Vanessa Hudgens is bringing sneaker night to the fans.
After welcoming her first baby with husband MLB player Cole Tucker in July 2024, the High School Musical alum has noticed one major change to her body: her feet have grown an entire size.
“I feel like most of you know when you’re pregnant, your feet swell up,” she explained on her March 19 Instagram Stories per Us Weekly. “But what I didn’t know is that sometimes your feet stay swelled up and your foot grows an entire size.”
She continued, “That’s what happened to me.” As a result, the “Sneaker Night” singer explained she has to replace her “entire shoe closet.”
As for what’s happening to the shoes she has to say goodbye to? Well, the 36-year-old revealed, “I thought it could be kinda fun to share it with you guys,” before explaining that she had partnered with a platform called Placed to sell her shoes to fans through a virtual closet both directly and auction-style starting March 21.
“Some of my all-time favorite pairs will be available in a 48-hour auction,” she said. “So excited to see who ends up with my shoes!”
And while Vanessa and Cole, 28, have kept their little one out of the public eye since their arrival last summer, the actress has still given fans a glimpse into her life as a new mom.
In fact, last August, Vanessa shared a photo to her Instagram wearing a necklace that says “mama” with the caption, “Still here, just evolved.”

Many members of the HSM family commented on the photo, congratulating the new mom.
“MAMAAAAA,” her onscreen BFF Monique Coleman wrote in the comments, while director Kenny Ortega added, “Baby V is a Mama! Hallelujah.” And costar Bart Johnson gushed, “Love this so much.”
And before Vanessa welcomed her baby, her ex-boyfriend Zac Efron had nothing but praise as she and costar Ashley Tisdale—who welcomed her second baby, Emerson, with husband Christopher French, in September—prepared to expand their families.
"They're gonna be the best moms ever," Zac emphasized to Access Hollywood last June. "Those girls, are you kidding me? We're gonna have some fun family reunions coming up."
