Vanessa Hudgens Reveals How Bianca Jagger and David Bowie Played a Role in Making Her SUISTUDIO Suit Collection

Suited up! Vanessa Hudgens sat down with Stylish on Thursday, October 4, to dish on her chic suit collaboration with SUISTUDIO, the sister brand to the acclaimed men’s brand Suit Supply. And she’s got some variety going on — the collection is made up of 4 suits, a button plunging tuxedo jumpsuit and accompanying blouses to hit all your needs. The 29-year-old, usually known for her bohemian, California-girl looks, dished on why she’s switching up her sense of fashion, what she loves about typical masculine-style clothing and more. While tons of It-girls are embracing the suit trend currently, Hudgens revealed that she looked to past style icons and trends to get inspiration for the line: “The 1970s and 1980s Bianca Jagger and David Bowie was my vision from the start,” she explained.

What Makes Her Suits Stand Out

Designing a collection has always been a dream of Hudgens’, so it’s no surprise that she wanted to make each of her pieces a must-have. “The suits are special because a finely tailored suit is a power-wardrobe staple. The woman wears the suit, not the other way around,” she said. “Each of my designs, when worn by different women with different attitudes, embodies the wearer and makes her feel so powerful in her own skin.”

Her Favorite Suit From the Line

Although each of the suits hold a special place in Hudgens’ heart, she admits her go-to suit is the white-colored one. “It’s so iconic and it reminds me of Bianca Jagger,” she explained. As for the ladies she thinks are nailing the suit trend currently? Bella and Gigi Hadid, Emma Watson, Selena Gomez, Jennifer Aniston, Amber Heard, Kristen Stewart, Evan Rachel Wood, Janelle Monae, Cara Delevingne, Hailey Baldwin, Kerry Washington, Kendall Jenner and Charlize Theron are at the top of her list.

Why She Loves Wearing Menswear Styled Clothing

“I’d worn suits a few times on the carpet because stylists had put me in them, but the first suit I wore myself was on my 29th birthday and it was a defining moment for me.,” she explained. “I stepped into this age feeling like a powerful woman through suiting and really wanted to share that feeling with women and channeled that in my collection.” Other borrowed-from-the-boys items she’s not afraid to try out? “I love oversized t-shirts. You’ll find me in the vintage men’s sections pulling out tons of rock tees or Halloween movie prints. I love being comfortable and always feel great repping a band or movie I love.”

How Her Style Changes With New Experiences and Events

Although Hudgens is usually seen in her classic boho style outfits, she explained how that section of clothing and accessories only takes up some of her closet space. “I’m growing up and I think as woman we are never just one thing... I will always be a bohemian, free-spirited person, but that’s only one side of who I am as a whole.” And with that variety comes tons of versatility in what she’ll wear. “My style varies from ultra feminine to masculine. I spend so much time in dresses on the carpet that for date night sometimes a rocker tee and a skirt or incorporating a slouchy jean jacket is exactly what I need to be my happiest most relaxed self.”

Why You Shouldn’t Be Afraid to Embrace the Suit Trend Yourself

When it comes to trying out new trends and encouraging others to, Hudgens is the go-to girl. “I find fashion to be the most fun medium of creative expression. Nothing is permanent and it’s so easy to try trend after trend and yet also have a signature style,” she told Stylish. When it comes to rocking a suit for the first time, she recommends going for something that’s tailored and made for a women’s body. “You’ll be surprised at how effortless they are and will end up easily making it part of your day-to-night wardrobe... People think suits can be intimidating but a great suit really is the most versatile outfit in your closet! I think my 3-piece suits for SUISTUDIO really have that masculine edge injected with feminine sex appeal and the vest is just so effortlessly sexy on a woman... It’s androgynous,” she dished.
