Vanessa Hudgens seen on Apr 24 2012 in Studio City, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was photographed leaving lunch with her beau Austin Butler in Studio City on April 24, and the the third wheel on the lovebirds' lunch date? Austin's mom! Things must be getting pretty serious between Austin and Vanessa if their lunches are a family outing. For her outfit, Vanessa chose a flowy, printed maxi skirt (very similar to Chaudry's Skirt in Black) that perfectly displayed her trademark bohemian vibe, along with a loose knit cropped sweater (try one of Free People's similar pieces, such as the Pop Layer Pullover Top in Sherbert or the Nova Yarn Pullover in Buttercream) and a pair of brown boots. Accessory wise, VH opted for a black Chanel bag with a long gold chain strap, a pair of circular sunnies, and a chain necklace (try Robyn Rhodes' Dallas Necklace in Gold). What's your take on Vanessa's ensemble here, everyone? Would you call it a winning or losing street style look? After having lunch with mom, Vanessa and Austin were recently spotted stocking up on home goods at Ikea. Do you think that they are on their way to domestic bliss?

What are your thoughts on this New Year's Eve 'fit for Vanessa, is it a bit too casual for such a celebratory evening? Vanessa was photographed kissing beau Austin Butler at midnight, in addition to their major PDA session poolside earlier that day. They seem completely smitten with each other - it seems like whenever Vanessa and Austin are photographed together they can't keep their hands off of one another - do you think their relationship will last?

Vanessa Hudgens showed up to the premiere of Iris: A Journey Through the World of Cinema by Cirque du Soleil at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood with little sister Stella on September 25, and was working her signature bohemian style when it came to her outfit. Clad in a flowy patterned maxi dress (for something similar, try Hale Bob's Long Sleeve Slub Full Length in Neutral or Jenny Han's Lace Back Maxi Dress in Zebra), Vanessa accessorized with a black shoulder bag, statement pendant necklace, and multiple eclectic silver rings. To emulate her jewelry choices, pair Kara by Kara Ross' Eclipse Grey Python Pendant Necklace in Grey with Femme Metale Jewelry's Serpent Ring in Silver. What are your thoughts on Vanessa's outfit here, everyone - do you love it or is it a bit too Mrs. Roper for your taste? In other Vanessa news, it seems as though she's officially kissed Zac Efron goodbye. She was recently seen cuddling up to another Disney star, Austin Butler. The duo both attended a birthday party for pal Ashley Tisdale's older sister Jennifer at Hollywood hotspot Lexington Social House, where according to People, "Austin and Vanessa were together but in a large group. They were not doing anything to show that they were really together romantically but they were definitely hanging out and having fun." Sounds like a lot of innocent flirtation to me!

Vanessa Hudgens seen on May 15 2011 in Cannes, France. Strolling in Cannes while checking her iPhone, Vanessa Hudgens seemed oblivious to the ever-present paparazzi.

Starting with a Free People tunic (try Gold Hawk's Ant Lace Caftan in Blanc de Blanc) and a pair of Levi's 501 cut off shorts (check out AG Jeans' Pixie Short in 7 Year), Vanessa decided that more was more when it came to her accessories. Wearing a huge pair of Gucci aviators and toting a Givenchy bag, VH slipped into a cool pair of Kettle Black sandals (get the bohemian look with Koolaburra's Kythira Feather Sandal in Black) and finished her look off with multiple rings and a Natalie B. necklace. For something similar, take a look at Satya Jewelry's Secret Dream Silver Necklace. Is Vanessa's outfit something you would wear during the summer season, readers? Since VH is no stranger to controversy, it comes as no surprise that she's taking off her clothes for the camera once more. Just a sec... it's not what you think. We're talking about her latest campaign for Candies, where the former Disney tartlet is photographed in a variety of outfits, including a bra and panties. Says Hudgens: "The more I grow up, the more I’ve been comfortable with my style, therefore allowing me to really experiment with all different looks. I’m extremely inspired by the 60's and 70's. I adore Bianca Jagger and Cher." When asked if she prefers edgy or conservative fashions, VH dishes: "It depends on the occasion. That's why I love Candie's. You can rock it out or be a pink princess." When it comes to her current style crushes, Vanessa says that she's inspired by "Miley Cyrus, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Ashley Tisdale of course, and Blake Lively. They all play with fashion and have fun with it!" Who are your current style crushes, readers?

Tess Belt in Slate Cobra High Waist Wide Leg in Leah Montana Tank in Black Surplus Twill Jacket in Green Tea

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Mar 17 2011 in Studio City, CA. Photographed running errands in Studio City on March 17, Vanessa Hudgens did her best to put on a happy face despite her most recent nude photo scandal. For her casual ensemble, VH started with Current/Elliot's The Low Bell jeans (similar to Joe's Jeans' High Waist Wide Leg in Leah) paired with Wildfox Couture's Love Potion #9 tank (for a simpler tank with a similar silhouette, check out Ella Moss' Montana Tank in Black), and then added on a military green jacket (try Hard Tail's Surplus Twill Jacket in Green Tea) that is super similar to Megan Fox's two entries down. Accessory wise, Vanessa chose Elizabeth and James' Park sunglasses, a black leather shoulder bag, and a brown waist belt. For an exotic belt option, try Julie K Handbags' Tess Belt in Slate Cobra. For those of you who haven't heard, Vanessa is in the hot seat once again after a new set of explicit nude pictures hit the web this week. When will celebrities (and everyone, for that matter) learn - do NOT take nude pictures unless you want them to leak! After two previous sets of naked Vanessa pics leaked in 2007 and 2009, it seems like V thought the worst was behind her. Wrong! I guess every two years the public is in for new inappropriate Hudgens photos. Vanessa's attorney recently told Us Weekly: "Vanessa is deeply upset and angered that these old photos, which were taken years ago, continue to resurface. It is particularly disturbing that whoever got hold of these private photos seems to be intent on illegally leaking them out over a long period of time. We are actively working with law enforcement to determine who is responsible and hold them accountable for their actions." Thoughts, everyone?

Snake Shell Ring Elvira Hancock Puff Shoulder Mini

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Dec 18 2010 in Las Vegas, NV. Stepping out for the first time since news of her breakup with Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens was seen celebrating her 22nd birthday at Pure nightclub at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas on December 18. Flaunting her body in a form fitting (to say the least) dress and sporting major "come hither" sexy faces, Vanessa proves that looking good is the best revenge. For her Sin City ensemble, Vanessa slipped into a shimmery silver bandage dress (for other sexy, metallic options on CoutureCandy, try one of Luc by Lucy's festive $88 frocks such as the 3-Tone 2011 Mini in Ball Drop, the Holiday Sequins Dress in Grey, or the Elvira Hancock Puff Shoulder Mini in Metallic Silver) that she paired with plain black pumps, a silver clutch, and a few statement rings (try Femme Metale Jewelry's Snake Shell Ring in Pink). Tousled hair and a nude lip completed VH's look. What are your thoughts on Vanessa's style here, and newly single status? Props to her for going out and flaunting what Zac's missing, or trying a bit too hard to be sexy here? Leave a comment with your thoughts. While most of us going into hardcore ice cream and The Notebook mode after a breakup, Vanessa seems to be staying positive. When asked about her highly publicized split from Mr. Efron, Vanessa simply said "We’re good," while giving a thumbs-up. A source inside the Las Vegas club said: "The girls were taking shots, drinking champagne, cocktails and Red Bull. Vanessa took off her shoes, jumped on top of the furniture and had a dance off with girlfriend Ashley Tisdale!" Sounds like she definitely wanted to let off some steam!

