Vanessa Hudgens was wearing a cute little black dress and shoes at the 2008 Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party held on the rooftop of the L.A. County Museum of Art on Thursday.

She was Teen Vogue’s cover girl for their September 2008 issue. With the release of High School Musical 3 and her dance album “Identified” her career is really taking off.

She has said that making High School Musical was very much like high school even though she traded her real educational experience to be part of Disney’s most famous class of kids:

“It’s sad,” she says. “This is our last time doing a movie together, and we love each other so much.” “We really grew up together. We can be free when we’re around one another, and the amount of fun we have is ridiculous.”
