The former High School Musical star updated her fit-and-flare dress with a matching blazer, booties, and tights which had a sexy vine pattern scaling her legs.

The Sucker Punch star and her beau have been glued to each other's side since they started dating 14 months ago, with lavish public displays of affection left and right.
The pair managed to keep their lovey-dovey behavior on the back burner while taking in the Los Angeles Lakers vs New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden on Thursday.
Instead, Vanessa was seen clinging to Austin's arm with her head on his shoulder as she watched the players in action.
The actress' budding career seems to be right on track as well.
