Vanessa Hudgens, a perennial Oscar red carpet favorite, stole hearts last night with a reveal that went beyond her usual dazzling red carpet presence.
Hudgens, who co-hosted The Oscars Red Carpet Show with Julianne Hough, arrived radiating a different kind of glow. The 35-year-old actress and entrepreneur announced her pregnancy with her first child to the world by debuting a surprise baby bump in front of the cameras!
A master of red carpet statements, Hudgens is known for her bold and daring style choices — and this time was no different. The High School Musical actress donned a stunning black Vera Wang gown that perfectly accentuated her figure, paired with a glistening Chopard diamond necklace.
Hudgens completed her glam with a full face of Colourpop Cosmetics — created by celebrity makeup artist Tonya Brewer — including the brand’s new, not-yet-released So Elemental Palette, which launches on March 21.
When it was time to step out for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, the mama-to-be broke necks changing into a drop-dead gorgeous sheer Alberta Ferretti Resort 2024 dress — giving major goddess vibes.
Hudgens gently placed a hand on her midsection throughout the night, sending fans and reporters into a frenzy. While there was no *official* pregnancy statement, the subtle gesture spoke volumes, with Hudgens noting, “I clearly have a lot to be excited for.” Social media erupted with congratulatory messages and baby bump analyses flooding X and Instagram.
This news comes just months after Hudgens tied the knot with baseball player Cole Tucker in a romantic ceremony in Tulum, Mexico. The couple, who have officially been together since early 2021, have kept their relationship relatively private, making this red carpet reveal even more special.
Hudgens’ pregnancy news comes as a delightful surprise, especially considering she recently addressed the constant pregnancy speculation surrounding her. On the March 6 episode of the “She Pivots” podcast, she spoke out about shutting down rumors and emphasizing the importance of body positivity. “I’m sorry I don’t wear Spanx every day,” she stated, “and, like, am a real woman and have a real body.”
The actress, who has carved a successful career in both film and television, is now embarking on the exciting journey of motherhood — and fans are eager to see how she embraces this new chapter. With her signature style and infectious energy, there’s no doubt she’ll rock motherhood just as fiercely as she rocks the red carpet.
Congratulations to Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker!
