Vanessa Hudgens put her break-up with Zac Efron last week firmly behind her, looking hot at her 22nd birthday party at Pure Nightclub at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on December 18.
Vanessa looked her sultry best in a strapless silver Pleasure Doing Business bandage dress.
She accessorized with black pumps, silver clutch and statement rings on both her hands, with the rings accentuating her super shining metallic silver nails.
Her long, tousled tresses draped her shoulders. She wore sparkling blue eyeshadow, layers of mascara and neutral lipgloss.
Vanessa's actual birthday was on December 14. She was on set of Journey 2: The Mysterious Island that day.
This was Vanessa's first post breakup red carpet appearance.
Speaking to People magazine, Vanessa said she and her ex continue to be good friends.
"We're good," said Vanessa.
Vanessa's BFF Ashley Tisdale and Brittany Snow gave her company at the Pure bash; the three sat on a table in the VIP area.
Vanessa cheerily posed for photogs blowing kisses at them. The club presented her with a three tier floral cake with 4 candles atop. She blew off the candles amidst loud cheers from a jam packed dance floor.
Later during the evening she was seen dancing on a couch.
Vanessa is currently filming for Brad Peyton helmed 3D action adventure film Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, based on the novel of the same name by Jules Verne. The film, a sequel to the Journey to the Center of the Earth (2008), will release on September 23, 2011.
Vanessa's other two 2011 releases are Beastly and Sucker Punch.
Beastly, due in theatres on March 18, will mark Vanessa's transition from a Disney girl to a Hollywood actress. Sucker Punch, which releases on March 25, is a musical action-fantasy.
