Fashionistas: Vanessa Hudgens and Katherine Heigl - separated by a decade and eight inches - looked a tad awkward when posing side-by-side at the Jenny Packham runway show in New York Tuesday
The 34-year-old blonde, who began modeling at age 9, towered over the former Disney starlet in her sleeveless LBD with rhinestone-beading detail and white stilettos.
Meanwhile the 24-year-old half-Filipina looked tanned and toned in her light-brown halter jumpsuit with sequined collar and beige peep-toe heels.
Earlier Tuesday, the High School Musical actress found herself awkwardly posing with another gorgeous Amazon - six-foot-tall Brooke Shields.
