Vanessa Hudgens Dazzles at Vanity Fair Oscar Party after Baby’s Birth

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Vanessa Hudgens made a stunning return to the red carpet at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party on March 2, alongside her husband, Cole Tucker. This appearance marks her first since the couple welcomed their first child in July 2024.

Hudgens, 36, celebrated the event in a one-shoulder black gown by Dolce & Gabbana, featuring feather details and a daring thigh-high slit. She complemented her glamorous outfit with chunky black platform heels, a chic updo, smoky eye makeup, and nude lipstick. Meanwhile, Tucker, 28, looked polished in an all-black suit.

The couple’s red carpet moment comes nearly a year after they publicly revealed their relationship on March 10, 2024, where Hudgens announced her pregnancy while wearing a form-fitting Vera Wang gown, showing off her baby bump.

In July 2024, the happy news of their newborn’s arrival was shared by Hudgens via her Instagram Stories. However, she expressed her disappointment regarding the media’s invasion of privacy as paparazzi captured images of the family leaving the hospital. “We’re disappointed that our family’s privacy was disrespected and exploited during this very special time,” she wrote, emphasizing that despite the situation, both parents and the baby were healthy.

Reflecting on her evolving style since becoming a mother, Hudgens opened up in November. “It’s so funny because I used to be so about dressing up and themes every moment I could get. The older that I get, the more practical I get. Life is chaotic and hectic. I don’t need to make it any more stressful than it needs to be. So, I keep things cozy,” she said.

As the couple enjoyed a date night at the star-studded bash, their radiant smiles showcased their happiness together, marking a significant milestone in both their personal and professional lives.
