Vanessa Hudgens Shines at the Tony Awards in Naeem Khan Gown
Posted on June 10, 2015
Vanessa Hudgens looked fabulous at the 2015 Tony Awards held on Sunday, at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Vanessa is currently starring in the musical Gigi. She performed a musical number called "The Night They Invented Champagne" from Gigi during the awards, along with her Tony-nominated co-star Victoria Clark and Corey Cott.
Vanessa wore a stunning floral organza gown by Naeem Khan which featured a halter top and a full skirt with a bustle. She accessorized with diamonds by Norman Silverman. She wore her hair in an elegant updo with a crown plait.
Gigi is set in Paris at the turn of the century. The Lerner and Lowe musical was updated for modern audiences. Gigi tells the story of a young woman being groomed to be a courtesan. In the new version, Gigi must make a choice between the future mapped out for her as a mistress by her grandmother and aunt or find a new path. The show is playing at the Neil Simon Theater in New York City through June 21, 2015. The show will tour nationwide in 2016-2017.
High School Musical fans got a thrill during the show. Ashley Tisdale did the introduction to the Gigi musical number and called Vanessa her "best friend." Vanessa is fantastic in the role.
