Have you ever done this? Buy an article of clothing and wear it right out of the store?
In April 2012, Vanessa Hudgens did that when shopping with Austin Butler at the Planet Blue boutique in Beverly Hills. She arrived in a Lauren Moshi gray sweater and black velvet pants—and left in a breezy, tribal-print silk sundress.

The petite actress also came out lugging many shopping bags, presumably containing her outfits of choice for the weekend’s Coachella music festival.

Vanessa Hudgens Elevates Her Look (Literally) With Boho Fringe Boots
Standing at just 5ft 1 (154.9 cm), Vanessa Hudgens looked especially petite next to her 6ft 0 (182.9 cm) boyfriend, Austin Butler—but her Kettle Black Koolaburra tall fringe boots, while flat, perfectly complemented her laid-back, boho-chic outfit.
On April 11, 2012, Vanessa Hudgens was seen leaving Planet Blue with Austin Butler wearing Blu Moon The Exile dress in tribal print, Kettle Black Koolaburra tall fringe boots, and accessorized with a Spell Coyote Heishi bead necklace, Spell Pocahontas Princess necklace, Spell hand carved bull skull ring, and a Sabrina Tach shredded suede bucket bag (Credit: WENN)
Planet Blue recently listed the exact dress Vanessa Hudgens picked up—a boho-chic ‘Exile’ dress from Blu Moon, one of Vanessa’s favorite clothing brands.
Blu Moon ‘Exile’ Dress, $123.00
Vanessa took advantage of one of the perks of being a celebrity: She got to buy and wear this dress before anyone else. Heck, with all the publicity she’s given Blu Moon, she most likely even got this dress for free.
Vanessa Hudgens isn’t the only star stepping out in Koolaburra. Known for its laid-back, bohemian aesthetic, Koolaburra is a privately held American company founded in 1991 and based in Santa Barbara, California.
Specializing in sheepskin footwear, the brand originally manufactured its products in Australia, Spain, Portugal, and China, but now primarily produces in Vietnam. As part of the Deckers Outdoor Corporation—also home to UGG—Koolaburra continues to attract a loyal celebrity following.