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Oct 12 2010 in Santa Monica, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was snapped shopping in Santa Monica on October 12, and didn't seem to be too pleased when she spotted the paps shooting away from the distance. Vanessa headed to the Third Street Promenade and stopped into the Apple store (she was spotted lugging a new printer to her car) before having lunch with a few friends. Vanessa paired a loose patterned tank (take your pick of either Ella Moss' Heritage Tank in Black or Sky's Kele Top in Brown for similarly patterned tops) with dark grey skinny jeans (very similar to 7 for All Mankind's Skinny in Dark Smoke Grey) and a maroon belt, and then added on a black fedora and strappy sandals. For the finishing touches to her ensemble, Vanessa wore a silver cuff (like Lois Hill's Thai Weave and Granulation Cuff in Silver) and toted a black shoulder bag for her day of errands. Are you feeling VH's look here, everyone? She seems to have mastered the bohemian look when it comes to her personal style, but do any of you wish that she'd experiment more with different looks? In Zanessa relationship news, it seems that Vanessa's beau Zac Efron always seems to be the one discussing their romantic life. In a recent interview, he said: "Dating Vanessa makes many things much easier, because you understand each other without having to explain a lot. In terms of planning, I am very picky – worse than any woman. I drive everyone mad, except for Vanessa, she is always very understanding. The only disadvantage is that she is always dressed so stunningly that I look awkward and stand out." Do you agree with Zac's statement that he looks awkward next to her? Lay it on me, readers!

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Sep 22 2010 in Hollywood, CA. Revealing something about her personality that we never knew - she's a Weezer fan?? - Vanessa Hudgens stepped out to catch the band's performance at the Axe Music One Night Only concert series held at Dunes Inn Motel - Sunset in Hollywood on September 22. Posing for photographers on the red carpet while flashing a "W" sign with her fingers (for Weezer), Vanessa was also seen snapping shots of band member Rivers Cuomo on her iPhone during their performance, while hanging with Khloe Kardashian. I have to be honest here and say that I never expected to type the names Weezer, Vanessa Hudgens and Khloe Kardashian in the same style entry! For her "rock chick" ensemble, Vanessa started with an on-trend Blu Moon Studded Army Jacket (for similar options, check out West Style Story's Micro Stud Jacket in Army or Da-Nang's Silk Cargo Jacket in Norm) that she paired with a loose fitting tank top (like Wilt's Hi Lo Cotton Tank in White) and jet black jeggings (try Chip & Pepper's Night in Black). Vanessa accessorized with tons of jewelry, from rings to necklaces to bracelets. Get the look by pairing Robyn Rhodes' Starr in Silver with Accessories & Beyond's Silver Bangle Bracelet in Black. From there, slip into a pair of grungy boots and you'll be set. What are you feeling about Vanessa's look as a whole readers - love it or hate it?

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Sep 19 2010 in Los Angeles, CA. Stepping out for a red carpet appearance, Vanessa Hudgens was photographed working all of her best angles at the LA premiere of Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole, held at Grauman's Chinese Theatre on September 19. Opting for a flirty floral look, VH wore a low cut floral dress that she paired with a few bangles and strappy cognac heels. To emulate Vanessa's look, grab a floral dress from CoutureCandy - Black Halo's Jackie O Floral Mini in Print, Wish's Chromatic Dress in Print, and Shumaq's Isa Dress in Black are all adorable. From there, be sure to tote a black leather shoulder bag, similar to Foley + Corinna's Disco City Tote in Black, and you'll be all set. What are your thoughts on Vanessa's outfit - love it or lose it? For those of you who are Zanessa fans, you might be amused to hear that at first, Vanessa (big surprise) wasn't a fan of Zac's recently grown beard. Zac said, "Early on, they’re super itchy, super prickly. Vanessa was not a big fan. But now it’s really soft and she’s coming round." I don't know, I definitely think Zac looks better without all of that facial hair!

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Aug 12 2010 in West Hollywood, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was caught by the paparazzi as she was wandering around West Hollywood on August 12, trying her best to avoid the shutterbugs. VH kept her outfit simple by starting with a pair of oh-so-trendy skinny cargo pants (very similar to James Jeans' Twiggy Cargo in Cappuccino) along with a black cami (try LA Made's affordable LA Made Scoop Tank in Black) and a scarf (I love the pattern of Splendid's Striped Scarf in Charcoal). From there, Vanessa slipped on a pair of black flip flops, carried a messenger bag and wore a pair of super reflective aviator sunglasses for her day out. The finishing touch? Why, jewelry of course! VH opted for a statement ring (get the look with Anna Beck's Gold Plated Saddle Ring) as the icing on the cake. What are you feeling about VH's ensemble here, everyone? Is this your style, or is it a bit too basic for you? For those of you who are fans of V and her "HSM" boyfriend Zac Efron, you might be interested to know that Zac is speaking out about their relationship in the latest issue of Details Magazine. Responding to the rumors that Zanessa's relationship is fake and merely a publicity stunt, he says: "That's just f*cking insane. I've never even heard of that happening. I don't even know who I would have been around who would have thought that was even a good idea. It would have been so much easier to call it off a long time ago. They want you to believe it, and they hope they'll influence you to break up by making you seem insane for being in it. And then you'll play the field, and then they can write about you a sh*tload, make sh*t up, and speculate about everything. Right now they know exactly what's going on and it's not very interesting and there's no money to be made on it. It's exactly how it should be. It's real." Interesting - do you believe Mr. Efron?

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Jul 24 2010 in San Diego, CA. Always one to make a statement at a promotional appearance, Vanessa Hudgens went the sexy route as she promoted her upcoming film Sucker Punch at Comic-Con in San Diego on July 24. Donning a figure hugging strapless LBD (and I do mean little... try Luc by Lucy's Alligator Alexandra Dress in Black or Wish's Contact Bandeau Dress in Black) that she paired with leopard print strappy heels, Vanessa accessorized with a long horn necklace (similar to Ettika's Italian Horn Charm Chain Necklace in Orange), a simple gold bangle on her left wrist and a chunky silver cuff (check out Anna Beck's Sterling Silver Large Studded Cuff) on her right. She finished things off with a sky blue manicure and her usual wavy jet black locks. Are you diggin' this look on VH, readers? Lay it on me! For those of you who saw Zac Efron's recent visit to a strip club, you might think that Vanessa would have a problem with her boo visiting a place where naked girls gave him private dances. However, it seems that Zac checked with Vanessa before heading there and got her permission! Zac told Jimmy Kimmel, "The hardest thing was calling your girlfriend before. That's the awkward part. How do you even start that conversation without feeling like a total a**hole? (But) she was fine with it." What are your thoughts, everyone... would you be okay with your boyfriend visiting a strip club?

