She has been spotted rehearsing on location this week as she and her co-stars get ready to star in upcoming movie Spring Breakers.
But it seems brushing up on her lines wasn’t the only preparation Vanessa Hudgens has had to do for her latest role.
The 23-year-old was seen showing off newly dyed locks as she made her way to set this morning for the first day of filming.
New 'do: Vanessa Hudgens has dyed her hair blonde for her latest movie role in Spring Breakers
The star has left her dark brown tresses behind and was seen sporting honey blonde hair as she walked to work in Sacramento, Florida.
The actress appeared to have had extensions put into her hair, although the new look could in fact be a wig.
Vanessa was joined by her co-stars Selena Gomez, Ashley Benson, and Rachel Korine and the foursome looked as though they had just rolled out of bed as they all donned comfortable clothing for their early start.
The High School musical star was dressed in a grey hooded jumper and black tracksuit bottoms, along with black flip flops.

She chatted away to 19-year-old Selena, who wore a white patterned knitted cardigan, black tracksuit bottoms and grey slipper boots as they strolled side by side.
Meanwhile Pretty Little Liars actress Ashley Benson, 22, walked behind them, wrapped up warm in a grey blanket and sporting a pair of spectacles.
The group looked a little tired as they prepared to get down to some serious work after enjoying a few days of fun in the Florida sun during rehearsals.

The drama film, which also stars James Franco, tells the story of four college girls who take part in a robbery in order to fund their Spring Break holiday.
Beauty and the Beast star Vanessa has said that she is not as wild as her character Candy, who is 'the crazy party girl' of the group.

The group have quickly formed a close bond which Spring Breakers executive producer Wicks Walker recently gushed about to HollywoodLife.com.
He told the website: ‘A lot of interesting things are going to happen with Spring Breakers. We are thrilled with the cast.
‘There should be a natural chemistry with the girls…it’s great that Selena, Vanessa and Ashley are all friends. This film is just magic.’
