Vanessa Hudgens Makes Striking Red Carpet Return After Welcoming First Baby

Vanessa Hudgens was glowing in her first red-carpet appearance since giving birth to her and husband Cole Tucker's first child.

The High School Musical alum graced the annual Vanity Fair Oscar Party red carpet in a feathered black gown with a striking slit up the side next to Tucker in an all-black suit. The silver screen queen welcomed her first child into the world last summer, per People, and has yet to attend a red carpet event, until now!

Around this time last year, Hudgens announced that she and her baseball player beau were expecting their first child together, breaking the news on the Oscars red carpet. The adorable pair, who have yet to unveil the name and sex of their first child, took to the party in style, debuting big smiles as they posed arm-in-arm.

Hudgens revealed that she and Tucker welcomed their first child into the world via her Instagram Story on July 4, 2024, and that she and her baby were healthy despite their privacy being disrespected by paparazzi leaving the hospital.

"We're disappointed that our family's privacy was disrespected and exploited during this very special time due to greed of a long lens camera feeding the media. Despite all of that, mom, dad, and baby are happy and healthy."
