Vanessa Hudgens: BBQ Break

Vanessa Hudgens hides her new chopped locks underneath a beanie as she heads to a barbeque on Saturday (August 20) in Sherman Oaks, Calif.

Joined by BFF Laura New, the duo joined a group of friends for the summertime ritual.

Vanessa was also spotted heading to a car wash with a guy pal after lunching in Studio City on Sunday (August 21).

Van recently wrote a new post on her Journey 2: The Mysterious Island costar Luis Guzman on her official site.

“Awwwww Luis! Journey 2 was so much fun to film, but one of the highlights was working with Luis Guzman. An incredible actor and such a sweetie,” she wrote.

FYI: Van wore Blu Moon‘s Kimono Jacket and fave Summer Lovin’ Maxi Dress.