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Jul 20 2010 in Los Angeles, CA. Stepping out to support her man, Vanessa Hudgens was photographed on the red carpet of Zac Efron's new film, Charlie St. Cloud, held in LA on July 20. It seems that V is dead set on shedding her good girl image, as she picked a slinky Reem Acra Spring 2010 backless silk dress with pearl detail (check out a shot of the backless portion of her dress here) that she paired with silver strappy Jimmy Choo heels, a variety of bangles, and a Ferragamo bag. To get a look similar to Vanessa's, start with a sassy silk frock, such as Tt Collection's Cecile Dress in White or Voom by Joy Han's Vogel Babydoll Dress in Silver, and add some pearls to play up the glamorous aspect of VH's look (I love Danielle Stevens Jewelry's Ribbon Pearl Necklace in Pink Pearl) as well as a mixture of silver and gold bracelets (try Alex and Ani's Set of 12 Assorted Expandable Wire Bangles in Gold/Silver). Finish things off with a cool bag and silver heels - voila! So chic. Are you guys liking this look on Vanessa, or is it not your favorite? It seems like either Vanessa or Zac are constantly discussing their relationship with the media, and this time, it was Zac's turn as he offered the press a peek into his life with V. He said: "I'm not neat by nature, but I'm kind of figuring it out - and Vanessa helps out a lot. Right now, [Vanessa and I] are doing great and just having a lot of fun together." It seems like they've been together forever!

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Jul 04 2010 in Malibu, CA. Disney sweetie Vanessa Hudgens was spotting enjoying the Fourth of July holiday with boyfriend Zac Efron at a friend's beach bash in Malibu, rocking a casual beachy look for her 'fit. To get Vanessa's look, start with a great pair of white shorts (like 7 for All Mankind's Roll Up Short in White or Joe's Jeans' Military Cargo Short in White) along with a sheer, vibrant tank. I love the added pattern of Ella Moss' Print Tank - so cute! Vanessa finished off her look with a silver knuckle ring (which looks to be Elizabeth and James to me - maybe a gift from her Beastly co-star Mary-Kate?), a few silver bangles and layers of necklaces. Try Robyn Rhodes' Sophia Necklace in White Opal for one similar to VH's. Are you into this look on her, readers? Is it perfect for the beach or a bit too bland? You might have seen that Vanessa is this month's cover girl on Glamour Magazine, and she is speaking to the mag about how she and Zac had an "instant connection." Says V: "When we started dating, Zac was adorable. I mean, he wasn't the guy that he is today. Like, he had a gap in his teeth! He was a whole different person. I look at him today, and I see a man. He's just grown-up." She continues, "Right off the bat, we had a connection, I think everybody could see it. I guess [we have a mature relationship]. I think that we inspire each other. [I love] having someone to grow with." So cute! Do you think that Zanessa will go the distance?

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Jun 14 2010 in Los Angeles, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was photographed on the red carpet of the Activision E3 2010 preview event that was held at the Staples Center in LA on June 14, taking time to pose solo after posing with gal pal Brittany Snow. For her E3 ensemble, Vanessa started with a slouchy coral frock (try Luc by Lucy's Eyelet Elise Dress in Coral or RaMona LaRue's Chanel Dress in Salmon) that she belted with a woven black belt and paired with a sheer black cargigan, similar to Wit.'s Light Weight Boyfriend Cardi in Black. VH completed her outfit by slipping into a pair of YSL platforms and wearing a wristful of mismatched bangles - get the look with Alex and Ani's Makah Expandable Wire Bangle Set in Multi. Are you fond of Vanessa's look here, readers, or is her style getting a bit too predictable lately? In some not-so-great news for Vanessa, it seems that the release date of her upcoming film Beastly (a modern remake of Beauty and the Beast that features co-stars Mary-Kate Olsen and Alex Pettyfer) has been pushed back. Originally slated for release on July 30, 2010, the film is now set to open on March 18, 2011. It seems that the reason for the bump was that the film's original date was the same as V's boyfriend Zac Efron's new flick Charlie St Cloud, and the studios didn't want the two competing against each other at the box office. Do you buy it?

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Jun 02 2010 in Woodland Hills, CA. Seeming to be photographed more than ever lately, Vanessa Hudgens was caught by the paps as she stopped by a friend's house in Woodland Hills, CA on June 2, smirking slyly as the photogs snapped away. For her casual daytime ensemble, Vanessa started with a pair of distressed skinny jeans (check out Tag Jeans' Chelsea 2 Skinny in Super Destroy Dark) and paired them with a slouchy white tank (like American Vintage's Jacksonville Slub Tank in White) and a super oversized drapey cardigan (Goddis' Angelique Sweater in Carmel is very similar). VH finished things off with a beaded necklace and drop earrings (the motif of Christie Martin Jewelry's 3-Oval Earrings in Gold is similar) and tan peeptoe booties. Is Vanessa's "boho-chic" style something you'd try and imitate, or are you not a fan? The night before on June 1, Vanessa presented Eva Marie Saint with the Legacy Award at the 2010 Crystal + Lucy Awards: A New Era, a moment that appeared to give V quite a thrill. Eva, who won an Oscar in 1954 for On The Waterfront, appeared backstage with Vanessa, who said: "It is such an honor and I look up to you [turns to Eva] so much and it’s so brilliant to be standing here by your side. My heart has stopped several times tonight." Eva wittily replied: "You’re gonna make it. (laughs)." So cute!

Vanessa Hudgens seen on May 24 2010 in West Hollywood, CA. Vanessa Hudgens made an appearance at the LG Mobile Phone Event at SoHo House in West Hollywood on May 24, going for her signature sassy Boho style as she posed on the red carpet. Wearing a strapless aqua Tibi dress (Luc by Lucy has a great selection of similar strapless dresses, such as their Tube Top Tracey Dress in Purple and their Abstract Polka Dot Dani Dress in Mint Polka) that she paired with Jimmy Choo's killer Zoom heels, Vanessa accessorized with a few layered necklaces and a blue cocktail ring (try Jacquie Aiche's Solid Gold Labordorite Candy Ring). Sporting a messy updo, VH finished things off with a black croc clutch (similar to Jalda's Croc Original Clutch in Black). Are you liking Vanessa's look here, readers, or do you think her style's gotten a bit too predictable lately? Vanessa is speaking out about her next role in the upcoming film Sucker Punch, and if you read the title of this entry, you might have guessed it - she's playing a prostitute! Of the role, she says: "Honestly, it's a combination of a lot of things. It's really fun and it's a fantasy and you're going to have to see to understand. In addition to sexing up her good girl Disney image, VH says that the role required lots of physical training. She says, "We did martial arts. We trained with the Navy SEAL(s). We got to shoot a lot of guns. It was very exhilarating!" Sounds like nothing she's ever done before on film!

