She may be the bigger star of the twosome, but Vanessa Hudgens gazed at Austin Butler as if he was a demigod.
The High School Musical actress and her new beau stepped out for a spot of lunch, barely looking at the sidewalk to check where she was walking.
Since bidding farewell to Zac Efron last December, the 22-year-old found herself a new specimen, with the pair becoming an item in September.
The look of love: Vanessa Hudgens only had eyes for boyfriend Austin Butler during a lunch date in Studio City
Clutching onto Butler’s arm as if she might not manage to walk without him, Hudgens drifted along on cloud nine in a pair of thigh-skimming shorts.
She teamed the shabby chic denim hotpants with knee-high boots, a baggy black and white sweater and a hippy headband.
Butler opted for an all-black ensemble, hiding his blonde locks beneath a beanie and finishing off the look with a leather jacket and jeans.
Looking up to him… literally: Hudgens hovered at Austin’s shoulder, averting her eyes up towards him as he spoke
No doubt his new girlfriend will elevate his status due to her global fame, although he is already relatively well known in his native US.
The 20-year-old once played Jamie Lynn Spears’ love interest on Zoey 101 and recently co-starred in the Disney movie Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure, alongside Vanessa’s best friend Ashley Tisdale.
Caffeine fix: Vanessa clutched a coffee while channelling her inner hippy with a headband
During their romantic stroll in
Burbank, California, the Sucker Punch star sipped on coffee as she
listened intently to her boyfriend.
Perhaps she will treat him to a trip to upcoming festival Coachella after raving about the music extravaganza on her blog.
As she posted a picture of the line-up
online – which includes impressive headliners Foo Fighter, No Doubt and
Radiohead – she wrote: ‘Omg. Omg. Omg. I could die. But I can’t cause I
have to experience this years Coachella!!!!! It’s going to be EPIC!!!!!
I can’t waittttttt.’
Loved up: Austin and Vanessa held hands throughout their walk, not wanting to let go of each other
