Vanessa Hudgens is 5ft 1 (154.9 cm) tall and wears a shoe size 7 (US). In TeenMag, she mentioned that she’s fond of taller guys, jokingly adding that it’s not a challenge given her height of 5’3″ – a slight exaggeration of her actual height.
For comparison, the average height for an American woman is around 5ft 4in (162.5 cm), making Vanessa slightly shorter than the national average. She is 7 inches (17.8 cm) shorter than her former co-star Zac Efron, who is 5ft 8in (172.7 cm) tall.

Vanessa Anne Hudgens is 11 inches (28 cm) shorter than Austin Butler, who is 6ft 0 in (182.9 cm) tall. They dated for almost nine years, from 2011 to 2020.
Given her petite frame, she often opts for statement heels to balance out the height difference with her partners.
