An 'unretouched and unfiltered' Vanessa Hudgens in new campaign for fashion brand Bongo

An 'unretouched and unfiltered' Vanessa Hudgens bravely rejects Photoshop in new campaign for fashion brand Bongo


A new fashion campaign starring Vanessa Hudgens has not been edited with Photoshop, showing the star in all her au-natural glory.
The latest ads for Bongo show the actress, 25, posing in printed dresses and high-waist jeans, alongside the words: ‘100per cent all natural. Unretouched and unfiltered. This is the real Vanessa Hudgens.’
The campaign marks Miss Hudgens’ second season as the face of Bongo – she replaced former campaign girl Ashley Benson as the brand’s face in January.

The Spring Breakers star says she wants the ads to set a strong example for girls across the country.
    In a press release announcing the campaign, she said: ‘The clothes make me feel carefree and confident, which is why I love that the final ad images are unretouched.
    ‘It’s so important for girls to remember that real beauty shines from within, and I’m so proud that Bongo is choosing to send such as positive message with this campaign.’

    ‘In the age of Instagram filters and Photoshop apps, it is more important than ever that Bongo remains committed to inspiring girls to feel comfortable in their own skin, and we are excited to be partnering with Vanessa to send that message with this campaign.’
