Vanessa Hudgens was photographed with her boyfriend, Austin Butler, on April 18 while they were going to lunch. The two were back in Beverly Hills after spending the weekend in boho paradise at Coachella.

It seems Vanessa aimed to step away from expected daytime date looks. The actress looked more sultry than sweet in a short tribal-print dress, over-the-knee lace-up boots, and black thigh-high socks.

Judging by this outfit, Vanessa wanted to bring the spirit of Coachella home with her—perhaps to tide her over until weekend 2 of the festival.

What do you think of Vanessa’s outfit? We know that over-the-knee leather boots are not for everyone. But if you’re brave enough, we say go for it! These would look great tucked into leggings or skinny jeans.
Alright, we admit. We don’t like her ugly lace-up boots, but that’s purely a matter of personal opinion. What do you think? Is Vanessa looking hot or more like a hot mess?

On another note, we do love her pretty dress. It’s so swingy and easy on the eyes. We also love the print; it has that unique vintage feel. Are you crushing on it, too?
Vanessa is wearing Jeffrey Campbell for Free People “Joe” lace-up boots. Sadly, her black pair are sold out online, but you can check out the taupe and beige versions below:
