Vanessa Hudgens in Alexandre Vauthier

This is the opposite from her white look -- it's sleek and fitted, and she looks smashing in it. I do think some slightly less demure jewelry would've worked? The strands are fine but imagine a big ol' disco bracelet and a funkier necklace.

This is fine, but she kept the leather jacket on for her Q&A, and so I can't sort out what purpose the beige cardigan serves. Other than to be distracting. Beige and mustard do not a tasty combo make.

This is a SUPER cute beaded, checked cocktail dress under this coat, but from the pics on her instagram, the dress is true white and the boots look more like cream. Which I don't get. Cream does not need to be here.

I'm all for unexpected bright pink in the depths of winter, but it does sorta look like she took a very large shirt and belted it and called it an outfit.

I downloaded this and thought, "It's too bad we don't know what's underneath her dramatic Spy Movie leather coat."

ASK AND YE SHALL RECEIVE. (Maybe look twice, download once next time, Self?) It's not as interesting as I would have hoped.

I don't love these alphabet soup dresses from Herrera, but she at least looks cute in it. That's half a victory.

The Latest in The Hudge

Good news, or bad news depending on how you view it: Vanessa Hudgens has toned things down since deploying her very lacy semi-"Like a Virgin" gown at the first Tick, Tick... Boom! screening. I've seen a variety of reactions, including "mediocre" and "Andrew Garfield can't carry it" to "it's great and Andrew Garfield is fantastic." What I'm getting at is, I hope this thing has legs because I'd LOVE to see Vanessa Hudgens put together a whole awards season run, wouldn't you? [Photos: Raymond Hall/GC Images, Alberto E.
