In February 2011, the 1970s made a bold comeback, and Hollywood’s fashionistas quickly embraced the trend. Several fashion-forward celebrities were spotted in 70s-inspired jeans, dresses, and platforms.

At Anna Sui’s Fall 2011 presentation, Vanessa Hudgens stole the show, rocking a sheer, ruffled paisley-print bell-bottom suit.

She didn’t forget the little details with her Anna Sui Spring 2011 mix print bell-sleeve blouse and bell-bottom pants. Check out the braided hair, the heavy makeup in a 70s color palette, and the henna tattoo on her hand.

At least you know that when Vanessa Hudgens likes a fashion trend, she commits to it.

What do you think of Vanessa Hudgens’ full 70s look – RAD or JUST BAD?

This is one of those (rare) times when sky-high flared-out platforms or flatforms would’ve worked, but I guess Vanessa H. needed a versatile shoe to match her numerous outfit changes for show-hopping at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

With this 70s suit, Vanessa wore these timeless Yves Saint Laurent Tribute 105 Mary Jane platform pumps:

YSL’s Tribute line has proven time and again just how popular it is—this particular Mary Jane design is sold out everywhere.

Before fully embracing the 70s vibe at the Anna Sui show, Vanessa Hudgens attended the Marc Jacobs Fall 2011 presentation. She took a different approach to fashion week dressing there, balancing bold hues with sleek sophistication.

Decoding Vanessa Hudgens’ Marc Jacobs Jacket: Pale Pink or Dusty Rose?

Instead of celebrating Valentine’s Day the traditional way, newly single Vanessa Hudgens spent the day amidst the New York Fashion Week frenzy with BFF Britanny Snow.

It was Vanessa Hudgens’ first time attending Fashion Week, but our girl ensured she came prepared. Vanessa wore an Alice + Olivia sequined tank dress for the Alice + Olivia fashion show that day, and when she hopped over to watch the Marc Jacobs Fall 2011 presentation, she changed into Marc Jacobs, no less.

Here is Vanessa Hudgens’s Marc Jacobs jacket in a different color:

This certainly doesn’t look like it’s the same color as Vanessa’s jacket, but it’s challenging to be sure about that. As anyone who has shopped on the Internet would know, things tend to look different on the monitor and in real life.

Vanessa Hudgens isn’t the only star who has turned to Marc Jacobs for a standout fashion moment. From the runway to the red carpet, the designer’s bold and innovative styles have been embraced by countless celebrities.
