Zac Efron & Vanessa Hudgens — Oscars 2009

HSM sweethearts Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens keep close together on the red carpet as they attend the 2009 Oscars in Los Angeles on Sunday evening (February 22).

Vanessa, 20, looks elegant in a gorgeous Marchesa gown. Zac, 21, suited up in a Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo and accessorized with a vintage Rolex watch and Bally shoes.

The on-and-off-screen couple will join host Hugh Jackman, Mamma Mia! stars (and real-life couple) Amanda Seyfreid and Dominic Cooper, Beyonce and Anne Hathaway during the ceremony tonight for a special performance.

zanessa4everrr! @ 02/22/2009 at 7:03 pm

awww they look gorgeous!!

Just a thought @ 02/22/2009 at 7:03 pm

Beautiful couple

Thank you Jared.

zachary looks smoking hott. <3
and vanessa is absolutely stunning.
i love love love her dress. it’s gorgeous.
i can’t wait for them to perform. (:

they make such a cute couple and they look so great :) i can’t wait to see them perform and that interview was so funny

madeleine @ 02/22/2009 at 7:04 pm

Her dress is okay. I like the top half.
From the interview, I get the impression that she doesn’t really talk like this normally. The whole squeaky thing.

how old is vanessa? she looks like a little girl trying to dress classy and acting like a sexy woman that she is NOT. pityful.

And I won’t even talk about Leo’s wannabe by her side.

uhmm whats up with the dress…totally unflattering.

zac looks great though, as usual i thought he was emile hirsche at first!

uhm yeah and hunny dont even compare yourself to audrey hepburn….wow

real actors, please!!!

luv her!!!..she looks stunnin

They are so cute together.

ummm I’m really iffy with this dress. The hair do is nice, but the bottom half of her dress makes me cringe. I like the top part, but I don’t know.

She may not be the prettiest girl but she’s certainly sexy.

YEAH!!!!!!!

DOUBLE YEAH!!!!!

they look cute and V looks gorgeous.

TRIPLE YEAH!!!!

She looks gorgeous as always. I love how regal she stands.

she looks beautiful.
and Zac looks so hot.
he looks like a young leo decaprio with his hair slicked back!
ahah
Vanny looks beautiful.
just, the puffy bottom part of her dress, i don’t like so much.hahah
but they look so cute and fresh
:D

She looks so gorgeous

i LOVE her dress…it’s absolutely stunning! :)
They look GREAT together…it was so cute when Ryan asked her why they weren’t being interviewed together.
Aww, how cute! Zac+Vanessa=LOVE!

her dress is absolutley stunning.she looks so gorgeous and grown up.

Gorgeous. Both of them. I LOVE her dress; it’s perfect for her- a bit funky, but formal, and stunning lines. Love her hair and make-up too. She really looks like an ingenue…..it’s so nice to see some young people there.

Zanessa perfect couple ever! Love the dress too

They preform? as in music? Never would have guessed.

brangie love @ 02/22/2009 at 7:12 pm

how cute is the kids from slumdog milliaire just ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

These two are stunning! Love their old Hollywood flair! What an honor for them. Glad to see them enjoying it and staying humble. Wise choice to do separate interviews. They may be a couple, but their careers have to be theirs alone. Hope they continue to have an awesome night!!!!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder… and in my eyes these two are on FIYAH!!!!!

Yeah, Zanessa really has no business being there. They aren’t nominated. They only got far because of the Disney machine and haven’t really worked as hard as the nominees there. They need to crawl before they walk.

I think they both look great. I’m so excited for them!

Love everything about their look–Vanessa’s dress, her hair, Zac’s outfit and his hair.

i’m super excited for both of them. whoot whoot!!!!!

GORGEOUS! Thanks Jared!

woooow zac efron sxiiest men in the world!!!
hot!!

Ana LUiza @ 02/22/2009 at 7:22 pm

eu amo os dois!!
estão perfeitos!!
as roupas, maquiagem tudo!!
amo zac e vanessa!!♥

She looks cute. He looks like an idiot.

HONESTLY i love the dress on her. it’s figure flattering. she’s a gorgeous girl

they look amazing together!!!
I am so pumped for this performance!!!

why in the heck are THEY at the oscars? is high school music 29 up for an award or sumpin’-sumpin’? :)

love them both. they look great.

