Vanessa Hudgens gives glimpse of her baby bump in a bikini after announcing she's expecting second child
The 36-year-old expectant mother wore a brown string bikini in a mirror selfie, baring her burgeoning belly and her ample cleavage.
And the fashionista accessorized with a shell-embellished cowboy hat and chunky stone jewelry.
Vanessa, who is expecting her second child with 29-year-old husband Cole Tucker, is currently vacationing in Cabo San Lucas.
She captioned her carousel post, 'Happy girl made it to @nobuloscabos.'
Another image displayed the beaming beauty's silhouette as she posed in a long, sheer cover-up.
There was also a snapshot of the soon-to-be mom-of-two smiling from ear-to-ear in a sleeveless black bodysuit with white trim.
She teamed the comfortable, casual look with white socks and pulled her curly dark hair into a top knot bun.
A brief video snippet showed Vanessa dancing in front of a 'Nobu Residences' logo as she settled into vacation mode.
The filmmaker and her husband celebrated their firstborn child's — whose name and gender have not been revealed publicly — first birthday on July 3.
The duo, who tied the knot in 2023, announced their baby news on July 12.
In a joint Instagram post featuring professional photos, they captioned, 'Round two!!!!'
For the photo shoot, the California native was clad in a midriff-baring white top and matching long skirt.
Before falling in love with Cole, Vanessa dated actor Austin Butler.
She met her now-husband in November 2020, 11 months after breaking up with the Elvis star.
During a March 2024 appearance on the She Pivots podcast, Hudgens said, 'I feel my last breakup has really catapulted me to a very, very special place, obviously.'
'You pushed me to the right person,' she said of Austin, adding that their split is something she is 'so grateful for.'
Vanessa described seeing Cole at the altar as 'the most emotional moment of my life.'
'I literally keeled over when I saw Cole and had to take a big breath and had to force myself to keep walking because I could have dropped to the floor,' she told Vogue just days after the December 2, 2023 wedding.

‘Proud to call this woman my mother': artist wins National Indigenous fashion award for tribute to daughter Barkaa
When Cleonie Quayle's daughter became addicted to ice and was incarcerated, her grandchildren were placed in her care and she had to stop full-time work. 'I had to rethink my life,' she said. 'I've always made things, and I thought, 'Oh, well, I'll make jewellery.'' She started selling earrings at markets and eventually developed her own business. On Wednesday evening, the Malyangapa Barkindji woman won a National Indigenous fashion award (Nifa) for her first piece of clothing: a dress made from hundreds of gold-tipped jacaranda seed pods, inspired by the resilience and recovery journey of her daughter, Chloe – AKA rapper Barkaa. Quayle was one of many First Nations artists and designers celebrated as part of the awards, across seven categories including fashion, traditional adornment and textile design. Quayle won this year's wearable art award, with a $5,000 cash prize. Accepting the award with her daughter by her side, in a ceremony at Darwin's Deckchair cinema, Quayle was moved to tears – and then laughter. 'I'm really blessed to have such an amazing model to work with,' she said. Quayle's dress, which she estimated took three months of work – including gathering seed pods with her daughter from streets and car parks in western Sydney – was originally made for Barkaa's video clip We Up, an anthem of female empowerment. The night before the Nifa ceremony, the rapper wore a different version of her mum's piece – a top – while performing her hit King Brown on the runway of Darwin Aboriginal art fair's First Nations fashion showcase, Country to Couture. Quayle watched proudly from the front row. Sign up for our rundown of must-reads, pop culture and tips for the weekend, every Saturday morning Quayle said the jacaranda seed pod was chosen as a symbol of her daughter's journey. Incarcerated in Emu Plains correctional centre while she was pregnant, Chloe hoped to be admitted to a centre for mothers and babies called Jacaranda Cottage, but was denied; instead, Quayle took care of her grandson while her daughter was in custody. 'Chloe decided there and then that she wasn't going to go back to that life. She was going to be with her babies,' Quayle said in a prerecorded video played at the ceremony. 'So that's the symbolicness of the dress: it's jacaranda for Jacaranda Cottage, and it's gold, you know, to be about her empowerment. The blackness coz we're blackfellas.' Speaking to Guardian Australia after the ceremony, Barkaa said: 'I'm so proud to call this woman my mother. The reason why I got clean, and the reason why I found recovery and the reason why I believed in myself and thought I could create my own business, was because of my mother. 'She's won law awards and worked in law and family and criminology, but it's beautiful to see her come back to what she loves, and something that she puts her whole heart into and that makes her happy.' The Nifas, run by Indigenous Fashion Projects in conjunction with the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair, are now in their sixth year. Clair Helen Parker, winner of this year's fashion designer award, said it was a timely boost of confidence after more than a decade of hard work. 'Sometimes you're doing it for so long and you just feel like, 'Am I going anywhere?' Those self-doubt thoughts that come through. And so winning this award just kind of gave me that push and said, 'Oh, you are doing the right thing.'' Since graduating from Whitehouse Institute of Design in Sydney in 2016 as its first Aboriginal female graduate, the Tiwi woman has created gowns for the Logies and Oscars red carpets, presented collections at Australian fashion week, and in 2024 created her first online capsule.

'I do everything – I reply to all the emails, I pack everything, I do it all,' Parker said. 'Sometimes I almost felt like giving up, and now I'm going to put my award on the wall in front of my sewing [machine] and it's just gonna drive my motivation.' Parker draws design inspiration from Larrakia country (Darwin), where she was raised. 'When we had sad times, we'd always go out into the bush and spend time with family, and that would give us a lot – I guess it would help our mental health,' she said. 'So I kind of want to emulate that in my designs.'
