Vanessa Hudgens in Catherine Malandrino at BBC Radio

You guys… we don’t know quite how this happened, but Vanessa actually looks a little … dare we say it? Chic. That’s not a thing one normally says about Miss Vanessa, bless huh.

Vanessa Hudgens arrives at the BBC Radio One Breakfast show in London in a Catherine Malandrino top paired with high-waisted pants and Giuseppe Zanotti sandals.

But before you all get out your laser pointers to indicate the problematic parts, we didn’t say it was perfect. Chic can be imperfect. In fact, some would say that chic demands a little studied imperfection to it. But that’s not what’s happening here. No, she aimed for chic and mostly landed on it, but there are things worth quibbling about. For one, the proportions are odd. Those are awesome pants and an interesting top, but we don’t think they quite go together; especially since they’re not the same shade of white and that tends to make T Lo’s eyelids twitch. Also: the bag is kind of disappointing. She had an opportunity here to really punctuate the look with something interesting.

Still, the overall effect is impressive. And totally unexpected coming from her. Love the shoes.
