Stunning: Vanessa Hudgens slipped into a long white halterneck maxi dress with embroidered detail for a series of stunning photographs to promote her new movie Journey 2: The Mysterious Island


Since arriving in Hawaii last week, she has been spending time in the arms of her boyfriend Austin Butler.

But Vanessa Hudgens managed to pry herself away from her new beau to promote her new film Journey 2: The Mysterious Island over the weekend.

The 23-year-old slipped into a long white halterneck maxi dress with embroidered detail for a series of stunning photographs.


Of course the shoot had a distinct Hawaiian feel, with the movie filmed and based on the stunning island.

With barely any make-up on her flawless complexion, Vanessa is glowing in the snaps and wears her brunette locks out in a natural wave.

Staying with the tropical theme she accessorises with some coral stone earrings and a tropical purple orchid tucked behind her ear.

Perching on some trees in an idyllic setting close to the beach, she is the epitome of a beautiful island girl.

Vanessa is currently on the promotional trail for her action-adventure film, which is due to hit theatres in the US on Friday, February 10.

Journey 2: The Mysterious Island centres around a woman named Kailani (played by Hudgens) and her boyfriend on a mission to find his grandfather, who is thought to be missing on a mythical island.

It co-stars Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson who was brought in to replace Brendan Fraser, who starred in the last installment titled Journey to the Center of the Earth.

Taking a short break from promoting the film last week, Vanessa and boyfriend Butler haven't been able to keep their hands off each other as they frolicked in beautiful Maui.

Over the weekend the couple put on yet another public display of affection in the waters of the island.

With her bikini body on display in a tiny black patterned two piece, Vanessa was seen leaning in to hug and kiss her shirtless beau on Saturday evening.

The two tanned actors splashed around the water and watched the sun set after going kayaking together.

Vanessa and fellow Disney actor Austin, 20, who have been dating since last September, are clearly very much in the honeymoon period of their relationship.

It was the third straight day the love birds had frolicked in the surf and shared a steamy kiss in public.

Their affectionate displays have left onlookers with no doubt as to who has Vanessa 's heart now.

When Vanessa and Austin started dating last year, friends said at the time that it was 'nothing serious', but the pair now seem to be inseparable.

They holidayed in Miami last month, visited Disneyland in Anaheim, California, and spent Christmas and New Year's together too.

Austin, who recently co-starred in the movie Sharpay's Fabulous Adventure, alongside Vanessa's best friend Ashley Tisdale, is three years younger than Vanessa.

But despite the fact that Vanessa is now clearly dating Austin, she was still quizzed by an Australian interviewer last week about her relationship with ex-boyfriend Josh Hutcherson while promoting Journey 2: The Mysterious Island in Sydney.

A host asked: 'So how long have you been going on?', there was an awkward silence between the pair until Hutcherson, 19, said: 'We're not, we were at one point, but she broke my heart.'

'No, I'm just kidding, that was a while ago, we're really good friends now.'

She was promoting her latest film with her co-star Hutcherson and the two looked looked very comfortable in each others company.

The couple, who briefly dated while filming last year, appeared to still have some chemistry together as they posed in front of a hoard of photographers.

California Cool: Vanessa Hudgens appeared to have regained some of her old confidence as she left Mareka Organic Food in Studio City yesterday

Vanessa Hudgens has been quite the chameleon lately.

Switching from grungy gym bunny to sultry seductress at the VMAs and back again, there are clearly many sides to the Sucker Punch star.

And her latest look, channeling baggy chic in Studio City seems to indicate that the actress is feeling like some chill-out time.


Baggy chic: Vanessa's trousers were similar to those often favoured by Gwen Stephani


Wearing a long dark skirt and a fringed orange vest, Vanessa was obviously in the mood for something less constricting than the leggings which have been her item of choice recently.

She didn't even appear to be wearing a bra, but she managed to get away with the always-risky decision, even sporting a cool leather beaded necklace.

Vanessa wasn't wearing much makeup on under her huge sunnies, but the natural look suited the fresh faced star.


Getting healthy: Vanessa was grabbing something nutritious from Mareka Organic Food

She also accessoised with some chunky gold rings, and purple nail varnish to add a further splash of colour.

The 22 year old had popped into Mareka Organic Food with some friends to pick up a few nutritious bites.

The healthy choice was most likely part of her new slimming regime, which she has embarked on to lose the extra pounds she gained for her role in upcoming independent movie, Gimme Shelter.


Boho babe: Vanessa's laid back look was a far cry from her slick appearance at the VMAs last weekend


Getting back in shape: Vanessa's been taking yoga classes to return to her usual svelte figure

Vanessa has been combining a healthy diet with regular exercise to regain her usually svelte frame.

She has been spotted carting her yoga mat to class, and also went for a hike with her teenage sister Stella yesterday.

The actress appears to have regained some of her confidence after struggling with the short hair cut she had for Gimme Shelter.

