Vanessa Hudgens smiled in gothic glamour in black as she was spotted at Oscar Media's Leila Shams after party last night as New York Fashion Week kicked off.
The High School Musical starlet has toughened up her look in a sheer black skirt on shorts and a leather corset top, paired with a low-hanging cross.
The 23-year-old actress is starred in upcoming movie Gimme Shelter, where she plays a homeless teenager.
"My character ends up at this pregnant, homeless teen shelter that's actually ran in New Jersey by a woman and I actually went and stayed in the shelter for two weeks before I started filming," Hudgens revealed in a new interview.
She actually cut her own hair, telling Rachel Ray that she and co-star Rosario Dawson "both look so messed up in this movie."
Hudgens' experience at the shelter could glam up her character even more.
"I lived there with all the girls, with all the kids, so I think that's really interesting because you find out so much more about yourself."
Vanessa Hudgens also shared her excitement for this weekend's Grammys.
"I'm really excited to see Adele come back," she said.
"She's so amazing. Her voice is just so stunning, so I'm excited to see her come back."
