Vanessa Hudgens dons a butterfly print midi dress as she drops off her beloved dog Darla at the vet

Vanessa Hudgens had her maternal side on display as she dropped off her beloved dog Darla at a veterinary office in Studio City on Saturday.

The 31-year-old High School Musical cradled her precious pooch in her arms before reluctantly handing her over to a friendly vet tech in the parking lot.

As she waited for Darla’s appointment to wrap up, Hudgens headed over to a nearby Alfred’s to grab a refreshing iced latte.

Vanessa slipped her refined curves into a red butterfly print midi dress that she paired with some brown mules.

Fastened around her neck were two blue pooka shell necklaces, a gold choker, and a chain necklace that featured a charm of her first initial.

She also had a pair of gold studs in her ears and a slew of gold bangles on her wrists.

Though she briefly removed it at the vet’s office, Vanessa showed off her bright white Prada bucket hat, while getting her caffeine fix at Alfred’s.

Earlier in the day, Vanessa flaunted her enviable bikini body, while taking a dip in her pool.

‘Vibeee,’ wrote Hudgens on her Instagram Story as she posed playfully with a coffee cup in hand.

She had on a bright pink two piece and few of her go-to jewelry pieces and a straw cowboy hat.

Vanessa gave fans a closer look at her mug by uploading a selfie to her Instagram Story with the caption: ‘Hi.’ 

She applied a filter to her self-portrait that superimposed a slew of multi-toned butterflies onto her face and hat.

Hudgens has been flooding her Instagram following with pictures from a recent trip she took to Turks and Caicos. 

‘Take me backkkkkk,’ wrote the actress on one of her most recent vacation throwbacks.

In the stunning portraits, Vanessa posed in a flattering white bikini, which boasted a black lace-up feature on the bra in her snaps. 

The popular vacation destination’s famous ‘white sand beaches’ and ‘crystal clear water’ proved to be the perfect backdrop for Hudgens’ snaps.
