For those who grew up with High School Musical and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series, the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars Party was the setting of an exciting reunion: Vanessa Hudgens and Olivia Rodrigo posing together on the red carpet. For those who may not be caught up in the HSM universe, Hudgens played the role of Gabriella Montez in the 2006 Disney Channel film, and in the 2019 TV series based on the film, Rodrigo played a high schooler named Nini, who auditions to play the role of Gabriella Montez at her school’s musical.
While their meeting was likely coincidental, the two actresses’ skin-tight black gowns made for a perfect match.. Rodrigo wore a leather mermaid style while Hudgens, who’s known to make a statement or two at the VF after party (last year she debuted her baby bump paired with a blingy-belly button piercing), rocked a thigh-high slit topped off with feathers on the shoulder.
We wonder what the two stars may have talked about, perhaps a third remake of High School Musical where they’re both in the series? But whatever it was, fans of Disney Channel were in for a heartfelt treat with this reunion.
