Vanessa Hudgens used Instagram to flaunt her new hair extensions on Tuesday.
The 36-year-old actress — who announced her second pregnancy in mid July — beamed in a brief reel shared with her 50 million followers.
She displayed her growing baby bump in a button-up white shirt while showing her hair transformation from mid-length locks to waist-length ringlets.
Vanessa captioned the post, 'Mermaid mommy mode activated,' while soundtracking it to The Mermaid Song by Honahlei.
The High School Musical sensation left the lower half of her blouse open to reveal her belly ring.
She teamed the top with white lounge pants, whose waistband she rolled under her midriff.


She tagged Chaviv Hair salon founder Violet Teriti and Vivian Terityan, who provided the hair pieces.
Vanessa's face was aglow in the clip, which she filmed outdoors in the sunshine.
The fashionista accessorized with silver jewelry that included stacked bangles and rings, which nicely complemented her metallic manicure.
She is awaiting the birth of her second child with husband Cole Tucker, whom she wed on December 2, 2023.
The filmmaker and MLB star celebrated their firstborn child's — whose name and gender have not been revealed publicly — first birthday on July 3.
They announced their latest baby news via social media on July 12.
In a joint Instagram post featuring professional photos, they captioned, 'Round two!!!!'
For the photo shoot, the California native was clad in a midriff-baring white top and matching long skirt.



Before falling for Cole, Vanessa dated actor Austin Butler.
She met her now-husband in November 2020, 11 months after breaking up with the Elvis star.
During a March 2024 appearance on the She Pivots podcast, Hudgens said, 'I feel my last breakup has really catapulted me to a very, very special place, obviously.'
'You pushed me to the right person,' she said of Austin, adding that their split is something she is 'so grateful for.'
Vanessa described seeing Cole at the altar as 'the most emotional moment of my life.'
'I literally keeled over when I saw Cole and had to take a big breath and had to force myself to keep walking because I could have dropped to the floor,' she told Vogue just days after the December 2, 2023 wedding.
