Vanessa Hudgens Celebrates Her Engagement in a Bridal Slip Dress

Vanessa Hudgens [1] is basking in post-engagement bliss. In honour of Valentine's Day on Feb. 14, the actor offered a glimpse into her engagement festivities on Instagram. Sharing a photo with fiancé and MLB player Cole Tucker [2] against a backdrop of gold "Mr & Mrs" balloons, she wrote, "Real magnetic love is out there. What a journey it was to get here but so worth it to get to my forever." Though it's unclear when the party took place, the two reportedly got engaged [3] back in December 2022 during a trip to Paris.

The bride-to-be celebrated their upcoming nuptials in a sleek, slip minidress in white, accessorising with large gold hoops and her timeless, oval-cut engagement ring [4]. Tucker coordinated in neutral colours, wearing a white shirt with a tan-coloured jacket and corduroys. Hudgens smiled from ear to ear as the athlete gave her a sweet kiss.

At the year-end proposal, which the pair [5] recently confirmed on Instagram, the two wore matching black outfits. Hudgens wore a black leather coat with a fur trim as she showed off her classic sparkler, estimated to be around three carats. The couple started dating after initially meeting in a Zoom meditation group at the end of 2020.

While the newly-engaged actor hasn't publicly revealed any details of a wedding, it's possible she has a designer in mind for her bridal looks. Bridal designer Galia Lahav [6] congratulated Hudgens in the comments of her recent Instagram, adding quite the secretive emoji with a hand covering its mouth. Moschino's creative director Jeremy Scott also previously commented on her initial engagement post, "SKETCHING THE DRESS NOW !!!" Perhaps her minimalist choice for her engagement celebration gives us an idea of the wedding outfits to come.