Zac looks like he belongs in a wax museum.

wow .they are so cute together!!!

hey dress is amazing

Ms. Marple @ 02/22/2009 at 7:30 pm

These two are a class act. I am so proud of them for staying grounded, for focusing on their careers and for keeping their private life private.

They look very classic. Just like old glamorous Hollywood.

Being jealous of someone does not stop them from succeeding.

handsome & gorgeous!!!!
they look soo cute together

lakers fan in boston @ 02/22/2009 at 7:34 pm

it was weird, on E they werent doing the interviews together
possible breakup….yes plz? =]
vanessa looks so adorable!!!
i dont like the front part of the dress, but other than that it’s def. looks good on her =]
ur just looking amazing vanessa!!!
love u!!!!

Very cute @ 02/22/2009 at 7:35 pm

Cute couple!! They both look fantastic and classy-thanks JJ!!!

I like the top part of her dress and i think her makeup and hair is done beautifully.. thank goodness she didn’t choose to leave it down like she always does.. but i’m not into the cut at the bottom part..

&& the color black is so safe.. this is the Oscars and people want to see extravagant beautiful dresses .
i’m a little disappointed with the dresses tonight everyone’s wearing red basically .

but in any case..she still looks pretty .
i can’t wait to see what the musical number is tonight.

O MG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! too cute luv them =].

They look amazing together!!! As usual she looks gorgeous, love the dress!!! <3

Zac’s hand is fully on her ass (pervert) and he’s smiling about it to.Anyway Vanessa looks BEAUTIFUL AND AMAZING.Luv her.

they look great she is always beautiful

vanessajonas @ 02/22/2009 at 7:43 pm

yeah they best couple.. minibrangelina:)

I love the mermaid cut of her dress…..it’s classic, elegant, and shows off her beautiful curves. She really looks beautiful and age appropriate. I think they look perfectly dressed, and are glowing!! Can’t wait to see their musical number!!

ihavenolife @ 02/22/2009 at 7:48 pm

her gown isn’t age-appropriate. what is with these young girls dressing older?

These two are adorable, both seperately and together. I can’t wait to see 17 Again, bandslam, and MAOW.

Hey go sox, I hope we didn’t end up wearing the same outfit tonoght. LOL!

aaai amo el vestido de Vanessa se ve demaciadamente hermosa ! tiene demaciado buen gusto . Ahora los vere en el TNT o red television de chile . Espero ver su baile y el gorro de Zac era demaciado sexy ♥ un bsito .
I KNOW YOU NOT SPEAK SPANISH BUT , WHEREVER BABY !

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the dress and the whole look of Vanessa. Zac looks great, as usual.

For you uninformed critics, Z/V were INVITED to perform and Zac to present an award. They totally deserve to be there. They both have movies that are about to be released, they’re not just about HSM. Geez, you’d think that you people who are on the internet day and night would be aware and keep up to date on the latest news on people in the entertainment industry.

Look in the mirror, you must hate yourself to be so critical of others who don’t deserve it.

Dress is ok not great. His hair slick back is awful. Can we see some better actors please.

THEY ARE SOOOOO PERECT FOER EACH OTHER!! VANESSA LOOKS STUNNING!!

They both look gorgeous! Love Vanessa’s dress.

LOS AMO, SON PERFECTOS… AGUANTE ZANESSA :)

BESOS………….

.

when are they performing on the show bc ui only wanna watch them perform?

when are they performing on the show bc ui only wanna watch them perform?

LOS AMO ZANESSA. SON LOS MEJORES…

OJALA QUE GANEN!!!

V-loyalist @ 02/22/2009 at 8:21 pm

Gorgeous couple! Love V’s dress, so glamorous and she is stunning!I can’t wait to see them on the center stage and show them what they got alongside with other notable talents, they are going to rock at the oscars, so woo hoo!

Karen marcell @ 02/22/2009 at 9:05 pm

soooo cute both!!!

zanessa rules!!

A Power Couple !!!!
Go Zanessa.

narf, good to see you, girl!! My sweats aren’t probably too red-carpet worthy!!

