Cutout dresses have become one of the season’s greatest trends due to their lightweight feel and ventilated silhouette, crafted by labels like Cult Gaia, Wolford and Zimmermann. Hudgens completed the look with a sleek gold necklace, large hoop earrings, multiple rings, and two bracelets — one gold, one rose gold — by Cartier. Her dress retails for $495 (on sale from $825) on ModaOperandi.com.
