Pregnant Vanessa Hudgens shows off baby bump on Oscars red carpet
After months of speculation, Vanessa Hudgens publicly confirmed her pregnancy by showing off her "baby bump" on the Oscars red carpet.

Vanessa Hudgens stepped out at the Vanity Fair after-party following the 2024 Oscars on Sunday night.

The actress wore a look styled by Jason Bolden, a sheer black off-the-shoulder gown with a sweetheart neckline and attached cape by Alberta Ferretti. She paired the look with gold dangly earrings.

The couple got engaged in Paris in February 2023 after three years of dating. They announced the news of their engagement on social media at the time.

"YES. We couldn't be happier," they wrote in the caption of a joint Instagram post with a heart emoji.

Later that year, in December, they tied the knot in a private ceremony in Tulum, Mexico, with family and friends.
