Vanessa Hudgens managed to steal the limelight from her Sucker Punch co-stars as she swept onto to the red carpet at the film's premiere last night.
The 22-year-old High School Musical star dazzled in a backless Jenny Packham dress at the Hollywood event held at the Grauman’s Chinese Theatre.
Dressed in the white gown, with intricate sequinned patterning, the brunette wore he hair in light curls as she posed with her co-stars, including Abbie Cornish.

Earlier in the day, Vanessa appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres show where she quashed rumours of romance with her Journey 2 co-star Josh Hutcherson.
'Can’t a girl have friends?' Vanessa said to Ellen when she asked if there was any truth in the rumours.
'Aww, I love him,' she added. 'We just did a movie together and we had the best time.'

Her co-star Abbie arrived to last night's event in a floor-length blue gown.
The Australian actress, 28, revealed in a recent interview that the hair extensions 'saved her life' while she was shooting the fighting movie.
The star described how she was shooting her new action flick when a fellow star came at her with a WW1 rifle with a steel bayonet on the end.


'I ducked it but the timing was off and this steel bayonet comes at my head it hits me on the side of the head,' she told Jimmy Kimmel on his talks show this week.

VIPs: Actress Malin Akerman also came along to the event, wearing a red dress, while Julia Roberts's niece Emma Roberts slipped into some leather trousers

'It was a really hard knock. I went down and when I came to and I looked in my hand and I had blood in my hand and blood running down my face,' she said.

It was later discovered that the metal grip holding her hair extension in place was what deflected the force of the blow.

'Your life was saved by hair extensions,' said host Jimmy Kimmel.

'It totally was,' she replied.

Sucker Punch also stars Emily Browning, Jena Malone and Jamie Chung.
It follows the story of a young girl Babydoll (Browning) who is institutionalised by her wicked stepfather.
Retreating to an alternative reality as a coping strategy, she envisions a plan which will help her escape from the facility.
Babydoll is determined to fight for her freedom and urges the other girls - outspoken Rocket (Malone), street-wise Blondie (Hudgens), loyal (Chung) and the reluctant Sweet Pea (Cornish) - to band together and try to escape their captors.

Sucker Punch opens in UK cinemas on April 1 and in the U.S. on March 25.
