Back in July 2013, while promoting The Frozen Ground, Vanessa Hudgens touched down in London for a BBC Radio 1 appearance—offering one of her most polished off-duty style moments of the early 2010s.

A Polished All-White Moment Elevated by Giuseppe Zanotti’s Plated-Heel Sandals
Embracing a crisp, summer-ready look, Vanessa turned heads in an all-white Catherine Malandrino ensemble.
She styled her outfit with a sleek top knot, a Givenchy “Nightingale” handbag, and minimalist tan sandals that subtly elevated her ensemble with their barely-there appeal—later revealed to be Giuseppe Zanotti plated-heel sandals.



At first glance, her sandals seemed effortlessly minimal—until a side-angle close-up revealed their striking secret.
