a kid. “Looking at all the gowns on her clothing rack [growing up] wasone of my favorite things,” she shared. “I thought back to those incredibledresses, and I could literally say, 'I love this Givenchy Paris Fashion Weekshape' or 'I love this cut', and they made it for me.”

Sparkles also became a staple for her during her stint on Dancing with the Stars. “I’m presenting at theCMT Awards with Noah Galloway, and I was looking through dresses,” she continued. “Iwas like, 'This isn’t sparkly enough!' I don’t know what I’m going to do! I’m soused to sparkly feathers now.”

And when she isn’t glammed up for DWTS, she can be found in muchmore casual attire. Rumer admitted, “My mom and I are both obsessed with overalls right now so wheneverone of us finds a new pair, we buy two.”

Fans can thank that new love for the #twinning picture with her mom thatRumer posted to Instagram. “I had no idea!” she stated about the post that immediately went viral. “We literally were doingsomething silly.”

In addition to silliness with mom, the talented star will also likely be doing plenty of dancing in the future. “I don’t want to stop,” she added. “It’s such a weird phenomenon going three months withevery day seven hours of dancing, then you win – and stop. I found myself goingstir crazy! Iloved dancing.”
