In early 2012, Vanessa Hudgens was busy promoting her new movie, Journey 2. True to her belief that “Confidence is key. Sometimes, you need to look like you’re confident even when you’re not,” Vanessa turned heads at the Paris premiere with a bold outfit that channeled old Hollywood glamour, sparking debates about her unique styling choices.

In February 2012, Vanessa Hudgens attended a premiere in France, turning heads with her outfit choice, though it sparked some debate.

She channeled old Hollywood glamour in a champagne-colored, tea-length strapless dress from the Fall/Winter 2011 collection by Moschino, complemented by side-swept wavy locks, Samantha Wills “Amour Noir” earrings and a “Entrance at Sunset” ring.

However, her look was completed with skin-tone nylon stockings and pointy metallic pumps—a combination that left some questioning the overall styling.

What’s your take on this style choice? Do you think the combination of skin-tone stockings and gold metallic pumps works, or would the look have been better without the nylons? Perhaps black pumps would have complemented the stockings more effectively. Let us know your thoughts!

Vanessa Hudgens’ choice of metallic pumps underscores a broader trend in fashion, where shimmering footwear adds a touch of glamour to any ensemble. For those inspired by her look, exploring how to incorporate metallic shoes into your wardrobe can be both exciting and stylish.

By the way, Vanessa’s gold pointy shoes are from Giuseppe Zanotti. I couldn’t find the same style online, but we found some other new arrivals at Farfetch.
