Vanessa Hudgens @ Hot Hollywood Party 2007

Vanessa Hudgens (in French Connection) works the cameras at the Us Weekly Hot Hollywood Party at Hollywood hot spot Opera on Wednesday. The High School Musical star was honored as one of Us Weekly‘s Power Players.

Also according to Us, Vanessa arrived quietly through a back entrance where she excitedly asked, “who else is here?” before finding fellow teen-queen Miley Cyrus. She then quietly left shortly thereafter, bypassing all media inquiries.

This is the first public appearance for Vanessa since the nude photo scandal earlier this month. She also wore shoes by Christian Louboutin.
