Hudgens revealed that her feet swelled during pregnancy, a common experience for many expectant mothers, but she was surprised to discover her shoe size increased permanently by a full size. “I feel like most of you know when you’re pregnant, your feet swell up. But what I didn’t know is that sometimes your feet stay swelled up and your foot grows an entire size,” she explained, according to People. With her shoe closet no longer fitting, Hudgens decided to share her wardrobe treasures with fans through Placed, a platform specializing in selling pre-loved items.
Starting March 21, 99 pairs of her favorite shoes—including iconic designer pieces—became available in a 48-hour auction. “Some of my all-time favorite pairs will be available, and I’m so excited to see who ends up with my shoes!” Hudgens said, adding a playful twist to her wardrobe transition. The move not only reflects her practical response to her changing body but also her desire to connect with fans through a fun, interactive experience.
Since announcing her pregnancy at the 2024 Oscars, Hudgens has embraced motherhood, and her recent appearance at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar Party showcased her chic style in a black Dolce & Gabbana gown. This shoe sale marks another chapter in her journey as a new mom and fashion icon.
