It’s been a while since we last saw Vanessa Hudgens, and she definitely returned to the scene with a bang. Pictures of her drastic makeover for her role as a homeless pregnant teen on ‘Gimme Shelter’ practically got all the rumor mills spinning off their centers!
Vanessa had to put on weight, chop off her hair and don a more boyish look for the role, but now that they’ve wrapped up filming, Vanessa is back to being herself. The beautiful Filipina actress got a bit of work and waiting to do if she’s to return to her former long-haired svelte appearance, but she was back to her usual boho chic style almost instantly.
Here are the most recent shots of Vanessa Hudgens in Studio City, CA looking like nothing has changed:

Gaining weight and chopping off your hair is almost like a death sentence for an actress in Hollywood, but Vanessa Hudgens makes even those things and her petite height work for her!
