California Cool: Vanessa Hudgens appeared to have regained some of her old confidence as she left Mareka Organic Food in Studio City yesterday



Vanessa Hudgens has been quite the chameleon lately.



Switching from grungy gym bunny to sultry seductress at the VMAs and back again, there are clearly many sides to the Sucker Punch star.



And her latest look, channeling baggy chic in Studio City seems to indicate that the actress is feeling like some chill-out time.





Baggy chic: Vanessa's trousers were similar to those often favoured by Gwen Stephani





Wearing a long dark skirt and a fringed orange vest, Vanessa was obviously in the mood for something less constricting than the leggings which have been her item of choice recently.



She didn't even appear to be wearing a bra, but she managed to get away with the always-risky decision, even sporting a cool leather beaded necklace.



Vanessa wasn't wearing much makeup on under her huge sunnies, but the natural look suited the fresh faced star.





Getting healthy: Vanessa was grabbing something nutritious from Mareka Organic Food



She also accessoised with some chunky gold rings, and purple nail varnish to add a further splash of colour.



The 22 year old had popped into Mareka Organic Food with some friends to pick up a few nutritious bites.



The healthy choice was most likely part of her new slimming regime, which she has embarked on to lose the extra pounds she gained for her role in upcoming independent movie, Gimme Shelter.





Boho babe: Vanessa's laid back look was a far cry from her slick appearance at the VMAs last weekend





Getting back in shape: Vanessa's been taking yoga classes to return to her usual svelte figure



Vanessa has been combining a healthy diet with regular exercise to regain her usually svelte frame.



She has been spotted carting her yoga mat to class, and also went for a hike with her teenage sister Stella yesterday.



The actress appears to have regained some of her confidence after struggling with the short hair cut she had for Gimme Shelter.

Shocked in the city: Sarah Jessica Parker ran out of her photo shoot after hearing a man had collapsed in the street in London today



There are many reasons why an A-list celebrity might call a halt to a photo shoot.



But there were no tantrums when Sarah Jessica Parker stormed out of her session in London today, as she was rushing to check how a man was after he collapsed.



The Sex and the City actress ran onto the street outside swanky London hotel Claridges after hearing the commotion when the unknown chap passed out.





Nosey Parker: Sarah could not drag herself away from the drama outside





The shocked star made her exit after hearing the wife of the man, who was just passing by, screaming for help.



Luckily the hotel security staff were on hand and were able to aid the gentleman.



Eventually the drama was over and the glamorous 46-year-old was able to get to business.



Sarah has been jetting around the world promoting her upcoming movie I Don't Know How She Does It.





City slicker: Sarah seemed to be having a great time in the English capital of London





And the fashion conscious actress has admitted her style icons are of English stock.



She revealed her favourites include the likes of the two Kates, Middleton and Moss.



She said she is very impressed with the way the 29-year-old Duchess of Cambridge, who is married to Prince William, and supermodel Moss, 37, dress.





The first waves club: Sarah was happy to greet fans as she got ready to leave the hotel





She said: 'So many. Ingrid Bergman & the way Kate Moss dresses & the Duchess of Cambridge.'



Sarah added that she hopes American designers will take a leaf from their British counterparts and take more risks.





Saluting the princess: Sarah has revealed the Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton is one of her style icons





She continued: 'British fashion is more risky but we have some emerging American designers that seem inspired in that direction.'



And Sarah certainly knows how to take a fashion risk.



She wore a dramatic Little Red Riding Hood-inspired strapless gown complete with cape for the premiere of her new comedy at the Ritz Carlton hotel in Moscow.
