The High School Musical star certainly knows how to work the latest must-haves to perfection. Separately, we've been loving each one of the trends she displays in this look: the motorcycle jacket, a high-contrast black and white dress, and statement jewelry. Vanessa's look perfectly embodies a hard and soft aesthetic -- she appears edgy, chic, and very put together. This outfit could work for practically any occasion, from heading to a movie premiere to hanging with her beau, Zac Efron. (Jump to get the look for less!)
We've found some pieces that will help you get her look for a lot less! Let's start with the jacket: we love (and own) this super smooth Dereka Fleece Jacket ($44.80, Forever 21), and think it's the most affordable way to get the motorcycle look, however if your set on a leather version, you can either go animal friendly "pleather" with the Moto Dragger Jacket ($37.90, also Forever 21) or the real deal via the Belted Leather Motorcycle Jacket ($298, Gap) or the INC International Concepts Leather Motorcycle Jacket with Knit Insets ($249, Macy's).
Next up is the black and white lightweight dress - the Abstract A-Line Dress ($38.99, Charlotte Russe) is pretty much a dead-ringer for Vanessa's, however if you don't want to be so literal in your imitation of her look, go for the Sophia Eugene Becca Pocket Dress in Black/White Carnations ($62, Revolve Clothing.com) or the Samburu Strapless Dress ($99.99 WhiteHouseBlackMarket).
And now, lets go for the jewelry--angular silver pieces seem to be Vanessa's jewelry choice du jour, so in order to achieve the look, try the Angie Gooderham Silver Coloured Large Bangle ($90.99, MyWardrobe.com) or the Kenneth Jay Lane Single Pyramid Cuff ($75, MaxandChloe.com). For earrings, we think the Elsa Perretti Teardrop Earrings ($250, Tiffany) mimic the shape of Vanessa's, but if you want to spend significantly less, try the Dean Harris for Target Sterling Silver Triple-Leaf Pod Drop Earrings ($34.99, Target). So now that you'll be able put together Vanessa Hugdens' stylish look, you may want to consider taking some voice lessons to sound like her too!