Yes, I do think her dress is age-appropriate…..it’s fun and flirty, like a 20 yr. old should wear, yet it’s a classic formal design. I couldn’t see that dress on anyone older!!!

Oh **** they’re coming up next…ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i love them. they both look amazing.
can’t wait to see their performance

Hey, V-Loyalist! I hope these pics make you smile!!

Alton's Mommy @ 02/22/2009 at 9:18 pm

cute cute .. but I was hoping the dress is in baby pink color hehehe

more HQ pics @ TeamHudgens. ^^

Can’t wait to see their performance.

V-loyalist @ 02/22/2009 at 9:23 pm

Hey go sox! Yup sure do enjoys every pics of them..I will report to work in a couple of hours very much inspired!!

frikn beautiful couple. I’m in love with Van’s dress. Angelina Jolie’s dress looks like Vanessa’s Palm Springs dress she wore back in ‘08

Yay, they looks amazing. Zac looks sooo hot. I must admit not a fan of the dress. I like the top part but the bottom half doesn’t work for me.

Gorgeous couple. Outstanding dress on Vanessa.

ZAc efrOOn is Perfect(LLLL)

Why does Vanessa always sport this kind of “messy”, curly updo? Every picture I see of her in an awards show or a social gathering she looks exactly the same. It might’ve been nice if she had gone for a more colorful dress, black is just too much. Still, she’s very pretty. :D

Zac Looks Soooooo CUTE.. :D

Nessa Is Rocking Her Dress

I Love The Dress Its Gorgeous

GABRIELA VIEIRA @ 02/22/2009 at 9:46 pm

ZAC EFRON HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT :9
VANESSA HUDGENS PEEEEEEEEEEEERFECT *-*

LOVE LOVE LOVE (L)

ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww zac suck

Awesome performance! It’s obvious that Hugh wanted to spotlight the musical and that he chose the 2 musicals of the year to make that happen! I bet that was an awesome site actually in the theatre. Great job!

I just realized how Zac’s practically feeling Vanessa up. One picture he looks like he’s staring down her shirt, the other he’s grapping her right under her chest, and then he’s got his hand on the butt. Anyways, these two are so in love it sickens me (in a good way). Wish them the best of luck in everything.

zanessalover33 @ 02/22/2009 at 10:14 pm

i already saw the performance it was amazing and zac efron and vanessa love soo perfect i love them !1

zanessahater @ 02/22/2009 at 10:16 pm

hardly perfect for eachother

swear down ima throw a party the day they breakup it will be like heaven shes so ugly and hes hot perfect match i think not

LONG NEVER ZANESSA :D

They look fine but are they even real actors

They look fine but are they even real actors

V-loyalist @ 02/22/2009 at 11:01 pm

As a fan, I am honored and thrilled to see them in this big event. Way to go Z & V, good job!

No they are “unreal” actors. They are out of this world GREAT!!!!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

just curious. did all the people who were going to take cyanide pills if the performed already take them? or were those idle threats?

Heheheheheheheheheheheh!!!!!!

btw, they did great. love that they sang something from hairspray and hsm3.

They were really lovely tonight. They looked stunning, perforned beautifully and just enough to have a presence, and Zac did a wonderful job presenting. Really, what wonderful memories for them. It was a “night to remember” for them.

NO TALENT DISNEY STARS at the Academy Awards

lol, I thought all these people were going to watch Barney tonight.

So, inspite of the disgust and choking, they actually tuned into the Oscars?!!!

You don’t say!!! Gee, mission accomplished for the producers.

LOL..look it’s the one hit wonders, still living off of High School Musical I see.

I think they look great. They are so lovely, she looks so pretty and he so handsome! I like the dress

How sad you are, #100.

They both did amazingly well in the time slot they had. I loved Van and Amanda singing Moulin Rouge. And Van was smoking!!! Hello cleavage and legs!

I enjoyed the performance. Gosh, I feel like such a proud mum. I can’t believe they got to be up on stage and perform in the freaking Oscars. And this year’s Oscars are so prestigious. I love that they experienced this together, their parents would be so proud.

they are so cute! they did great at the performance too! Thanks for the post!

ZANESSAFAN @ 02/23/2009 at 12:04 am

Cutest and best dressed couple!!! They look adorable. Love the dress on Vanessa she looks stunning….

