Vanessa Hudgens Chooses Minimalist Dolce & Gabbana Platform Sandals to Complement Feathery Gown at 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars Party
Vanessa Hudgens brought one of her signature aesthetics to the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by Radhika Jones at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on March 2. The actress showed off a feathery black gown from Dolce & Gabbana set off by a pair of minimalist black platform sandals.
Hudgens, who has hosted the Oscars red carpet in the past, went for a black gown featuring a thigh-high slit and a voluminous feather detailing in an asymmetrical diagonal design going from shoulder to bodice. The actress has showcased an edgy black ensemble on numerous occasions, so this outfit was an unsurprising choice for her. Her hair was parted to the side and styled back in a sleek look while an array of sparkling jewels emphasized her glamour.
As for her shoes, Hudgens was offered by a boost in height by a pair of platform sandals, what looked to be a pair of black leather version of Dolce & Gabbana’s Keira style.

With a relatively simple design, the shoes, which are enclosed in the back, featured a thin strap encircling the ankle and a wider strap reaching across the toes; the set was lifted up by a rounded platform in front and a soaring stiletto heel in back.
