Vanessa Hudgens Serves Spicy Bodysuit Glam, Faces Online Criticism

Vanessa Hudgens proved that motherhood hasn’t dimmed her confidence or style one bit. The High School Musical star took to Instagram to flaunt her curves just weeks after welcoming baby number two, reminding fans that she’s still very much in her glam era.

While the post quickly gained traction, it also sparked mixed reactions, though not for reasons many initially expected.

The snap showed Hudgens rocking a skin-tight hot pink bodysuit with slim straps and an ultra-high cut. The daring leg openings sat high on her waist, drawing attention to her curves and accentuating her hips.

She styled her hair in a messy high bun, paired oversized glasses with gold hoop earrings, and kept the look effortlessly playful.

The image appeared candid, capturing Hudgens mid-laugh as she goofed around with friends and family.

In her caption, the actress reflected on how caring for a newborn kept her homebound during the holidays, humorously noting how her life had shifted from dancing on tables to being a mom of two.

The upload racked up an impressive 757,000 likes, 17,900 shares, 1,395 reposts, and nearly 3,000 comments. Many fans flooded the comment section with praise and holiday well-wishes.

“Oooh, she’s been baddd!!! Love ya, baby V,” one supporter wrote.

“You just look amazing,” added another.

However, the tone shifted as trolls began resurfacing controversy tied to influencer Bretman Rock’s comments about Hudgens. Critical remarks soon overtook the conversation.

“I love Bretman Rock, and you’re irrelevant,” one user typed.

“You’re not even proud of your roots…” another slammed.

“Disgusting,” added a third.

Although loyal fans attempted to defend Hudgens, calling out the insensitivity of attacking a postpartum mother, the harassment persisted, with insults continuing to pour in.

Earlier this year, Filipino American influencer Bretman Rock revisited an alleged encounter with Hudgens during a podcast appearance. He claimed the actress had snubbed him years ago at a Coachella-related event, openly admitting that he disliked her afterward.

Rock went further, stating that Hudgens “wasn’t even Mexican” and “didn’t like her own people.” His remarks echoed earlier criticism he made in 2023 when Hudgens was appointed the Philippines' Global Tourism Ambassador. At the time, he mocked her pronunciation of Palawan.

The podcast clip ignited backlash against Hudgens while she was still in the early months of postpartum recovery. The actress has not publicly addressed the claims, instead choosing to focus on her growing family.

In early November, she turned heads while promoting Caliwater, posing in a vibrant crochet ensemble and a sleek black two-piece.

One look featured a blue-and-green crochet jacket paired with sheer pants, layered over a bright lemon plunging bodysuit that highlighted her figure. In another frame, she rocked a black two-piece with a mock-neck crop top and matching shorts accented by a gold buckle. She topped the look with an oversized pink blazer, adding a playful pop of color.

The post earned over 49,100 likes and 174 comments as fans showered her with admiration.

Just weeks before announcing the birth of her child, Hudgens shared a serene photo celebrating her pregnancy. Standing on a balcony overlooking a city skyline, she gently cradled her baby bump as soft sunlight illuminated her skin.

The moment captured a calm, radiant side of the actress, beautiful, grounded, and visibly content as she prepared for motherhood once again.
