Vanessa Hudgens spent a day out and about in New York City in a stylish plaid dress over the weekend.

Hudgens wore a sleeveless, billowy checkered dress with simple flats for running errands. She went with very minimal makeup while wearing her hair pulled back in a low bun. She accessorized with a pendant necklace, a cream-colored purse and black shades.

Hudgens, 26, just finished her two-month run on Broadway in the musical Gigi, about a free-spirited teenager living in Paris at the turn of the 20th century as she becomes the love interest of a wealthy friend. On the last night of her run, Hudgens apparently made a flub as another actor accidently broke a glass vase in the middle of her scene. Luckily, the seasoned actress was able to quickly recover and play off the break with some help from her co-star Corey Cott to make it a funny rather than disastrous moment.

Off for the final bow. I will never forget the incredible experience that was @gigionbroadway. Miss it already.

The actress is next set to star in an upcoming horror comedy about a town where vampires, humans and zombies lived in peace until the arrival of extraterrestrials. Kitchen Sink is slated for release this September and will also star Ed Westwick, Joan Cusack and Denis Leary.

The A-line silhouette and v-back will give you a retro-glamorous look while still keeping you modern.
