Bachelorette’s Jenn Tran Reveals What She Did With Engagement Dress

Jenn Tran didn’t get sentimental over the engagement dress she wore while popping the question to Devin Strader on The Bachelorette.

Tran, 27, exclusively opened up to Us Weekly about what she did with her white lace Randi Rahm gown during the season 21 Bachelorette finale. “I returned that thing!” Tran, who split from Strader, 28, in August 2024, told Us while laughing. “I mean, they don’t really let me keep a lot of the wardrobe. I’m not buying that out of my own pocket, so all the clothes go back to The Bachelorette, except I got to keep a cute few things and I did not keep my engagement dress.”

While some women in Bachelor Nation have decided to burn their engagement dresses after a relationship didn’t work, Tran thought that wasn’t necessary for her situation. “Oh, my gosh. Oh gosh. Could you imagine?” she laughed to Us. (Clare Crawley threw her teal season 18 dress into a fire pit during her season 16 of The Bachelorette, and season 27’s Gabby Elnicki shared via Instagram that she wants to “burn this dress in a fire pit with sage” because “it has bad juju now.”)

Tran competed on season 33 of Dancing With the Stars with Sasha Farber right after her Bachelorette breakup, but she’s taking a break from reality TV and has returned to school to become a physician assistant. “I’m back in school, but I’m technically virtual for the first month,” Tran told Us, admitting she was nervous to take in-person classes after being in the spotlight. “I’m intimidated. I feel like people are gonna think I’m weird, actually.”

If you ask Us, Tran is sure to be surrounded by new friends when she heads back to PA school in person — and to dance classes, which she’s planning on signing up for.

“I’ve been trying to get myself in a dance class, but I’ve just been so busy and probably procrastinating and making excuses for not going because they’re just so intimidating,” Tran candidly said, even though she slayed on the dance floor with Farber, 40.

During her time on DWTS and The Bachelorette, Tran didn’t only learn new dance moves, but she also picked up makeup hacks that have stayed with her.

“I used to think I was really good at makeup until I started having makeup done professionally. And then I realized that I know nothing about makeup,” she quipped to Us.

From mixing concealer shades to find the perfect peachy undertone to cover her dark circles to layering liquid and powder blushes, Tran’s glam routine has never been better. One of her favorite products that she walked away with was the Makeup For Ever Setting Spray, which kept her glam in place for 12 hours at a time.

“We had to get our makeup done at 8 in the morning,” Tran explained of her DWTS schedule. “Then we had a dress run at noon and then we had the show at 5 p.m. and my makeup would last. It was insane. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

Besides makeup, Tran recently enhanced her natural features with lip filler and a touch of Botox. “I got [lip filler] back in June and I went to someone who does it very, very subtly because I knew I didn’t want anything too crazy,” she told Us, noting she got her pout retouched in December 2024 again. “I think if something’s bothering you, if you are not loving the way something looks and you can do something about it to boost your confidence, then why not? Now I have so much more confidence because I wake up and I don’t have to put on lipstick to like the way my lips look.”

When it comes to Botox, Tran zoned in on her face symmetry and “evened” out her eyebrows with the injection.

While she’s a busy gal, Tran promised she’s still planning to keep fans updated on her life through social media. “I don’t think I’ll be as present as I am right now because I do have to dedicate a lot of time to studying,” she explained. “Things are gonna look different, but I’m trying to think of content now and a plan so I can be as efficient about it as possible and still live, like, a normal life.”