Ms. Marple @ 02/23/2009 at 12:07 am

Love Mr. Efron’s hair. Very elegant. They remind me old Hollywood. Very classy.

hope they have tons of fun at the after party. :)

Holy shiznet! they look amazing Vanessa is drop dead gorgeaus and Zac so handsome V dress is beautiful her hair everything is done so well and the interview so cute!!

She looks cute but the dress is just ok. Zac looks greasy and so skinny. They just seem out of their element. I mean really a disney duo has no place at the Oscars. There were so many really great actors there these two just don’t fit the bill.

She went classic hollywood…she looks amazing.

Does she always sound like a moron when she talks? Theses two have no business being at the awards. Both look like they should be tucked in bed by mommy……someone needs to tell them they are not real actors……ok, I will!

WOW… Vanessa looks Amazing.

Awww stop hating guys. :)

I loved seeing Zanessa. They make the perfect couple. I do kind of agree that it’s weird/random that they were at the Oscars but it was just as weird to see Miley Cyrus there too. It’s not like they (Zanessa) invited themselves though. They were there for a reason. I thought Vanessa looked gorgeous as usual and so did Zac.

they look absolutely super gorgeous.. im so speechless <333
such a dream couple <3

i guess you can flash you ****** and still go to the Oscars

#128, lindsay
…………………………
You got that right bb, I wonder it took you so long. You can even be nominated, Kate Winslet was.

You got that right bb, I wonder it took you so long to get it. You can even be nominayed, Kate Winslet was.

They look amazing I LOVE ZANESSA

They have every right to be there, hence why they were asked to attend. You may not like that, but you better get used to the idea beacause they are here to stay. Hollywood needs new blood, new talent, and these two along with Rob, Amanda, Emile and Dev..plus many others, are it. I mean if you don’t care so much why comment, its pathetic. These two, and the cast of HSM, have made more of an impact of Pop culture than most of the actors present, HSM is a phenomenon, the world over. Deal with it.

Their performance was beautiful, Zac has an amazing voice and V is just perfection. I love how they held onto each other, and looked at each other the entire time, you could tell they were in awe and it was so cute to see. They are two very humble individuals. Beautiful inside and out. I’m so proud of them.

love the dress she looks great and so is zac love this couple

SIngingangel86 @ 02/23/2009 at 4:39 am

ZAC, YOU DESERVE BETTER!!!

I love the performance….way to go Zac and Van….I am so proud of you.

More pics after party at Vanity Fair at Team Hudgens Forum

they are really awesome..

they look so cute..

What is so weird/random about Zac and Vanessa being at the Oscars? Beyonce was there and she hasn’t done anymore movies—less in fact—than Z&V. Also, if you noticed the song was about the MUSICAL and that genre of movie. Z&V just got done with a musical that made more than a quarter of a million dollars! The certainly were worthy of this honor and Hugh Jackman nor Beyonce were making fun of it.

Lara and Sophia. @ 02/23/2009 at 8:31 am

I don’t like vanessa’s dress and hair at all

they both look so amazing !!!!uh…such a cute couple ..!
i love v’s dress !!
xoxo

V looks stunning as usual, their performance was amazing!!!!! They look so cute and happy in the pics!! :D

I wasn’t very pleased with what they chose to wear.
For her, she looks gorgeous but the dress is a little too much for her, they fishtail made her look shorter then she already is and the flowers are kind of tacky.
For him, he looks greasy and the tux is plain looking. A vest would have made it look a little better.
But yeah, otherwise they look very cute.

Why does he look like this? What a turn-off!

they r the cutest couple ever! they held hands at the end of the performance!

they r the cutest couple ever! they held hands at the end of the performance! love them a lot do u think they’ll b married?

Hey, I heard that Zac’s watch came from Wanna Buy A Watch? on Melrose. I’ve been in there and they have a great selection of vintage Rolex watches and the people who work there are pretty cool. If anyone wants to know, their website is http://www.Wannabuyawatch.com

they are the best couple ever!!! i love zanessa so much!!! whatever they look, whatever they dress, i love the couple so much.. wish them all the look, i want them to be forever. goodluck zanessa!!!!
