Vanessa Hudgens [1] is staying devoted to a Halloween-influenced wardrobe [2] this October, stepping out for Thomas Ashbourne [3]'s margarita dinner in a black ribbed sweater dress punctuated with edgy accessories and flashy makeup. The 33-year-old "tick, tick...BOOM!" star completed the number, which came with a turtleneck halter, low back, and thigh slit, with statement-making green metallic knee-high boots from Alexandre Vauthier — the perfect match to her glittering slime-coloured eyeshadow.
As usual, Hudgens stacked on the jewellery, including chunky signet rings in sinister motifs from Verameat [4] and The Great Frog [5], as well as her Cartier Love bracelet and several hoop earrings. She pulled back her hair into a slick ponytail with a centre part and finished the look with sharply-pointed, shimmering charcoal nails and a matte, tawny nude lip.
Hudgens attended the 8 Oct. event at West Hollywood's San Vicente Bungalows as co-founder of the craft spirit brand, and her boyfriend Cole Tucker [6] and friends Rosario Dawson [7] and Ashley Benson — both of whom are also partners of the label [8] — were there to support. All-black appeared to be the dress code of the evening, with Benson in a bustier-style cutout Versace dress with signature baroque trim and gold hardware and Tucker in a tee and skinny jeans, capped off with multicolour Nike sneakers and tortoise Ray-Bans.
Hudgens, who is also a fan of Versace, as proven with her sharp entrance [9] at the spring 2023 runway show during Milan Fashion Week [10], recently opted for a playful Y2K ensemble [11] with twisted pigtails [12] at Thomas Ashbourne's Sept. 18 celebration in New York City. This came a few days after her arrival at Michael Kors in a cashmere catsuit [13] and the release of her Barbiecore-inspired Nylon cover [14].