Vanessa Hudgens seen on May 12 2010 in Hollywood, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was photographed with boyfriend Zac Efron on the red carpet from NYLON and YouTube's Young Hollywood Party that was held at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood on May 12, opting for a bright purple look for her evening out. In a short and sassy purple number (to get your purple fix, try one of Single Dress' festive plum-colored frocks, like the Rocker Dress with Belt in Purple or the Violet Ruffle Dress), Vanessa was full-on pouting as the photogs snapped away. She seems to be the latest starlet after Jennifer Lopez and Whitney Port to jump on the high bun hairstyle bandwagon, but do you think that this 'do looks good on VH? She finished her outfit off with a few silver bangles (try Anna Beck's Timor Skinny Bangles in Silver) and a strappy black heel (Rock & Republic's Syler Pump in Black is ideal for a fun night out). Maybe when Vanessa was filming Beastly with Mary-Kate Olsen, MK shared her "prune" posing tip with V! Remember when it was rumored that MK & A would say "prune" on the red carpet to achieve the perfect pout for photographs? So funny! While at the NYLON hosted soiree, rumor has it that Vanessa and her boo Zac were totally inseparable, but was it because Vanessa keeps Z on a very tight leash? Says a source, "I'm pretty sure she didn't let go of his hand the entire night. Even when they were just sitting down with their friends." A source continues to tell E! Online, "After the couple posed on the carpet together, they walked in with their group to head to their table outside by the pool. As they were being escorted, Zac (who is a very sociable dude) briefly tapped some girls who were in the way of their route to the table. The girls looked giddy that the Zefron was there and smiled and chatted with him for a sec until Vanessa pushed him forward and gave the brunettes a major staredown." Who knew VH was so overprotective?

Vanessa Hudgens seen on May 05 2010 in Los Angeles, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was spotted doing a bit of shopping on Melrose Place in LA on May 5 (Cinco de Mayo!), rocking her signature casual style while sipping on a Synergy Kombucha drink - love those! For her look, VH paired distressed denim cutoffs (like Joe's Jeans' Roll Shorts in Blanchet) with a textured black belt (I love the studs of Linea Pelle Collection's Pyramid Stud Hip Belt in Black) and a flowy cotton t-shirt (try Wilt's Boyfriend T in White). Adding on a black leather shoulder bag and a pair of oversized sunnies, Hudgens finished off her 'fit with a pair of vintage-looking brown boots and a long necklace (check out Alanna Bess' Zircon Citrine Pearl Necklace in Gold). Do you like Vanessa's look here, readers? And if so, is this something you would don for a weekend of errands? In other Vanessa news, she recently dished about how she tends to get kind of lonely in her huge house - would having boo Zac Efron move in be the solution, Vanessa? Here's what she has to say: "I got this massive house and bought all this stuff... I do love my place, but it’s too big for me to be there by myself. If I ever am there by myself, I just lock myself in the bedroom and never come out. My one own room is all I need." What do you think, readers... should VH invite ZE to move in?

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Apr 03 2010 in Malibu, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was caught by the paparazzi as she indulged in a bit of retail therapy at Planet Blue in Malibu on April 3, staying true to her beachy, bohemian style. Vanessa chose a lavender maxi dress (check out P.G.D. Style's Goddess Dress in Sapphire for something similar, or if you're looking for a brightly colored maxi dress for the spring, look no further than Single Dress' Maxi Marisol Dress in Coral) that she seemed to have to hold up in order to walk, in addition to a pair of oversized sunnies and brown leather flat sandals (similar to Gwyneth Shoes' Briee Strap Sandal in Orange). VH accessorized with a serpentine pendant necklace and a nice assortment of gold bangles (I love the unique shape of Calico Juno Designs' Bracelet 28 in Gold). Do you like Vanessa's look here, readers? Is this something you would ever choose for a day of shopping by the beach? In related VH news, the release date of her new flick Beastly is getting closer, and Vanessa was recently interviewed about one of the main differences between her film and the original, Beauty and the Beast. She says, "One thing [director] Daniel [Barnz] actually said to me in the beginning is the beast will have no fur. No fur! I think that would just make it a little bit less believable." Ha! I for one am not ashamed to admit that I am a bit excited to check out this flick, primarily because I'm dying to see Mary-Kate Olsen's portrayal as the evil witch!

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Mar 23 2010 in Beverly Hills, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was photographed leaving a medical building in Beverly Hills on March 23, looking super cute and stylish as she went along on her merry way. I have really been loving VH's style lately, she's like a breath of fresh air whenever I see her. Her style is totally breezy and cute, you must admit. Plus, Vanessa seems to be really fond of her new oversized hat, as she was seen wearing it back on March 12. Do you like the BFH (big floppy hat) look on Vanessa? For the rest of her 'fit, she paired a flowy shirt dress (for similar silhouettes, try James Perse's Drawstring Shirt Dress in Black or their Plaid Drawstring Shirt Dress in Porcupine) with a brown leather belt (like Linea Pelle Collection's Vintage Pieced Belt in Vintage Tmoro) and matching strappy sandals (similar to Gwyneth Shoes' Briee Strap Sandal in Orange). Hudgens completed her look with her favorite black handbag - for two similarly stylish options, check out Linea Pelle Collection's Dylan Satchel in Black or Lodis' Pia Nylon Stefania Weekender in Black. Vanessa has taken time recently to promote her upcoming flick Sucker Punch, saying "I'm very excited about it because I finally get to be an extreme badass and kick butt. There were so many [scenes that I love]. I get to shoot a .50-cal gun, which is a gun that's on the back of a tank that's in the Army. It's intense. It's just the most thrilling thing a person can ever do is shoot that gun." Sounds like a totally different role than she's ever played before!

The always adorable Vanessa Hudgens made an appearance to promote her new film Beastly at the CBS Films Luncheon during ShoWest 2010, which was held at Paris in Las Vegas, NV on March 18. For her ShoWest look, Vanessa started with an exotic printed dress (try Sue Wong's Cheetah Print Beaded Dress in Gold) under a black jacket (check out Blaque Label's 3/4 Sleeve Jacket in Black) that she belted with an oversized belt (similar to Rough Roses' Contour Waist Belt in Black) and black peeptoe heels. Her finishing touches? A simple gold necklace (check out W 10th by Alexa Garner Sidaris' 1/2" Engraved SUCCESS Medallion in Yellow Gold) and her megawatt smile. VH sure has mastered the coy hand-on-hip pose, wouldn't you say? All posing aside, what are your overall thoughts on her look here, is this something you would wear? While Vanessa and her boo, Zac Efron, have managed to keep their romance pretty under the radar, it seems that the young stars are finding ways to keep the spark alive. People is reporting that although the couple was dining with a group at a recent dinner at new LA hotspot Agura, a source said: "Zac and Vanessa were very affectionate. The whole group seemed to be laughing and having a great time." In addition to Z & V, their mutual friend Brittany Snow was also there. Sounds like fun!

