Vanessa Hudgens

Vanessa Hudgens was born on December 14, 1988 in Salinas, California to parents Greg Hudgens and Gina Guangco. Hudgens is an American actress and singer best known for her role in Disney Channel film, High School Musical. Her acting career started much earlier though. After moving to Los Angeles, Hudgens was cast on several commercials and films. It was High School Musical though that shot Hudgens straight to fame and made her one of the most sought after females in Hollywood. Her talent doesn't stop there, her debut album V was released in 2006 and included hits "Come Back to Me" and "Say OK". Vanessa has one of the most publicized relationships in Hollywood today, dating High School Musical co-star and cutie Zac Efron. The two of them have been a paparazzo favorite, mostly seen entering and exiting the gym. Even going to the gym, Hudgens manages to keep up on the latest fashion trends and we love every bit of it!

THE PRESSURE TO STAY THIN

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Sep 19 2008 in San Fernando Valley, CA. "High School Musical" cutie Vanessa Hudgens was spotted heading into a lunch meeting at Hugo's Restaurant in the San Fernando Valley on September 19, rocking a black and white look accentuated by her flowing dark locks. For a similar look to Vanessa's, start with a high-waisted paperbag skirt, similar to Parameter's High Waist Mini Skirt in Black. On top, Vanessa tucked in a plain white tank (like Sydney Los Angeles' Sydney Tank in Dawn White) and piled on the necklaces (for similar picks, check out Marnie Rocks' 14k Gold Filled Chain Necklace with 3 Agates and Femme Metale's Old World Cross Pendant in Silver). Carry an oversized black leather bag with gold hardware (similar to Linea Pelle's Dylan Zip Tote in Black) and pair with white heels, and you'll have "young Hollywood fashionista" written all over you! While Vanessa attended the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party at LACMA last week, she spoke out to "Entertainment Tonight" about the pressures of staying thin in Hollywood. She told the media that although there is a pressure to stay thin, that she doesn't let it consume her and she currently feels very comfortable in her body. I think that Vanessa looks great, toned and trim and healthy!

TEENAGE MILLIONAIRE

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Sep 08 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was spotted at LAX with her parents on September 8, where the Hudgens fam caught a flight to Mexico to watch Vanessa's performance at at Arena Monterey. Looking casual and cute in wide-leg linen pants (check out Lotta Stensson's Palazzo Pant in White), Vanessa wore a bright blue tank (similar to Joe's Jeans' Isley Pleated Top in Teal) with her favorite pair of Gucci aviators (JeeVice Optics' Crybaby II in Silver are similar). Making sure that she had a water bottle and her passport in hand, V.Hudg finished off her airport look with an oversized black leather shoulder bag (similar to Linea Pelle's Dylan Shoulder Messenger Bag in Black) and a long gold triangle necklace. She let her naturally wavy locks flow free for her flight, keeping the muss and fuss to a minimum. In related Vanessa Hudgens news that makes me very jealous, Forbes has released their "Top Paid Teens 2008" list, and Vanessa is of course on the list along with "HSM" co-stars Zac Efron and Ashley Tisdale. An industry insider tells In Touch Weekly that "for the first two "HSM" movies that aired on Disney Channel, the cast all made about the same. Now that "HSM 3" is headed for the big screen, all of their salaries went up." The insider went on to say that Zac was definitely paid the most for the newest film, and that Disney paid Vanessa a considerably lower amount due to that nude photo scandal that rocked the internet not so long ago. You'd think they'd want to pay her more for all the publicity that earned!

ZAC'S FIRST GLIMPSE OF VANESSA

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Aug 21 2008 in Hollywood, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was spotted running into a Hollywood Rite-Aid on August 21, and looking majorly cute as she was doing so. Wearing a white tunic (check out Letarte Swimwear's Popcorn Stitch Flutter Sleeve Tunic in White" or Cake Couture's French Cottage Tunic in White for a similar look) over tan shorts (similar to Johnson's Millicent Short in Haystack), Vanessa looks like she couldn't WAIT to get out of the paparazzi's line of vision! Accessory wise, V.Hudg paired Gucci's aviator sunglasses with thin gold bangles (like Rebecca Norman Jewelry's Wavy Thin Bangles in Vermeil) and an oversized brown suede bag (Carla Mancini's East West Shopper in Rust is made out of leather but is oh so original) and simple black criss-cross sandals. Simple and delightful! It seems that Vanessa's boo, Zac Efron, is feeling the need to speak out about the first time he laid his baby blues on Vanessa, and how it was basically love at first sight. He says, "Vanessa caught my eye straight away. She simply outshines all other girls because of her strong personality. I don't know if I believe in love at first sight, but I do believe in two people having chemistry straight away. Vanessa is just a wonderful person. I can laugh and talk with her and, most of all, we have loads of fun!" Geez, Zac is like president of the Vanessa Hudgens fan club!

ZAC IS A ROSY ROMANTIC

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Aug 03 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. Cutie-pie Vanessa Hudgens flashed her megawatt smile on the blue carpet of the 2008 Teen Choice Awards in LA on August 3, taking a few minutes to pose by herself after photogs got the shot they needed of her and boyfriend Zac Efron. Wearing a sweet tiered minidress (Zoa's Brick Dress comes in both tones of Vanessa's dress, black and grey, and LaROK's Coco Sequin Dress in White is adorable and similar too) with studded Louboutins and a texturized clutch (check out Julie K Handbags's Natalie Sleek Clutch in Black Python), Hudgens accessorized with a silver bracelet (check out Christie Martin Jewelry's Disc and Tag Bracelet in Sterling Silver) and bright red nails. Precious! Vanessa took home a surfboard for Choice Female Hottie at the TCA's, an award that I'm sure Zac Efron agrees with. Although she claims that she doesn't like revealing intimate details of her relationship with Zac, V.Hudg is spiling the beans on one facet of their relationship- roses! She recently said "Zac is amazing. Everybody else always thinks I like pink flowers- pink roses. I'm like, 'Red is better.' I guess I'm a girly girl, so they think that I automatically like pink. But my favorite color is red. I have it all over my room. Zac always buys me red roses. He knows they are my favorite." Score one for Mr. Efron!

DEETS ON VANESSA'S UPCOMING TOUR

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Jul 02 2008 in New York, NY. Vanessa Hudgens AKA Energizer Vanessa was seen on yet another day of whirlwind promotion for her new album, "Identified," in NYC on July 2, this time hitting up "Good Morning America" and "Live with Regis and Kelly." For her casual-cute look, start with an airy, sheer printed top (like Sine's Handkerchief Print Top in Multi) and pair with dark, almost shiny skinnies (similar to Denim of Virtue's Patience 5 Pocket Tapered Jean in Midnight). Next up, pile on the necklaces (V.Hudg is wearing one very similar to Marnie Rocks' Lapis Necklace with Blue Agate in Gold) and bracelets, and finish your look off with a statement pair of metallic, strappy heels. Side note: I have noticed that a lot of young starlets (including Vanessa and Lauren Conrad in the most recent post I did of her) are beginning to sport metallic silver nailpolish. Do you think this is becoming a new trend? And if so, is this a look that you are willing to try? In related Vanessa news, she spoke out about her upcoming tour, saying that, "in August, I’m gonna go on a state fair tour, which I’m really excited about. I’m just gonna be eating cotton candy all morning! [And] I’m actually going to be doing some shows with (High School Musical co-star) Corbin Bleu, so I’m just thrilled to do it." Now I know that Vanessa is uber popular with the tween set for her role in HSM, but do you think that her tour will be successful?

