Vanessa Hudgens shared a photo of a bold new hair look on October 3.
She posed with a bright orange shaggy wig and a dramatic teal blue eyeshadow.
“What can I say, I love to play,” she wrote in the caption.
Vanessa Hudgens just experimented with a very bold new look. The High School Musical actress took her love of all things Halloween to the next level with a dramatic transformation. In an October 3 Instagram post, the actress ditched her long brown hair in favor of a very bright, very short ‘do.

Hudgens recently welcomed her second child with husband Cole Tucker in November 2025. “Well…. I did it. Had another baby!!! What a wild ride labor is. Big shout out to all the moms.

In March 2026, Hudgens opened up about her struggle with postparum hair loss. “Oh cute you got bangs?” she wrote over a video showing her makeshift bangs. “No, I’m just postpartum.”
“Becoming a mother has been the hardest, most exhausting but also incredibly fulfilling and joyous chapter of my life. I couldn’t be more grateful for my little family,” she wrote under a photo to celebrate Mother’s Day. “Happy Mother’s Day to all who’ve done their time or are in the grind. The power mamas hold is truly supernatural and I admire us all 🥰❤️💪🏽.”
