The temperature in Los Angeles hit 100 degrees today but Vanessa Hudgens looked perfect in peach as she arrived at Varietys 2012 Power of Youth awards ceremony.
Wearing a tiered mini-dress with a pair of dusty rose platform pumps, the actress wisely kept her hair pinned up to beat the heat.
The 23-year-old Disney star was being honoured for her work with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, which grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.
Speaking about Make-A-Wish she said: 'I think that everybody should have a chance to follow their dreams, but sometimes following your dreams isn't always that easy.
'So when I was about 16-years-old, I became involved with Make-A-Wish while filming High School Musical. We would have set visits with kids and I've been addicted to being a part of the organisation ever since.'
Vanessa was joined by American Idol star and Grammy-nominated recording artist Jordin Sparks, who was honoured for her work with Childhelp, an organisation dedicated to helping victims of child abuse and neglect.
Variety's Power of Youth event honours the top young talent in Hollywood each year to encourage fans to get involved in philanthropic and humanitarian causes.
