In October 2012, Vanessa Hudgens attended the premiere of The Carrie Diaries at the SVA Theatre in the Big Apple. She was there to support her boyfriend, Austin Butler, who plays the love interest in the new CW TV series.
Nessa was in her usual boho chic style, in a bell-sleeved belly-baring dress with a crochet detail down the front:

Vanessa seems to have bought the dress about one or two sizes too big. The sleeves are too long, the fabric is gaping at the back, and the skirt part looks like it would fall off if it weren’t for that crochet front.
We know Vanessa favors relaxed and slouchy silhouettes, but this dress would have benefited from a more tailored fit. The excess looseness feels unflattering—even her chic black ankle boots can’t quite save the overall look from appearing a bit undone.

Her dress is this ‘Moonlight’ dress by For Love & Lemons, a Los Angeles-based fashion brand known for its feminine, romantic, and adventurous designs.
