Actress Vanessa Hudgens recently debuted a fresh new hairstyle on Instagram. Just days after welcoming her first child, Hudgens showed off a lighter, summer-inspired look.
In a short video posted to her account, the 31-year-old flashes a smile while Erika Badu's song "Hello" plays in the background. Her hair has visible layers cut in that frame her face in a flirty way. The shorter style now grazes her collarbone, cutting off several inches from her previous long locks.
While keeping details of her newborn private, Hudgens confirmed last week that she had welcomed a baby on July 3rd. Interestingly, that date also marks husband Cole Tucker's birthday. The couple met in 2020 through a Zoom meditation group and married last December.
With the layered 'do, fans see Hudgens embracing her new role as a mother. The bouncing layers imbue an upbeat vibe matching her joy as a parent. Even with major life changes like having a child, the actress appears to happily welcome smaller transformations too through a fresh haircut. She seems grateful for loved ones' support during this significant transition.
The High School Musical alum had previously worn her long hair down to her waist. Her new middle-parted, wavy style is a lighter, more playful look sure to be a trend of the season. In a short Instagram video, Hudgens admires her coral manicure and grinning face while showing off the shoulder-grazing trim.
By sharing her updated appearance, followers get a glimpse of Hudgens's enthusiasm for parenthood and new chapter. The flipped out pieces signal a breezy attitude following her daughter's highly anticipated arrival.
