Oscars 2025: Vanessa Hudgens Walks First Red Carpet Since Giving Birth to Baby With Cole Tucker

Vanessa Hudgens is soarin’, flyin’ on Oscars night.

Eight months after welcoming her first baby with husband Cole Tucker, the High School Musical alum and the baseball player enjoyed a romantic date night at Vanity Fair’s March 3 party celebrating the 2025 Academy Awards. (See all the Oscars arrivals here and click here for the complete list of winners.)

For her first red carpet appearance since becoming a mom, Vanessa donned a black, one-shoulder gown featuring feather embellishments and a high slit. She paired the glamorous look with matching platform heels and drop earrings.

Meanwhile, Cole coordinated with her monochromatic ‘fit with an all-black suit.

The couple’s outing comes one year after Vanessa announced her pregnancy at the 2024 Oscars. Then clad in a black, figure-hugging Vera Wang gown, Vanessa proudly showed off her baby bump while hosting ABC’s The Oscars Red Carpet Show.

And after interviewing nominees, the Sucker Punch actress changed into a sheer, off-shoulder dress custom designed by Alberta Ferretti for that year’s Vanity Fair after-party.
