Internet declares Vanessa Hudgens 'looks beautiful' as actress debuts baby bump on Oscars 2024 red carpet

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Vanessa Hudgens is not one to back down from an incredible red carpet appearance, and the 2024 Oscars were no exception.

The 'High School Musical' alum, 35, revealed she is expecting her first child with husband Cole Tucker—while co-hosting ABC's 'The Oscars Red Carpet Show' with Julianne Hough.

Hudgens made her baby bump debut in a second-skin black turtleneck evening gown at the 96th Academy Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, March 10, paired with an abundance of Chopard diamonds, per PEOPLE.

According to Vogue, Hudgens wore a black, body-hugging, turtleneck gown by Vera Wang to highlight her physique elegantly.

The couture ensemble was paired with Chopard diamonds along with a radiant grin while the actress walked the red carpet ahead of the event and received congratulations on her pregnancy.

Hudgens chose Vera Wang for her special red carpet pregnancy debut moment, which makes sense considering that she and her stylist Jason Bolden collaborated closely with the designer on her wedding gown.

Hudgens completed her look with an exquisite Chopard necklace set in 18-ct white gold with a 10.06-ct pear-shaped yellow diamond and 29.88 carats of diamonds; paired with diamond rings and earrings from the Haute Joaillerie Collection of the jeweler, per PEOPLE.

Hudgens' hosting gig and pregnancy announcement came only three months after marrying baseball player Cole Tucker in Mexico.

Hudgens boasted in a conversation with Vogue at the time that the actress and the athlete, 27, exchanged vows at the Azulik City of Arts, a museum "45 minutes into the jungle," on December 2, 2023.

Hudgens chose a Vera Wang outfit—a light white, chartreuse bias-cut cowl neck slip—for the big day, which she described to Vogue as "sleek, modern, and sexy."

Vanessa told Vogue at the time, "Vera’s been an amazing friend and supporter of mine. I’ve always felt so confident and sexy and feminine whenever I’m in her clothes."

"And so, I was like ‘You know, that’s the vibe . . . that’s what I want to be feeling like for my wedding day. '"
