Vanessa Hudgens leads Oscars arrivals as ex Austin Butler prepares to hit red carpet | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV
Vanessa Hudgens, 34, was sure to turn heads as she arrived early at the 95th Academy Awards this evening.
The High School Musical star looked the mirror image of Audrey Hepburn in her strapless black and white gown, hitting the floor, highlighting her hourglass figure.
Not to distract from the show-stopping number, Vanessa wore her hair up in a top knot as she modelled several pieces of diamond jewellery.
One which Vanessa highlighted was her engagement ring from baseball player, Cole Tucker, 26.
This comes as her ex Austin Butler prepares to hit the red carpet as he finds out if he takes Best Actor for his 2022 Elvis biopic.
Vanessa Hudgens admitted she brought up the idea of playing Elvis to Austin Butler
Vanessa Hudgens spoke while co-hosting Live With Kelly and Ryan that she actually introduced the idea of playing Elvis to ex-Austin Butler. She said: “It’s so crazy because last December, we were driving along and we were listening to Christmas music, and then an Elvis Presley Christmas song came on. He had just dyed his hair dark — he’s a natural blonde — and I was looking at him and he was singing along and I was like, ‘Babe, you need to play Elvis, I don’t know how, but I’m serious. You need to play him’.” However, when Butler told the story, he said it was just a friend who had told him he should play Elvis as opposed to his girlfriend of nearly nine years.

Austin Butler did not say the same thing as his ex Vanessa Hudgens
Austin Butler, however, said he was told to play Elvis Presley by his friend, opposed to his girlfriend of nine years, Vanessa Hudgens. After some fan outrage, he did admit that “friend” was indeed his former flame. He said to the LA Times: “That’s right. I was with my partner at the time. [Hudgens and I had] been together for so long, she had this sort of clairvoyant moment and so I really, I owe her a lot for believing in me.”
