In Los Angeles on August 26, 2016, Vanessa Hudgens stepped out after a Pilates class in a look that blurred the line between workout wear and everyday style—anchored not by sneakers, but by polished loafers.
Known for her instinctive approach to off-duty fashion, Hudgens elevated a classic athleisure base with unexpected footwear, proving that shoes—not trends—often determine whether an outfit feels purely functional or intentionally styled.

By swapping typical post-workout slides for structured suede loafers, she transformed a gym-ready ensemble into something suitable for errands, coffee, or casual meet-ups without sacrificing comfort.

Athleisure, Elevated: Vanessa Hudgens Grounds Her Sporty Look With Polished Loafers
The fitness buff wore a black sports bra with Volcom “Sunz Up” pants underneath a T by Alexander Wang scuba knit neoprene bomber jacket.
Vanessa accessorized her athleisure base with understated luxury—sleek sunglasses from The Row, the structured “Savannah” tote from Danielle Nicole, and a statement “Pavé Black Agate Arrowhead” necklace by Jacquie Aiche—but it was her choice of footwear that quietly elevated the look.
You know Vanessa doesn’t just intend to break a sweat in her outfit when she wears a $3,000 necklace with her sweatpants.
She finished the outfit with Louise et Cie’s classic “Faunia” suede loafers, a refined flat known for its almond-shaped toe and equestrian-inspired gold horsebit detailing, a silhouette often compared to heritage styles from houses like Gucci.
