On May 3, 2011, former High School Musical co-stars Ashley Tisdale and Vanessa Hudgens were photographed arriving together at Los Angeles International Airport after a beach getaway in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Despite standing just 5ft 2½in (158.8 cm), Tisdale appeared noticeably taller than the 5ft 1in (154.9 cm) Hudgens, thanks to her chunky, studded Steve Madden clogs, while Hudgens kept her look grounded in flat Trove Tkees open-toe sandals.
One month earlier, Tisdale styled the same studded Steve Madden clogs with a relaxed denim shirt and white skinny jeans, proving their versatility during a casual date with Scott Speer.

The longtime friends leaned into relaxed, travel-ready style, each offering a distinct take on laid-back bohemian dressing. Hudgens stayed true to her free-spirited aesthetic in a ruffled Blue Life Bare Belly top paired with Goddis knit palazzo pants, finishing the look with layered necklaces and flat sandals for an effortless airport finish.
Tisdale, by contrast, played with proportion and texture, styling a Free People “Isn’t She” peasant maxi skirt with a cropped Harmonica knit sweater. This considered swap added structure and personality to an otherwise breezy silhouette.
Fresh off their Cabo getaway, Tisdale captured the mood in a tweet celebrating “beach, sun, and my best girlfriends”—a sentiment echoed in the sun-washed palettes, easy layers, and unfussy styling the duo brought to LAX.

While Hudgens’ bohemian style is well established, it was Tisdale’s look that stood out for its thoughtful contrast.
By pairing a flowing, hippie-inspired maxi skirt with a cropped knitted sweater, she struck a balance between relaxed and intentional—proving that unexpected proportions can make even the most casual travel outfit feel styled rather than thrown together.