VANESSA

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Jul 01 2008 in New York, NY. The always delightful Vanessa Hudgens was spotted looking extra sugary sweet as she blew the paparazzi kisses as she arrived at JFK Airport in NYC yesterday, July 1. For a very Hudgens-esque look, start with a little adorable dress. While Vanessa chose a form-fitting black and blue plaid number, I'm feeling the casual yet slinky vibe of Rails' Nadea Dress in Blue and Lotta Stensson's Shirred Mini Tube Dress in Black. While I'm not sure if Vanessa actually wore her black peeptoe stilettos during the flight (I doubt it), she did acessorize with a few key statement jewelry pieces, like her oversized black ring (check out Rachel Leigh's Square Lux Ring in Jet) and her pretty pendant necklace (also like Rachel Leigh's Bow with Stone Necklace in Gold). Very cute... and her hair is looking amazing! Vanessa headed to NYC to promote her upcoming sophomore album, "Identified," and she says that the album is "a lot of fun. It’s my second album. It’s just me identifying myself. I’ve also been into things that are a little different– a jazzier feel. I wanted to interpret that into my album. It’s a different part of me that no one’s ever heard before." I'll bet it's still super Disney-approved!

GET READY FOR HSM3 MANIA!

Vanessa Hudgens seen on May 11 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. Vanessa Hudgens and BF Zac Efron (you can kind of see him in this pic) were caught canoodling, laughing and planting kisses on one another while sitting courtside at the Los Angeles Lakers / Utah Jazz playoff game on May 11. Vanessa looked cute and basketball-game-ready in a white embroidered tank (like Yoana Baraschi's fanciful Heirloom Mesh Bow Cami) under a black vest (check out Black Halo's Shawl Collar Vest in Black) and paired with grey skinnies (similar to Denim of Virtue's Patience 5 Pocket Tapered Jean in Faded Grey). Accessory wise, Vanessa paired a delicate gold necklace (extremely similar to Lisa K Designs' Lace Cake Necklace in Gold/Black) and a wristful of her trademark beaded bangles. While it's cute that V and Z are enjoying their time by attending sporting events, the two have a lot of filming to get to, as HSM3 is set for an October 24, 2008 release date. Let the HSM frenzy resume! Sheesh. V.Hudg is talking about the latest installment, saying, "HSM3 is the last chapter for the Wildcats. It definitly feels like home, and being back here with everyone is amazing." OK, now I need your input... are you going to be seeing the last slash final chapter of this megasmash series?

Ho ho ho?

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Feb 16 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was snapped at LAX on February 16, heading back to Austin, Texas to continue filming her upcoming feature Will, which is being described as a musical dramedy about a battle of the bands. Sounds pretty HSM-esque to moi! Vanessa began her airport look with a metallic gold jacket over a simple white tee (like Laura Dahl's cute Fievel Tee in Winter White), and paired with brown-tinted skinny denim (similar to Serfontaine's Starlite Jean in Chocolate). For her accessories, Vanessa of course carried her favorite Balenciaga bag (for an edgy and more wallet friendly version, peep Aaneta's Large Cleopatra Bag in Olive), and piled on the bangles (Accessories & Beyond's Magnetic Leather Bracelet in Navy is similar). No stranger to scandal, it seems that Hudgens and BF Zac Efron might be wrapped up in another sex-related shocker. According to reports (which are more than likely false, but hey, I figured I'd still fill you in on this), Vanessa and Zac have a festive, holiday themed sex tape that is about to make it's rounds. On the tape, Vanessa is allegedly wearing a Santa hat and a red thong, and says, "I’ve been a good girl this year," to which Zac makes his big entrance. Oh Vanessa, did you learn ANYTHING the first time?? UPDATE: This rumor has been proven FALSE!

the new power couple?