Accessory wise, V toted along her favorite Balenciaga handbag (for two similar options, try Tylie Malibu's Jett Bag in Black or Lesa Wallace Handbags' Bond Bag in Black) and slipped on a delicate gold charm necklace (like Kimberly Faith's Sign Triple Charm Necklace in Gold) and a pair of strappy wedges (for a similar style with a heel, check out Andrea & Joen's Mara in Camel). A great casual yet polished look for Miss Hudgens... do you like this look on her, readers? Last week, Vanessa made a beautiful appearance at the 2010 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, and spoke out about how she would love to win the Oscar one day herself. She said, "One can only hope. The important thing is people doing what they are truly passionate about and putting their heart and soul into it. Once you have that, people acknowledge that and hopefully ends you up on that stage." Very well said, I think! Looks like Vanessa is also one of the people who is really into Avatar, as she was asked which of the Best Picture nominated films she would have liked to be in and said: "I was almost going to say that [Avatar]! Now I’m feeling kind of generic. I think it’s incredible what they did with the new technology. Coming to set and not having to wear makeup everyday — amazing. I would’ve been so happy." Maybe she could convince Mr. Cameron to let her audition for the sequel?

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Jan 07 2010 in Studio City, CA. Teen queen Vanessa Hudgens was photographed leaving her house in Studio City, CA on January 7 as she was picked up by a limo (how fancy - but then again, who calls for car service and asks for a limo?) to go to an event at the Century Hotel in Beverly Hills. For Vanessa's look, she started with a great pair of inky skinny jeans (try Joe's Jeans' Provocateur Skinny Jean in Baicy) and a patterned, flowy top (similar to Single's Flutter Sleeve Top in Champagne), and accessorized with black peeptoe stilettos, a black leather bag with fringe detailing (try Camenae's Aphrodite Executive Bag in Black), and a long turquoise finger ring (I love the look of Ija Designs' Cuttlefish Ring in Silver). Have any of you ever seen a picture of a real cuttlefish? Creepy! But now back to V.Hudg - are you feeling her 'fit? I think she looks great, breezy and adorable. There have been a few rumors circulating lately that Vanessa was going to be teaming up with the diva herself, Ms. Mariah Carey, for a movie that is inspired by the "X Factor" and "American Idol" television shows, however it is safe to say that this one is just a rumor. Says VH, "I haven’t heard [of this movie.] I’m doing a lot at the same time. I’m on tour right now and stuff. There has been a lot of stuff that I’m really excited about!" Way to keep your quotes vague, Vaness!

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Dec 14 2009 in Hollywood, CA. Birthday girl Vanessa Hudgens clung tightly to the arm of her boo Zac Efron as she left her North Hollywood home on December 14, heading to East Restaurant in Hollywood where she was celebrating her 21st birthday. "High School Musical" pals Ashley Tisdale and Monique Coleman joined VH, where I'm sure she enjoyed her first (legal) drink. For her celebratory ensemble, Vanessa chose a figure-hugging black dress with lace detailing (get the look with one of Single's dresses, like the Stitched Bust Dress in Black or the Contrast Lace Dress in Black/Nude) under a warm-looking leather jacket (get the motorcycle look with Genetic Denim's The Fonda Motorcycle Jacket in Black Mirror), and then paired with a silver clutch (I love the beaded detail of Moyna Handbags' Beaded Fold Over Clutch in Silver) and black peeptoe slingback heels. On a beauty note, Vanessa rocked glamorous waves, a ruby red lip, and a killer smokey eye. What are you thinking about VH's birthday look, readers? Love it or lose it? For her birthday festivities, it seems that Vanessa thought it was just going to be her and Zac, but all of her friends were in on the surprise. How fun! A source says, "She seemed overjoyed and grateful for the whole experience. Zac and Vanessa were adorable together. They were smiling at each other and laughing and are really sweet to each other. Great couple." Meanwhile, Vanessa's grandmother had some advice for the starlet now that she is the legal drinking age. And what is this sage advice you ask? "Keep it legal. Now, now she can keep it legal." Ha - now?

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Oct 24 2009 in Vancouver, Canada. Vanessa Hudgens was spotted looking a bit bleary eyed as she arrived at the Vancouver International Airport to continue filming her movie Sucker Punch, opting for comfort over style by donning a snuggly pair of Uggs. For the rest of her look, she chose Siwy's Hannah Jean in Snowstorm paired with a long graphic tank (check out Lauren Moshi's Chandelier Swing Tank in White), her favorite black Balenciaga bag, a few gold rings on her right hand (try Allison Daniel Designs' Lots of Dots Ring in Gold) and a long black rosary (like Queen Baby by King Baby Studio's Rosary With 3D Cross & Crowned Heart). What are your thoughts on Vanessa's airport ensemble? It could have been a lot worse. While we haven't heard much about V.Hudg and her boo Zac Efron together lately, it seems that the two are still going strong. People.com is reporting that the two took in the Vancouver Giants game from a private box just a few days ago, adding in "the super-cute couple was joined by their friend – and "High School Musical" costar Lucas Grabeel as they cheered the hometeam to victory against the Prince George Cougars. And Hudgens was really feeling the team spirit: She sported a Giants jersey with her name printed on the back. Earlier that day, the actress stepped out for lunch at Glowbal Grill for a bite – and a break from shopping in Yaletown." How cute! Do you see Zac and Vanessa staying together for a while?

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Aug 09 2009 in Universal City, CA. Teen queen Vanessa Hudgens was spotted striking a pose on the red carpet (make that green grass) of the 2009 Teen Choice Awards, held at the Gibson Ampitheatre in Universal City, wowing the photographers with her striking Christian Dior Fall 2009 midnight blue-ish/purple mini dress with matching purple suede Brian Atwood stilettos. For a similar look to V's couture creation, check out one of the comparable (yet much more affordable) frocks here on CoutureCandy, like LaROK's Arrow Neck Dress in Iroquois, Tracy Reese's Embellished Tunic in Light Navy, Lotta Stensson's Solid Halter Dress in Grape, or Black Halo's Bustier Detail Pleated Mini Dress in Geranium. VH completed her look with her trademark loose waves, a few large cocktail rings and a grey clutch. Many were wondering if V would attend the TCA's this year, given that she was recently involved in yet another nude photo scandal. Earlier in the week, several photos leaked of Hudgens in various states of undress, and the young actress had no comment for the situation. I guess she didn't learn her lesson the first scandal around! However, there were loud whispers that these photos were taken before the original ones were that leaked, but no one has confirmed nor denied that thought. Not to worry, Vanessa scandal may already be old news, as Twilight star Ashley Greene is the latest young starlet with nudes to sweep the 'net. When will everyone learn!

