Zanessa @ ‘HSM2′ London Premiere

On-and-off-screen couple Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens look like tween royalty at the European premiere of High School Musical 2 at London’s O2 Arena on Sunday.

Vanessa paired her stunning strapless floor-grazing gown by Trina Turk with silver Prada mules while Zac wore his pride for London with a navy jacket with a UK flag inner-lining (aka Union Jack jacket).

Zac, 19, recently told People he can’t remember the first time kissing Vanessa, 18.

“I truly didn’t realize that there was not a kiss. It never stuck out to me,” he says.

V recalls there was a kiss, but “on the cheek [and] that’s as far as we got.”

“You guys, your memories are failing you,” director/choreographer Kenny Ortega said Friday at a press conference in London to promote High School Musical 2. “I went to their parents and asked for permission. I went to Vanessa’s mom first, and then to Zac’s mom second and said, ‘Do you mind if I request a kiss in the event that we want to use it for the end of the film?’ And we did it. Then, we all sort of decided that this wasn’t about that.”

“You seemed to enjoy it though,” Ortega said to Zac, who blushed but didn’t deny the comment. (The kiss never made the cut for the first film.)

Did anyone else happen to notice that V is wearing what I think is Zac’s belt? There’s the initial E on it, it’s a bit too big, and is trimmed in gold instead of silver like her dress.

i think zanessa is just a marketing thing.
come on, do you really think they love each other?
as if zac would love a monkey like v.
both of them know that big part of HSM public wants them together. OF COURSE they’ll be together just to be more on the scene.

Oh and I think your jealous of thier love. If them being togother is for the public why dont they do things freely in pulic and talk about it in interviews you just cant face the fact that they really love each other. You have some nerve to think that Zac would treat Vanessa same as an animal. And them trying to keep thier love private is true love but I guess you dont know what true love is.
