Vanessa Hudgens was definitely the star of the night once she stepped on the red carpet of the LA premiere of her movie “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.

The 23-year-old actress wore a strapless, golden yellow Maria Lucia Hohan’s silk “Helga” gown, which looked amazing with her olive skin. The dress featured flesh-toned fabric on the back that made it look like a backless outfit. Vanessa finished off her look with animal-print double platform Giuseppe Zanotti pumps, gold statement earrings and bangles, as well as Stark gold-trimmed black clutch with tiger-head closure detail.

Rocking the event with soft curls, Vanessa Hudgens also chose the perfect makeup to fit the jungle-themed premiere. Her smokey eyes (complete with long lashes, dark eye shadow and black liner for both upper and lower lids) gave a stunning contrast to her yellow gown. She completed the look with matching nude lipstick and blush.

Ashley Tisdale was in full support of her friend Vanessa Hudgens at the LA premiere of “Journey 2: The Mysterious Island” at The Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.

The young star wore a Nightcap asymmetrical scalloped lace mini-dress (from the Resort 2012 collection). This body-hugging dress comes in emerald green and blue varieties, but Ashley Tisdale opted for the bright berry version. She completed her look with nude Yves Saint Laurent suede “Tribtoo” pumps, chained black mini bag, a gold watch and aqua jewelry.

Although Ashley made the look exciting because she showed off hair with new color and a vibrant sexy dress, the shoes would’ve been better with color. Aside from that, we think Tisdale looked amazing in the outfit.