Vanessa Hudgens seen on May 31 2009 in Universal City, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was seen working the red carpet of the 2009 MTV Movie Awards held at the Gibson Amphitheatre on May 31 in Universal City, sporting a killer tangerine look that really complimented her skin tone. Wearing a long tangerine Max Azria dress with a scarf hem (try Lotta Stensson's similar, shorter and saucier Sahara Dress in Poppy), Ms. Hudgens definitely made use of some boob tape - can you imagine if a gust of wind came up? Hello peepshow! She accessorized her awards show ensemble with a pair of Jimmy Choo "Riv" platform beaded sandals, a square brown croc clutch (if you're in the market for a new wallet, Carla Mancini's Medium Wallet in Brown Crocodile is similar to Vanessa's), two ornate gold necklaces (Danielle Stevens Jewelry's 10k Gold Plated Chain Monogram Necklace is similar to V's top necklace, while Calico Juno Designs' Necklace 85 in Gold is similar to the bottom one) and a stack of gold charm bangles (just like Alex and Ani's "Lots of Love and Luck" Expandable Wire Bangles in Gold). I love the beautiful contrast between V's raven black hair and her golden, glowing skin, which perfectly compliments the summery shade of her dress. Thoughts, readers? After the awards show came to an end, it seems like all of Hollywood headed to Teddy's at the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood for the after-party, and Vanessa and boyfriend Zac Efron were no exception. A source tells People Magazine that Zac and Vanessa "were holding hands, dancing close and always had their arms around each other." What romantic after-partiers! There have been some rumors going around recently that Z and V were on the rocks, but their lovey-dovey behavior at the awards makes me think these rumors are just that.

Vanessa Hudgens seen on May 15 2009 in Los Angeles, CA. "High School Musical" hottie Vanessa Hudgens was caught jetting out of LAX yesterday, May 15,as she rolled a large suitcase through the terminal to catch her outbound flight. For an outfit similar to VH's, start with a flirty pink frock (like Misile's Amsterdam Dress in Coral or Gold Hawk's Two Tone Morph Dress in Geranium Pink) under a boyfriend grey cardigan (super similar to Signorelli's Love Tree Button Cashmere Cardigan in Ash), and slip your gams into a pair of brown suede slouchy boots. To complete your look, paint your nails a bright shade of firetruck red, grab a boho-chic fringed bag and slip on a long necklace (try Rachel Leigh's Millie's Brandy Alexander Necklace in Gold) - and you're set! While Vanessa truly broke out due to her role as geeky Gabriella in the "HSM" franchise, V is said to be making a departure from the Mouse House. She says, "It definitely is a love-hate thing, you know. Disney is incredible. And 'High School Musical' did wonders and I could not be more thankful. But at the same time, people see me as my character, Gabriella. And I'm just excited to kind of branch out of that and have people see me in a new light. You can put yourself in a hole in the ground if you continue to do the same thing. And that's kind of why I want to branch out. But yeah, of course it's always something that's somewhat frightening." Case in point, her next role in the upcoming film "Sucker Punch," which is directed by "300" director Zack Snyder. Of the role, V says, "People I think are going to be genuinely shocked. It's about these girls in a mental institution that in their heads gets turned around to be a brothel. And in the meanwhile they are kicking serious ass. They're killing people with machine guns. It's crazy. But I'm a big fan of Zack Snyder's. And I feel like everything he does is so beautiful and visual. And I can't wait to see what he's going to do with it." Yikes! Sounds intense.

Vanessa Hudgens seen on May 10 2009 in Studio City, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was spotted grabbing a ton of take-out at Daily Grill in Studio City (so much that she needed a restaurant employee to help her carry it all to her car!) on Mother's Day, May 10, and looking adorable as ever in the process. For her Mommy's Day look, VH started with a basic black tube dress (like Lotta Stensson's Shirred Mini Tube Dress in Black) that she belted with a brown leather belt (check out Pellemelle's Palomino Belt in Brown with Gold Buckle). Hudgens then accessorized with an oversized pair of Ray-Ban aviators, brown gladiator wedges (similar to Matiko Footwear's Ashley 2 Wedge in Brown), a black wallet (give Carla Mancini's Medium Wallet in Anthracyte a try) and of course her bags of food. Vanessa then finished off her outfit with tons of jewelry, like a beaded necklace (Castaway Jewelry's Small Antique Thai Buddha Rosary in Gold is similar) and an armful of unique bracelets and bangles (Ettika's Triple Stack Multi Color Satin Cord Bracelet and Leather Knot and Faceted Metal Bead 3x Wrap are both similar to what Vanessa's rocking). What are your thoughts on Vanessa's ensemble here - do you think it's appropriate for running Mother's Day errands? Both Vanessa and boyfriend Zac Efron value their privacy immensely, and as such, are not members of any social networking community such as Facebook or Twitter. However, there is a Vanessa profile on Twitter that V says isn't her! She says, "I don’t know who it is, and apparently, there’s a lot of people who think it’s me, and it’s freaking me out!" Try telling that to her 70,000 followers. Efron echoes VH's sentiments, saying, "It’s funny, everywhere I go I rep the fact that I don’t have any online presence or communicate at all online, but still there’s a couple of Facebooks and things that scrape through. If you have me, it’s a poser, don’t talk to him. And Vanessa doesn’t have any of them, either. None." Guess that sets the record straight!

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Apr 17 2009 in Los Angeles, CA. Vanessa Hudgens showed up at the 17 Again premiere in Los Angeles on April 17 to show her boyfriend Zac Efron some support, looking absolutely adorable in an outfit that her stylist did a great job coordinating for her. I love the duality between the girly hue of pink and the toughness of the leather belt and heels. VH's look started with a floaty rose-colored frock (Gold Hawk's Two Tone Morph Dress in Geranium Pink or their Mini Ball Dress in Blush are similar) and was belted with a thick black leather belt (like Linea Pelle's Sliced and Studded Hip Belt in Black). Next, Vanessa grabbed a coral clutch (like Antoinette Lee Designs' Vita Stitch Clutch in Coral) and slipped into a not-too-comfortable pair of black skyscraper heels. Jewelry wise, Hudgens donned a turquoise ring and pretty gold bracelet (like Rachel Leigh's Audrey Bow Bangle in Gold). I have to say - I'm diggin' this look! In Vanessa news, it seems that she is playing it safe when it comes to crazed fans. She says, "I carry a Taser at all times. I keep it for self-defense. I'm moving into a house by myself, and it's scary." I totally get that! Last year Hudgens was terrified when a man attacked her on the street. She continues, "There was a guy who was walking down a street in London and I think he was a little drunk. He was blocking the door so my bodyguard had to push him aside. I got hit in the face. I looked in the mirror and got a huge scratch and I was bleeding." So scary! Be careful, V!