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Feb 16 2008 in Venice, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was spotted leaving her songwriter's home in Venice, CA on February 16, undoubtedly gearing up for the release of her new album, which is tentatively slated for a June 24 release date. Vanessa dressed cute and casual for her day of errands, although there is so much going on in this outfit of hers, I don't know where to begin! Hudgens started with a thick knit sweater over a basic black tube top (Tricia Fix's Dana Top in Black Jewel is a funkier take on the basic tube), and paired with vintage wash jeans (like Serfontaine's Fox Straight Leg Jean in Vintage) and her favorite Balenciaga bag. She accessorized her outfit with a horn necklace (like Castaway Jewelry's Horn Pendant and Anchor Cluster Necklace) and a braided belt around her waist (take a look at Jack Rabbit Collection's Aspen in the Eighties Belt). In other Vanessa news, it seems that the Zanessa train is going full speed ahead. Lalate.com has ranked Vanessa and BF Zac Efron as the #5 Hottest Hollywood Couple, saying, "Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens have captivated a generation by their on-screen turned real life romance. When HSM 3 is released, expect Zanessa to be the most talked about couple of the season. A stark contrast to wild out of control teen actors of the 80s and 90s, Zanessa has a strong head on their shoulders, always adorable, and always looking great." Very true, very true!

A break from

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Feb 15 2008 in Studio City, CA. Paps spotted Vanessa Hudgens in Studio City, CA on Friday, February 15, taking a stroll with a female pal. While the photogs were scrambling for a pic, Hudgens kept it casual on her relaxing day in the Valley area of Los Angeles. Vanessa started her look out with a pair of black ballet flats (check out Matiko Footwears' Verne Flat in Black) paired with a grey skinny denim (like Denim of Virtue's Patience 5 Pocket Tapered Jean in Grey). On top Vanessa paired a basic black knit tee (just like Rails' Kenna Scoop T in Black) with a motorcycle-esque bomber jacket. Hudgens accessorized her casual look with beaded bracelets (check out Brian Nagourney's Knot Bracelet in Black) and her signature Balenciaga handbag (for a more affordable solution, check out Linea Pelle's Dylan Large Shoulder Bag in Black). With all the work Hudgens has been doing lately, you'd think she'd be able to cough up the change for a new handbag! Between her movie and music career, Hudgens definitely has had her hands full lately. She is taking a break filming her new movie "Will," to work on her sophomore album. The album's tentative release date is June 24, and her first single is set to air on Ryan Seacrest's KIIS FM radio show in early April. With all this work I wonder if Vanessa had a chance to enjoy her Valentine's Day. No word on whether she and Zac spent it together. However, she must have been happy that Friday when dozens of paparazzo were giving her plenty of roses and flowers left over from Valentine's Day!

Zac's keeping his mouth shut

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Jan 19 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was spotted in Los Angeles on January 19, followed by loyal boyfriend Zac Efron. She always manages to stay one step ahead of Zac, literally! Wearing a cute and casual outfit consisting of a purple silk top (check out Walter's Short Sleeve Blouse in Purple) and faded skinny jeans (liek True Religion's Johnny Jean in Dark Baja), V.Hudg accessorized with shiny gold ballet flats, a long gold cross necklace and black and gold bangles (similar to Kimberly Faith's Multi Chain Bracelet in Gold). While it's obviously no secret these days that Efron and Hudgens are crazy about each other, it seems that Zac is not anxious to go around dishing the dirt on the specifics of his relationship with Vanessa. He said in a recent interview, "I think specifically relationships are sacred ground. It needs to be between two people and everyone else can get their noses out." Well well well! At least Vanessa doesn't have to worry about Zac spilling any intimate details to the tabloids.

Vanessa's settlement details

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Jan 14 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was spotted out and about in LA with her mom, Gina, on January 14, running errands such as stopping off at the pharmacy and heading to lunch with another girlfriend. Going for the "basic yet still anything but boring" look of jeans and a cami, Vanessa wore vintage-inspired skinny jeans (like True Religion's Johnny Jean with New Hardware in Urban Cowboy) with a black silk cami (check out Gold Hawk's Cami in Raven Black), white cardigan (similar to Autumn Cashmere's Cable Drape Neck Top in Winter White) and of course a bag by her favorite purse designer, Balenciaga. It seems that for a while in 2007, things couldn't seem to get any worse, what with her whole nude pictures scattered across the internet scandal. But now, 2008 is definitely seeming to look up for Vanessa. In addition to the news that the newest "High School Musical" movie is confirmed, Vanessa has settled in court with her former attorney, who sued her for "breach of contract and unjust enrichment, claiming he helped the actress land songwriting and recording deals that netted her more than $5 million and that he advanced costs and expenses for the star during the period they worked together." Allegedly, Hudgens still owed him $150,000, but now the case has been settled for an undisclosed amount. Now that Hudgens' legal troubles are out of the picture, she can start gearing up for the newest HSM, in addition to paying more attention to that BF of hers, Zac Efron. 2008 is going to be the year of Zanessa, I predict!

