Vanessa Hudgens proved the power of a statement shoe while at Thomas Ashbourne’s Margalicious Margarita dinner this weekend.
The “Entergalactic” star struck a pose at the event on Saturday, wearing a black dress with a halter neckline. Giving the piece a slick finish was a bodycon fit, as well as a thigh-high slit. Hudgens completed her ensemble with shimmering green eyeshadow, as well as layered gold rings and earrings. The actress also took a moment to pose with fellow guests with Rosario Dawson and Paris Hilton — and even shared a reunion with her “Spring Breakers” co-star, Ashley Benson.

The “Tick, Tick…Boom!” actress completed her outfit with a punchy set of knee-high Alexandre Vauthier boots. Her $838 style (on sale from $1,495) featured metallic green faux leather uppers with pointed toes, creating a glitzy effect. Finishing the statement pair were thin stiletto heels totaling 3.75 inches in height, giving her outfit a burst of color and height.

When it comes to shoes, Hudgens’ preferred styles vary between sleek and sporty. The “Gimme Shelter” actress often wears chunky sneakers for off-duty looks and the gym, from brands including Naked Wolfe and Mercer Amsterdam. When hitting the red carpet, she usually wears pointed-toe pumps and platforms from Miu Miu, Manolo Blahnik, Brian Atwood and Stuart Weitzman. Hudgens also mixes affordable styles into her off-duty wardrobe, such as Tkees flip-flops, Crocs clogs and Adidas slides that all retail for under $50. She’s also appeared in Savage X Fenty’s Vol. 3 fashion show, as well as front rows for brands like Vera Wang, Carolina Herrera and Anna Sui during New York Fashion Week.