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Mar 25 2009 in West Hollywood, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was caught by photogs heading into a script reading in West Hollywood on March 25, looking like the perfect mix between boho and polished young Hollywood. Starting with a flowy, floral patterned tank (check out Karina Grimaldi's eccentric Isadora Backless Silk Top in Asteroid Yellow) and ankle-skimming dark wash denim (try James Jeans' Ritchie Slim Leg Ankle Jean in Icon), Vanessa slipped on an oversized pair of classic Ray-Ban aviators and her favorite ivory ankle boots. Next up is her tried and true black Balenciaga bag (for a similar bag, try Carla Mancini's Satchel Bag in Black) and some key pieces of jewelry: some cool necklaces (check out Ettika's Horn Braided Deerskin Chain Tassel Necklace in Light Brown or their Dbl Feather w Hamsa & Heart Lariat Necklace in Brown) and a few beaded bracelets (I'm digging Ettika's 24 Multi Faceted Beads Leather Bracelet in Black - which also comes in eight other awesome colors). Overall, I think this look is great in VH. Do you agree? While the word on the street recently was that Vanessa auditioned for a part in the upcoming Twilight sequel New Moon, Vanessa's BFF, Ashley Tisdale, isn't sure if this rumor is true, because V never told her about it! She tells MTV, "I think that could have been a rumor. Don't believe the rumors! She would tell me if she did." Ashley did, however, admit to being a fan of Twilight, saying, "I've seen the movie. I haven't read the books though. I thought it was really good, but I'm not the one who's read the book so I can't say what's different. I thought they did a great job. I'm a big fan of Robert Pattinson's." Join the club, Ashley! What about you, dear readers - did you like the flick?

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Mar 02 2009 in Hollywood, CA. Cutie-pie Vanessa Hudgens was spotted on the red carpet of the premiere of Watchmen on Monday, March 3 in Hollywood, flaunting her toned gams and raven black tresses. For her red carpet look, VH picked a brightly patterned mini dress (for similar options, try LaROK's Tiva Dress in Multi, Tricia Fix's Mandy Mini Dress in Pink/Black/Teal, or Walter's Neon Watercolor Print Dress in Pink Multi) and paired with violet-hued stilettos (I think these are awesome), a few chunky rings, and an armful of gold bangles (check out Alex and Ani's Joie de Vivre Expandable Wire Bangle Set in Gold). What do you think of Hudgen's look - are you diggin' it? I think it's youthful and flirty and perfect for her. And there's no arguing that Vanessa has mastered the seductive-over-the-shoulder pose for the photographers! While it's no secret that she and boyfriend Zac Efron are two of the hottest young stars in Hollywood, it seems that Zac's mother is taking precautions to make sure that they don't become two of the hottest young parents in Hollywood! Zac recently told Elle Magazine that his mom bought him condoms for Christmas, saying, "My stocking was full of condoms this Christmas. She buys me the economy box!" Good thinking, mom! There are also some rumors circulating that Zac has popped the question to Vanessa, as her mom isn't too hot on the idea of the two living together out of wedlock. A source says, "Zac is relieved to be out of the pressure cooker, because Vanessa’s mother has been putting serious heat on him to make an honest woman out of her daughter. She is old-school and doesn’t approve of Vanessa living with Zac without some type of wedding promise. Zac loves the current arrangement. He adores Vanessa and they gel really well together. Gina already considers Zac a part of the family. So she’s happy that he proposed." I wonder if there's any truth to this story? I guess only time will tell!

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Feb 15 2009 in Toluca Lake, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was spotted pumping gas into her rented Porsche Cayenne in Toluca Lake on February 15, sporting a sparkly butterfly hairclip that treads the thin line between cute and cheesy. What are your thoughts on V's butterfly choice - more fit for Mariah Carey than VH? For the rest of her look, Vanessa paired a slouchy knit grey sweater (check out Autumn Cashmere's Cable Tie Neck Top in Flannel) over a flowy white blouse (similar to Gold Hawk's Sheer Flower Pullover in Gardenia) and slipped her tiny gams into a pair of skinny dark denim (like 7 for All Mankind's Quilted Roxanne Jean in Hawaii) and ivory ankle booties. Accessory wise, Vanessa chose two gold rings and a ton (and I mean a ton) of bracelets, in addition to a brown wallet (very similar to Carla Mancini's Medium Wallet in Brown Crocodile) and the previously mentioned butterfly clip. What are your thoughts, are you diggin' V's look here? For those of you Zanessa fans out there, it seems the two had quite the intimate Valentine's Day this year. Dining at Hollywood eatery Pace, a fellow diner said, "They were very affectionate, holding hands. They chose to sit next to each other rather than across from each other. Zac, who recently turned 21, had a glass of red wine. Vanessa, was wearing a dress, while Zac was dressed warm in a red flannel shirt." Sounds very romantic! Did you have a special Valentine's Day this year?

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Jan 20 2009 in Los Angeles, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was spotted picking up lunch to-go from Chinese restaurant City Wok on January 20, looking adorable and boho-chic as she did so. Wearing a sheer, embroidered white top (very similar to Gold Hawk's Sheer Flower Pullover in Gardenia) with dark skinnies (like Joe's Jeans' Cigarette Skinny Jean in Zoe) and slouchy grey boots, VH slipped on an oversized pair of mirrored aviators and toted along a grey fringed bag as she picked up her order. Her finishing touch was a dainty gold charm necklace - if you would like a lovely necklace like Vanessa's to call your own, check out Amy DiGregorio's Auburn Necklace in 14k Gold Filled. Overall, I think Vanessa's look is simple and doesn't look like she's trying too hard to imitate, say, Nicole Richie or Mary-Kate Olsen, as she sometimes tends to do. What are your thoughts? Cute or copycat? In other Hudgens news, we all know that the rumors circulating about Vanessa auditioning for a role in the upcoming Twilight sequel are completely false, and now the most recent gossip swirling is that VH's BF, Zac Efron, is heating things up with none other than Megan Fox! While reports claim that Zac and Megan's sexy flirtation began at the Golden Globes, an eyewitness claims "The spark between Zac and Megan was obvious to anyone there. There were times when they seemed lost in conversation together, while Vanessa stood by like a sulking little girl. Vanessa is lovely, but Megan is considered one of the hottest women on the planet." What do you think, do you believe this "source"?

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Dec 22 2008 in Beverly Hills, CA. A warm and wintry Vanessa Hudgens was spotted doing some last minute Christmas shopping with boyfriend Zac Efron at Barney's New York in Beverly Hills on December 22, seeming to be a bit overwhelmed by all of the paparazzi attention (in addition to the last minute stress of the holidays!). To get Vanessa's cozy look, start with a snuggly sweater (like Autumn Cashmere's Cable Babydoll Sweater in Birch) and pair with dark skinny denim (similar to Joe's Jeans' Cigarette Super Slim Jean in Kennedy) tucked into tall black suede boots. Next up, grab a goes-with-everything black handbag (Vanessa's is her trusty Balenciaga, but Rough Roses' Pamila Hobo in Black is awesome as well), and finish off your look with a few statement rings (VH chose a long finger ring similar to the one Mary-Kate wore a few entries down- are these gals being inspired by Beyonce's crazy fingerwear?- as well as a simple gold band, like Erica Anenberg's Bling Faith Braile Ring in Gold). While her look isn't risky by any means, it's still cute and perfect for the season. What are your thoughts on V's look? It seems as if even though Vanessa got her Barney's fix, she still had some last minute gifts (or maybe gifts for herself) to pick up on Christmas Eve, as she was spotted stopping by Frends Beauty Supply Company with sister Stella for some last minute items. I hope all of our dear CoutureCandy readers had a great holiday, be it Christmas or Hanukkah or Kwanzaa (today!), and that everyone was able to spend it with their loved ones. Anyone care to share their holiday memories for 2008?

