Vanessa Hudgens’ Chic Pregnancy Style
Vanessa Hudgens is soarin’, flyin’ with joy in new pics of her baby bump.
The High School Musical alum showed off her glow while attending a friend’s wedding in Italy with husband Cole Tucker, with whom she already shares a 14-month-old son.
In pictures shared to Instagram Sept. 15, Vanessa—who announced her pregnancy in July—dazzled in a wine-colored sequined dress as she smiled next to Cole, whose hand was placed on the side of her baby bump. She also posed with the bride, actress Alison Ingelstrom, who wrapped her arm around the Disney Channel star’s stomach.
Other snaps from the post included Vanessa enjoying the candlelit dinner reception, which she captioned, “Most magical Italian castle wedding ever? I think yes.”
While the 36-year-old prefers to keep her family life private—she has yet to reveal the name of her son—she has enjoyed providing updates on her current pregnancy. Indeed, she shared a pair of bikini pics featuring her baby bump in July and referred to herself as a “happy girl.”
Plus, she’s been vocal about her (sometimes hectic) experience as a mom.
“Balance? I don’t know her,” she told E! News last month. “Life is crazy and time is a really precious thing. I am a person of extremes—I'm all in doing one thing or another. So I guess that's balance, if you call extremes balance.”
Amid that push and pull, the Tick, Tick… Boom! actress admitted that being a mom to a toddler has encouraged her to “slow down and enjoy the moment.”
“It's so easy to focus on things in the future,” she continued. “Say, ‘I'll be happy when,’ or, ‘Things will be easier when.’ But that's not what's important. What's important is the moment that is in front of you.”
Read on to get a closer look at Vanessa and Cole’s life together.
