Vanessa Hudgens and husband Cole Tucker had a date night at Vanity Fair's Oscars 2025 party after welcoming their first baby together in 2024.
Oscars 2025: Vanessa Hudgens Walks First Red Carpet Since Giving Birth to Baby With Cole Tucker
Vanessa Hudgens is soarin', flyin' on Oscars night.
Eight months after welcoming her first baby with husband Cole Tucker, the High School Musical alum and the baseball player enjoyed a romantic date night at Vanity Fair's March 3 party celebrating the 2025 Academy Awards. (See all the Oscars arrivals here and click here for the complete list of winners.)
For her first red carpet appearance since becoming a mom, Vanessa donned a black, one-shoulder gown featuring feather embellishments and a high slit. She paired the glamorous look with matching platform heels and drop earrings.
Meanwhile, Cole coordinated with her monochromatic 'fit with an all-black suit.
The couple's outing comes one year after Vanessa announced her pregnancy at the 2024 Oscars. Then clad in a black, figure-hugging Vera Wang gown, Vanessa proudly showed off her baby bump while hosting ABC's The Oscars Red Carpet Show.
And after interviewing nominees, the Sucker Punch actress changed into a sheer, off-shoulder dress custom designed by Alberta Ferretti for that year's Vanity Fair after-party.
So, what has motherhood been like for Vanessa? For one, her personal style has evolved.
"It's so funny because I used to be so about dressing up and themes every moment I could get," she told E! News in November. "The older that I get, the more practical I get."
Vanessa continued, "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."

And with a newborn—whose name has not publicly revealed—at home, the 36-year-old explained of her new approach to fashion, "It really is about what works for you that day and having grace for yourself because it
will change."
