Oscars 2025: Vanessa Hudgens Walks First Red Carpet Since Giving Birth to Baby With Cole Tucker
Vanessa Hudgens is sharing the start of something new.
Nearly a year after welcoming her baby with husband Cole Tucker, the High School Musical alum unveiled the first photos of her little one in a campaign for her new brand partnership with Cool Brands.
In the photos, Vanessa wore her hair in a messy updo and rocked a white button-down while holding onto the 11-month-old, whose name has not yet been revealed.
And while the 36-year-old looked into the camera, her child—donning an adorable tan onesie and sporting a thick head of light-brown hair—remained turned away from the lens, instead staring out at the gorgeous mountain vista behind them.
And that's not the only glimpse Vanessa gave at her kiddo, whose arrival was revealed back in July.
In a second photo, Vanessa wore a matching sweatsuit while posing with her tiny tot inside a nursery. In addition to offering a sweet smile, she put a comforting hand on top of her baby's while inside the room, which housed a baby blanket from her collection with the brand, called A Star Is Born.
And Vanessa isn't only modeling the A Star Is Born collection, which will include baby products such as toys, clothing, bath items and furniture. The Spring Breakers actress also helped design the forthcoming line.
“I can't wait to introduce A Star is Born to the world!" Vanessa shared in a May 23 press release. "My time as a new mom has been precious and given me so much insight that will make the brand invaluable to every mom from apparel and accessories to toys and bath products."
She added, "Music is especially important to my heart so we are even working on electronics and musical instruments that will help your little stars sing with joy."

Prior to debuting her baby's pics, Vanessa—who tied the knot with Cole in December 2023—has kept her child mostly out of the spotlight. However, the actress has provided insight into how motherhood has changed her—particularly when it comes to her personal style.
"The older that I get, the more practical I get," Vanessa told E! News five months after welcoming her son. "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."

She added, "It really is about what works for you that day and having grace for yourself because it will change."
