While out with her sister Stella in West Hollywood on March 27, 2013, Vanessa Hudgens showcased a relaxed bohemian look centered on a floral cutout maxi dress and chunky Koolaburra platform clogs.
More than a decade later, the outfit remains a good example of how she combined height-boosting footwear with the easygoing style that became one of her signatures.

The outfit wasn’t without a minor wardrobe mishap, as the dress’s side zipper appeared partially undone during the outing.

This outfit was part of a broader bohemian style Vanessa Hudgens embraced throughout the early 2010s. Similar looks included her Koolaburra “Alexa” gladiator sandals paired with a breezy white dress, her Koolaburra “Becca” fringe boots styled with casual separates, and her printed maxi dress worn with wooden-platform wedges. Across these outfits, Vanessa frequently paired relaxed silhouettes with statement footwear that anchored the look.
Festival-inspired outfits followed the same formula. Her Coachella 2013 wardrobe featured flowing maxi dresses, layered accessories, and bohemian footwear, while her Anna Sui bell-bottom suit and Yves Saint Laurent platform Mary Janes showed how she adapted the aesthetic for fashion events. The Koolaburra “Starla” clogs fit naturally within a period when substantial footwear was a recurring element of her personal style.

Finished with a loose top bun and oversized sunglasses, the outfit stayed true to the laid-back aesthetic Vanessa favored at the time, while the chunky clogs provided the structure that tied everything together.

Vanessa’s Koolaburra “Starla” clogs reflect the popularity of platform clogs in the early 2010s. Their thick wooden soles provided height and stability, while the brown leather finish complemented the earthy tones of her floral dress.
The chestnut-brown version of Koolaburra’s “Starla” clog pairs smooth leather uppers with a substantial wooden platform and sculpted block heel, capturing the bohemian-meets-retro aesthetic that made platform sandals a staple of early-2010s celebrity street style
Although Koolaburra was later phased out by its parent company, Deckers Brands, and discontinued by the end of 2025, styles like the “Starla” remain a snapshot of the bohemian footwear trends that defined the era.