New look: Vanessa Hudgens was yesterday spotted with a sleek black bob as she went shopping in Los Angeles

She stunned fans last month when she revealed she had hacked off her own hair for her role in upcoming movie Gimme Shelter.

Since then, Vanessa Hudgens has tried to get round her 'soccer mom' crop by sporting a series of different wigs.

Yesterday, the 22-year-old actress stepped out with a sleek black bob as she went shopping with her sister Stella in Los Angeles.


Ever-changing: Vanessa has been wearing wigs and hair extensions to disguise the 'soccer mom' crop she had for new movie Gimme Shelter


And High School Musical starlet Vanessa looked delighted with her new 'do, smiling for the cameras as she indulged in some retail therapy.

Wearing a grey tribal-print maxi dress and black hat, Vanessa teamed her outfit with several long beaded necklaces and black boots.

Deciding to have some fun with the paparazzi, Vanessa also turned her hand to photography, trying to snap the photographers with her own camera as she left the store.


I can do it too! Vanessa, who was accompanied by younger sister Stella, tried her hand at being a paparazzo


Earlier in the week, Vanessa was seen out and about with long black hair, after apparently donning a wig or temporary hair extensions to get around her crop.

The actress told Access Hollywood recently that she wasn't a fan of her movie look.

She said: 'Honestly, I kind of feel like a soccer mom, but we're going to let that go.

'There's nothing wrong with soccer moms, but I'm only 22! I miss my hair, believe me, I do, but there's nothing I can do about it.'

Smoking hot: Vanessa Hudgens is caught puffing on a cigarette as she and a friend cruise through Hollywood

She's one of Disney's poster girls and has crafted something of a wholesome image due to that role.

But Vanessa Hudgens appears to have a naughty habit that could tarnish that butter-wouldn't-melt image.

The 22-year-old was caught smoking during a drive through Hollywood - and tried to hide the evidence.


Busted: The actress soon ditched the offending cigarette before getting out the car


While cruising down La Cienega and Santa Monica, photographers caught the actress having a puff on a cigarette while in the passenger seat of a companion's car.

However, Vanessa was none too pleased at being caught having a cheeky puff and soon ditched the smoking evidence before jumping out of her car in a loose fitting see-through grey dress and knee-high boots.

It's not the first time Vanessa has seen her image tarnished.


Caught out: Vanessa appears to be rather peeved at being photographed while smoking


Vanessa, who poses with a pair of kittens on the cover of the new issue of America's Glamour magazine, also tells how she gets scared on the red carpet.

She added: 'When I was younger, I used to be super, super shy. I still find myself being scared of things.'

'Going to events gives me such anxiety,' she told the publication.

'I get hot flashes! I can't breathe, and I get claustrophobic. It's a very odd business. I do it because I love acting, but I don't know if I'll ever get used to it.'

Vanessa paired the pretty dress with a black jacket and black platform pumps to dress down the racy get up.

She also donned some tortoise shell sunglasses and a whole host of silver jewellery including a long pendant necklace, several bracelets and rings.

Her long wavy hair had been pinned up loosely at the nape of her neck making it appear shorter than usual.


Off she goes: Vanessa heads off to her next appointment



Vanessa has been spotted spending a lot of time with her Journey 2: The Mysterious Island co-star Josh Hutcherson recently.

While The High School Musical star has been keeping quiet about the blossoming relationship their actions last week spoke louder than words as they enjoyed a date at Pinz bowling alley.

Fresh: Vanessa Hudgens looks perky following an interview with Kiss FM in London, despite partying into the early hours the night before


Anyone who saw pictures of Vanessa Hudgens partying until the wee hours in London could be forgiven for thinking she'd be suffering the next day...

But they'd be wrong, because the U.S star was out and about in the capital city today, keeping to her scheduled appearances without the tiniest hint of a sore head.

What's more, the 22-year-old gave a lively interview to Kiss FM and posed outside her hotel looking stunning and fresh faced.


Vanessa, who rose to fame in the Disney hit High School Musical, is currently in London promoting her new movie Sucker Punch.

Following the British première earlier in the week, Vanessa took some time to enjoy the party scene here on Thursday night.

She started the night of at the Bocca Di Lupo restaurant in Soho, before heading to Chinawhite and then on to The Box - which has already got itself a reputation as 'Britain's seediest VIP club'.

The burlesque club features semi-naked dancers and sexually explicit cabaret acts.

Vanessa, who was dressed in a pair of print trousers and large cardigan, was also joined by some of her co-stars, Jenna Malone and Jamie Chung.

She teamed her look with lashings of red lip stick, some of which had smudged onto her teeth, a scarf and a pair of skyscraper heels.

However the next day she opted for a chameleon-like transformation into a more demure Vanessa.

Sporting a lavender dress with matching eye-shadow, the star looked dainty and chic as she made the rounds on her promotional tour.