Perfectly paired and pampered

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Jan 08 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was spotted in Los Angeles on Tuesday, January 8 getting perfectly polished and pampered at the spa. While the writer's continue to strike, the actresses in Hollywood continue to play! Vanessa decided to spend her free time by treating herself to some luxurious treatments in Los Angeles on Tuesday. Her casual dressed up look is something that many style experts are expecting to start popping up everywhere in the spring, and Vanessa is just starting early! Vanessa created the color scheme of this particular look with her tank top colored in purple, a brown tone, and navy (similar to Zoa's Criss Cross Combo Top in Mauve Pink), and the rest of her look was perfectly paired. Vanessa's navy pin striped wide leg trousers (check out Signorelli's Pin Stripe Pants in Teal) matched the colors in both her purple scarf and her tank top. Vanessa completed this perfect pairing with several brown bead bracelets (check out Brian Nagourney's Forget Me Knot Bracelet in Black) and, what else, her signature black Balenciaga bag (check out Linea Pelle's Dylan Large Shoulder Bag in Black). When not filming the "High School Musical" movies or hanging out with BFF Ashley and BF Zac, Hudgens keeps busy working on her new album. Vanessa is currently in the studio working on her second album, which is set to release sometime in 2008. After having a successful first album, it will be interesting to see if the music career of Vanessa's will take off. This could either turn into a Jennifer Lopez success story or we could be witnessing another flop like Lindsay's or Paris'. Wonder where this second album will take her. After all they say the sophomore album is the one is where you either prove it or lose it. What do you think? Does Vanessa have a successful career in her future?

Gigglemonster!

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Jan 01 2008 in Toluca Lake, CA. It seems as if whenever Vanessa Hudgens is photographed out and about, the girl can barely keep a straight face! I wonder what the paparazzi are doing that is so hilarious to her? Vanessa was spotted dining at one of her favorite restaurants, Paty's Diner, in Toluca Lake, Ca with boytoy Zac Efron on January 1, obviously enjoying herself on this first day of 2008. Going for a comfortable yet still chic look, Vanessa started with a great pair of black denim (check out Deener's Highwaist Cigarette Jean in Tar). She continued her look with an oversized hoodie (opt for Rails' Corado Pucker Hoodie Sweater in Sea Green, a deliciously unique shade), a gold watch, a black headband, a Balenciaga bag and a beaded bracelet (like Brian Nagourney Jewelry's Forget Me Knot Bracelet in Black). Dare I say it... this girl is becoming an up-and-coming style star? Style aside, it seems that Vanessa is finally ready to talk candidly about her nude photo scandal that swept the internt back in 2007, as she gave an exclusive interview for an upcoming issue of Seventeen Magazine. Vanessa says, of the photos, "I’m much better now. But truthfully I don’t like talking about it. It was something that was meant to be private, and even though it isn’t anymore, I’d still like to keep it as private as I can. It was very traumatic, and I am extremely upset it happened. I hope all my fans can learn from my mistake and make smart decisions. But I wouldn’t have been able to get through it if it wasn’t for my family, friends, and fans, who supported me all along the way. It’s very unfortunate because with the Internet these days, you don’t have a personal life. Nothing is private: Everyone knows everything, and they can find out everything about you.." Very true statements; it seems as thought Vanessa is learning the ropes of Hollywood at an early age!