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Dec 18 2008 in Westwood, CA. A very bangy Vanessa Hudgens was spotted heading into a recording studio in Westwood earlier today, December 18, looking casually chic as always. To steal Vanessa's look, start with a statement bag, like Vanessa's favorite studded Balenciaga bag with gold hardware. Next up, pick a funky graphic tee, like Signorelli's Peace Heart Thermal in Black, and pair with dark wash skinnies, similar to Hudson Jeans' Stella Skinny Jean in Brilliant, tucked into slouchy brown suede boots. Accessory wise, V piled on the bracelets and bangles (the more the better), and for ones similar to Vanessa's choices, I would suggest CC Skye's Pair of Chain Bangles in Gold, as well as Linea Pelle Collection's Skinny Pyramid Stud Bracelet in Violet. Finishing touch? A pretty gold ring, a la CC Skye's girly yet edgy Malibu Stud Ring in Gold. Voila! For those of you who can't get enough of the Disney starlet, she is speaking out about how filming the popular franchise basically turned into her actual high school experience. She says, "This has been my high school experience. I got to make that close group of friends you have in high school. I got to graduate with them, to throw my cap in the air for the very first time. And I guess I got to have a fairytale prom." She continues, "When I heard that we were doing a third one, I could not have been more excited because they're my best friends. And you're getting to do what you love, which is acting, singing and dancing." Very cute, but what about you- did you have a positive or negative high school experience?

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Dec 10 2008 in Hollywood, CA. The adorable Vanessa Hudgens was spotted out and about in Hollywood on December 10, and although her bangs are a little overwhelming for her delicate face, I am still feeling her look her. Vanessa started with a flowy vest (Lotta Stensson's Fringe Peace Vest in Copper is equally cool) over a dark brown tank (check out Rails' Lexi Tank in Mocha), and threw on a pair of distressed skinny jeans that still manage to have a bit of that boyfriend-slouch to them (take a look at Denim of Virtue's Acceptance Boyfriend 5 Pocket Jean in Destroyed). Accessory wise, V.Hudg paired her studded black heels with a ton of bangles and a statement cross necklace (Femme Metale Jewelry's Old World Cross Pendant in Silver), in addition to her black Balenciaga bag and a large gold watch. What do you think of Vanessa's look... too cluttered or just right? Vanessa celebrated her 20th birthday yesterday with her main man Zac Efron, and reports claim that Z brought V a large bouquet of flowers and a present as he took her out for a celebratory lunch. How sweet! In other (more scandalous) news, fan photographs of Zac and Vanessa visiting a sex shop have hit the internet, most likely causing Disney PR people to work major overtime. Hey, they're not teens anymore- it happens!

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Oct 29 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. "High School Musical" cutie Vanessa Hudgens was spotted leaving her home in LA on October 29 and heading for LAX to catch a flight with beau Zac Efron to Mexico to promote their film. And it looks like all of this promoting paid off, the movie is #1 at the box office for the second week! To steal Vanessa casual-chic look, start with a turquoise top (Signorelli's Winged Tunic in Turquoise is super similar to Hudgens') and pair with black skinnies (like Hudson Jeans' Alex 5 Pocket Skinny Jean in Black) and a fringed black bag (Carla Mancini's Fringe Messenger Bag in Black oozes rocker cool). Vanessa then accessorized with a wristful of gold bangles (similar to Accessories & Beyond's Braided Cuff in Gold) and a charm necklace (check out Castaway Jewlery's Treasure Charm Necklace), and finished things off with grey boots, which I'm not totally loving with this look. They just look to big and slouchy, I think I'd like them better if they didn't have all of that extra leather at the bottom and were a tad sleeker. Just my two cents, though. What do you think- do the boots work with the 'fit? And while Vanessa makes it seem like she hates talking about her relationship with Zac, she sure seems to do it a lot! In a recent interview, Vanessa dished, "The second I met him I thought he was a really cool guy. It’s hard not to have chemistry with someone who is quite attractive." She continued, "We’re both supportive of each other, but we’re doing our own things, too. We have different projects we’re working on." Probably a good idea- couples that spend every single second together are bound to hit a few roadblocks!

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Oct 23 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. So are all of you "High School Musical" superfans out there running to your local multiplex to catch the latest installment, which hit the big screen today? I know that Vanessa Hudgens sure is hoping that you are! The teen queen was spotted leaving her house in LA for Warner Brothers Studios yesterday, October 23, looking pretty and polished. Vanessa started with a patterned top (like Cake Couture's Marrakech Shortsleeve Peasant Shirt) tucked into white denim (check out James Jeans' Tom 5 Pocket Straight Leg Jean in Aspen White), and accessorized with black heels, a fringed leather bag (Rough Roses' Soho Satchel in Black is similar), and a large cocktail ring (check out Rachel Leigh's Scripted Ring in Silver). She also toted along her silver Powerbook Pro for her day of errands. Vanessa recently filmed a segment for "The Ellen Degeneres Show" (the episode is set to air today, Friday , October 24), and dished about kissing her BF Zac Efron. When Ellen asked her, "He’s a good kisser, I assume?," Vanessa did her best to dodge the question, but Ellen wouldn't let her get away that easy! Ellen continued, "Well, you’ve got to say yes!," to which Vanessa eventually replied, "OK, yes, fine." Talk about dragging that one out of her!

Vanessa Hudgens seen on Oct 16 2008 in Los Angeles, CA. Vanessa Hudgens was spotted strolling around Los Angeles yesterday, October 16, before the big premiere of High School Musical 3 which she attended with her BF, Zac Efron. For her casual yet still impeccably put together daytime look, Vanessa started with a white frock (check out Gold Hawk's Floral Eyelet Dress in White, or Kushcush's Wonder Mini Dress in White for similar looks) and paired with exotic heels and a long gold necklace (similar to Mickey Lynn Designs' Sweet Dreams Gold Accent Necklace). Hudgens finished off her outfit with a long clutch (like Antoinette Lee Designs' Lua Python Embossed Clutch in White Sand) and an armful of gold bangles (I'm loving Accessories & Beyond's adorable 15 Hearts Bracelet in Gold). Very glam, V! While I'm sure Vanessa never expected the HSM phenomenon to get as big as it has, she is speaking out about how scary it is to have people SO obsessed with the movie. She says, "It has become crazy, just the fact that we have people following us around. We're girls with 40-year-old guys chasing us [and] stalking us all day," Hudgens said. "It's really weird. But I feel like it's something that comes with the territory. Unfortunately there is not much you can do about it." One of the pratfalls of fame!

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!

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!

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!

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!

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 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!

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?

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!

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!

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!

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 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!

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?

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 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.

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!

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!
