Vanessa Hudgens is relishing every moment of her pregnancy journey. Recently, she delighted fans by sharing a mirror selfie, dressed in a stunning off-the-shoulder brown dress that accentuated her growing bump. With playful duck lips, the actress radiated joy as she embraced her changing figure.
Hudgens made a grand appearance at the 2024 Oscars red carpet, proudly flaunting her baby bump. Reflecting on the journey, she opened up about a recent encounter where public opinion overstepped boundaries. Speaking on the She Pivots podcast, the Bad Boys franchise star recounted a moment where assumptions about her body took center stage.
“I literally just had a run-in with the public taking control over their opinion of me in a way that was disrespectful,” she shared. “I went out on my bachelorette party in October and I posted video of me, and there are all these comments that are like, ‘Oh my god, you’re pregnant.'”