Vanessa's low key New Years Eve

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Dec 26 2007 in Los Angeles, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was spotted on December 26 in Los Angeles running errands and strolling thr streets. Hudgens was seen sporting her signature simple but stylish style (very similar to the style of Ms. Lohan). Hudgens began her look a footstep ahead with a pair of black flats, and then paired a grey cardigan (like Zoa's Lily Alpaca Cardigan in Grey) with a green silk top (check out Walter's Charmeuse Bow Top in Emerald). On the bottom Vanessa stuck to the classic black skinny jean (like Denim of Virtue's Patience 5 Pocket Tapered Jean in Black). Vanessa accessorized with a her signature Balenciaga Giant City handbag which everyone in Hollywood has seemed to be carrying lately! While other girls in Hollywood were out partying it up at some of the nation's largest clubs, Vanessa showed off her Disney innocence on her more low key night, catching a movie with her mom. Hudgens ended her last day of 2007 with all smiles and with a year like she had, it's no wonder why she was cheery. After High School Musical became one of the world's biggest craze, Hudgens' career has skyrocketed. After photos of her and Zac Efron hitting the Hawaiian beaches hit the internet, the public was now sure that their on screen romance was taken off screen as well. Vanessa hit a low when shocking photos of her hit the internet, but it seemed to only help her career. Since then, Vanessa has become one of the most followed and talked about girls in Hollywood. With such a rollercoaster year in 2007, it will be interesting to see what 2008 has in store for Vanessa.

Vroom vroom!

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Dec 17 2007 in North Hollywood, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was seen on December 17 in North Hollywood, California grabbing breakfast with her mom at celebrity diner Paty's Restaurant. Hudgens pulled off a classicly chic and hipster look. From bottom to top, Hudgens wore a pair of brown wedges, super skinny jeans (similar to Joes Jeans' Chelsea Jean in Reed), a white v-neck tee (look at Raw 7's Captain V Neck Tee in Ivory or Rails' Kenna Long Sleeve T in Cream). Hudgens look was topped off with a slouchy dark chocolate cardigan (look at Gold Hawk's Slouchy Sweater in Dark Chocolate). VH accessorized her look with a classic and simple Chanel quilted purse (get a less expensive version with Dutchy Handbags' The Clutch in Black), and a rosary around her neck. Vanessa was seen grabbing breakfast with her mom and cruising in her brand spankin' new Audi convertible. Just like boyfriend Zac Efron, the two "High School Musical" stars are driving around LA in similar vehicles. Hudgens was first seen driving around in hers Saturday, December 15, just one day after her birthday. It's safe to assume that this is definitely a birthday present for Vanessa. However, we aren't sure where the car exactly came from. Some suspect that it may have been a gift by Zac himself so that the two would have matching cars. With rumors of their relationship being on the rocks, a brand new car may just be the perfect way to rekindle the Holiday romance. Will love stay strong for the two Disney stars in 2008? Or will we see Vanessa's Audi convertible back on the lot? Only time will tell!

Perfectly Polished 4 the President

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Dec 09 2007 in Washington DC. "High School Musical" cutie Vanessa Hudgens was spotted at Andres Chreky's Perfect 10 in Washington DC on December 9. Hmm… what was Ms. Hudgens doing at Perfect 10? My guess is that Vanessa is getting beauty essentials to look a perfect 10 for the President himself. Vanessa is in town to sing at the yearly Holiday spectacular Christmas in Washington. With leaving Los Angeles, Vanessa gets a chance to sport some winter gear with the rainy cold east coast weather. Vanessa sports her conservative but fashionable side yet again, sporting a classic black pea coat with a pair of gray skinny jeans (similar to Joe's Jeans' Button Fly Chelsea in Angelica) and (as always) a to-die for handbag stuffed with who knows what! Maybe the script of "High School Musical 3". Vanessa has just signed on to make a third "High School Musical" alongside the original cast. Rumor has it, she got paid 1.3 million to sign on for the third edition, nearly 2 million less than co-star and boyfriend Zac Efron. Although some might consider that a blow, that's definitely a few more handbags for the closet for Vanessa!
