NEW YORK — Hollywood’s up-and-coming power couple Zac Effron and Vanessa Hudgens attended US Magazine’s Annual Hot Hollywood Issue party on October 21st. While Zac sported his slick but down-to-earth look dressed in a Brooks Brothers blazer and shirt and Converse sneakers, Vanessa shone and sparkled in her sophisticated Kaufman Franco shift dress.

By the way, Zac Effron will not star in “Pirates of the Caribbean 4.” Effron had been rumored to trail Orlando Bloom as the young rogue under Captain Jack Sparrow in the sequel.

The bow as the popular styling element had been around for as long as fashion exists, but this year the bow is really popular among celebrity trendsetters. We’ve noticed lots of bows of different forms and sizes on the red carpet this year. Here are a few celebrities who think that the bow enhances their style!

NEW YORK — Purple is Vanessa Hudgens’ signature color. This time the “High School Musical” star spiced up her outfit with an amazing purple pumps. When asked to identify her pumps, Vanessa looked at her shoes for a second then shrugged and said that she did not know.
