As one of the cover girls of their latest issue, Vanessa Hudgens attended Nylon Magazine’s 12th Anniversary Issue Party held at Tru Hollywood last Thursday.

The Filipino-American singer/actress was joined by her other Sucker Punch female co-stars, including Jamie Chung, but it was Vanessa who stood out for us among them in a “we’re not quite sure if it’s good or bad yet” way.

Why? Well, it’s because of Vanessa’s footwear fashion foible (try saying that five times fast!).
The 22-year-old actress was lookin’ very much like her lovely boho-chic self in a slinky white Zac Posen dress topped off with a loose white cardigan, but her look suddenly became confusing when we got to her shoes.

Yep, those are glittery black nylon socks she’s wearing with her Pollini Spring 2011 t-strap sandals. Straight-up socks with sandals.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m really actually a fan of wearing socks with sandals, but for some reason, the style is not translating so well on Vanessa Hudgens here.
I think this would’ve worked better if Vanessa’s clothes had color or prints and not just a stark black-and-white contrast. Either way, the socks with sandals style can look great as part of street fashion, but I don’t think it’s ready yet for the red carpet.
What’s your opinion on Vanessa Hudgens’s socks with sandals look – HOT or NOT?
I looked for a bigger picture of Vanessa Hudgens’s shoes, and not only did I find this close-up, but I think I also found a good reason why she’s wearing socks:

Maybe she wanted to cover up that painful-looking wound on her leg? Vanessa’s socks aren’t long enough, but maybe they just fell down as the night wore on.
I also just want to add that I’m guessing she got that wound from a motorcycle burn (I had one exactly like it and on the same part of the leg myself). I wonder if Vanessa has been riding motorcycles lately….? I can hear the rumor mills starting to turn.
Vanessa Hudgens’s shoes are these Pollini t-strap sandals:
Famed shoe designer Nicholas Kirkwood, who had just been appointed as Creative Director for Pollini, enlisted the help of 5 other designers to create the Pollini Spring/Summer 2011 line.
This particular sandal is a collaboration between Pollini/Kirkwood and Preen. Like Preen’s aesthetics, this sandal is minimalistic, spliced with modern touches.
