Hudgens, who served as co-host of ABC's "Countdown to the Oscars: On the Red Carpet Live!," wore a stunning black gown as she cradled her baby bump. The gown is custom Vera Wang, which must've been especially meaningful for the actor as she wore a Vera Wang wedding dress when she wed Tucker in December 2023 in Tulum, Mexico. The "Tick, Tick...Boom!" star accessorized the look with Chopard diamonds.

"I clearly have a lot to be excited for," Hudgens said as she kicked off the Oscars pre-show coverage.
The "French Girl" star began dating Tucker, an MLB shortstop for the Seattle Mariners, in 2020 after the pair met on a Zoom meditation group.
"Zoom, you've got to love it," Hudgens told "Entertainment Tonight" in 2021. "He's just kind of perfect for me. I am [happy]. I really am."
The couple reportedly got engaged in late 2022 and Hudgens confirmed the news in February of 2o23.
"My mom got married at 25, so I always thought I was going to be married at 25. That didn't happen. But I'm in such an amazing, healthy relationship, so it doesn't matter," the 35-year-old told Shape in 2021. "What I've discovered is that we all have these ideas — and if they don't happen, then there's a reason why. Learning that has been extremely helpful to my growth. I'm very grateful every day for where I am in this moment of my life."
Hudgens previously dated "Elvis" star Austin Butler for over eight years.
This marks Hudgens' third year as the co-host of ABC's red carpet pre-show.
