Vanessa Hudgens Shows Off Daring Style At Coachella 2022, Says She Feels 'Safe To Express' Herself

Vanessa Hudgens has once again proved why she's the reigning "queen of Coachella."

The "High School Musical" alum rocked a daring, see-through outfit for Coachella 2022, which returns after a two-year pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

In photos shared by the actress on Instagram Friday, the first day of the music event in Indio, California, Hudgens showed off the custom look by fashion designer Natalia Fedner that was handcrafted from more than 900 feet of linked chain.

Hudgens wore a cut-out swimsuit underneath and paired the look with combat boots, a straw hat and a Valentino handbag, E! News reported.

"Miss V here, reporting for duty," she wrote in the caption.

Hudgens' Coachella style received praise from her pals and followers, with a number of fans calling her "queen of Coachella" in the comments section.

"The Queen of Coachella is back," one fan commented.

"You always kill the Coachella fits!!" another supporter wrote.

"Just what we were waiting for. Go and slay Coachella," a third user added.

The "Princess Switch" star told E! News that she always enjoys dressing up for the annual music festival.

"It's just such a fun place to dress however you want, and I definitely do," she shared during an exclusive interview at Caliwater's booth inside Expo West. "My best friend [GG Magree] is playing, and she has never played Coachella before and it'll be the first person I'm super close to play. I'm excited to go and support her."

When asked about her "queen of Coachella" nickname, Hudgens said it was "adorable."

"It's really nice to be seen," she explained. "That's what we all want: to be seen and feel safe to express ourselves. Coachella has always been a place where I've felt safe to express myself."

The "Breaking Free" singer also shared one piece of advice for those attending the festival on how to stand out from the crowd.

"Just express yourself," Hudgens said. "What everyone's creativity looks like is different. I think just embrace and honor yourself and your taste and go from there. And honestly, it's a festival. You're going to be in the dirt so like don't go too crazy."

Coachella 2022 is held over two weekends at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California, from April 15 to April 17 and April 22 to April 24.
