Just because Vanessa Hudgens broke free of High School Musical doesn’t mean she can’t indulge in a bit of nostalgia.
On June 26, Hudgens shared a video from a recent visit to East High—the very real Salt Lake City school where the Disney Channel movie that made her famous was filmed. Not only did Hudgens play “Breaking Free” in the background of her post, but she went with an iconic Gabriella monologue for her caption, writing, “Do you remember in kindergarten how you’d meet a kid and know nothing about them, then 10 seconds later you’re playing like you’re best friends because you didn’t have to be anything but yourself?”
In the video, Hudgens posed outside East High wearing a black crop top, white sneakers, and a pair of purple Moschino athletic shorts that would earn Troy Bolton’s approval. Frankly, there’s something very DCOM about the look, which she topped off with a purple lip and a statement necklace. And I mean that in the best possible way.

Speaking of outfits that you’d see in a Disney Channel original movie or TV show, Vanessa Hudgens was photographed in Sherman Oaks, California, on June 25 wearing a look that was…very much a lot of look. In the photos, which you can view here, she wore the same necklace, another pair of athletic shorts, and a purple and blue bikini top with an oversized yellow button-up shirt. If that doesn’t sound like enough, she accessorized the ensemble with fuzzy beige slip-on shoes, a cool pair of sunglasses, and a fuzzy purple and pink bucket hat.
But back to High School Musical! Fans of Hudgens flooded the comments to wax poetic about the film. “Honestly what a time, high school musical still that movie 😭😭,” one user commented, while another wrote, “crying in nostalgia.”
However, one Instagram user said it best when they commented, “ONCE A WILDCAT, ALWAYS A WILDCAT ❤️.” Too true.
