Vanessa Hudgens Goes ’90s Bold in Cow-Print Denim & Naked Wolfe Platform Sneakers

In February 2022, Vanessa Hudgens took to the streets of Los Angeles for a promotional “store crawl” to support Caliwater, the cactus water brand she co-founded with actor Oliver Trevena.

The duo made surprise appearances at local staples including Bristol Farms, Erewhon, BevMo!, Earthbar, and Sunlife Organics to sign cans for unsuspecting fans.

For the outing, Hudgens leaned into a bold, ’90s-inspired aesthetic that prioritized texture and color.

She paired a vibrant lime green ensemble with eccentric cow-print denim, creating a high-contrast street-style look that balanced casual comfort with editorial flair.

Showcasing her rock-hard abs, Vanessa went braless beneath a $42 lime-green crop top with spaghetti straps and a low-cut square neckline from contemporary women’s RTW fashion label Resa.

She paired the tiny number with Glassons cow-print high-rise straight-leg jeans and was later seen covering up with a $72 Resa “Drew” cropped cardigan in coordinating lime.

Glamming up for the “Caliwater World Tour,” the Tick, Tick… Boom! star styled her brunette tresses in luscious curls that fell over her shoulders. She finished the look with a shiny nude lip, bold brows, and sharp winged eyeliner.

She also sported leopard-print nails in black and yellow and shielded her eyes with a pair of tortoiseshell sunglasses.

Not one to skimp on accessories, the American singer-actress styled her already eye-catching outfit with a $260 Mudd Pearl “Just a Pirl” necklace, several statement rings, and a Cartier Love bracelet.

How Did Vanessa Hudgens and Oliver Trevena Become Owners of Caliwater?

Caliwater debuted in 2014 and was originally founded by Melissa Reed and Matt McKee. Oliver Trevena was an early investor and small equity owner of the beverage brand before he purchased it from McKee.

Speaking to Bevnet, Vanessa said they first thought of the cactus water idea when they ordered prickly pear margaritas during a trip to Mexico.

She “became obsessed” with the flavor, and with Oliver’s involvement with Caliwater, she decided to join the company.

“Anyone who knows me knows I am terrible at drinking water. I am always dehydrated; it is my biggest downfall. And Caliwater—literally I call it my candy water because it’s so delicious,” she explained.

The two had new visions for the brand, including new formulations and flavors, and an upgrade from Tetra Pak carton packaging to slim 12-ounce cans.

They relaunched Caliwater in May 2021 with two flavors: Organic Wild Prickly Pear and Organic Wild Prickly Pear with Ginger & Lime.
