Disney darling Vanessa Hudgens attended the world premiere of IRIS — A Journey Into The World of Cinema by Cirque du Soleil in Hollywood where the Beastly star took some time to answer questions about dating and her career.
Many assumed Vanessa might bring recent flame Austin Butler to the red carpet after the pair were spotted being overtly affectionate, but instead the actress arrived with her sister in tow.

When asked if she was single, Vanessa told reporters, "Yes!" and gave a slightly sarcastic smirk and laughed.
So what does this mean for Vanessa and Austin? Is the Sucker Punch star still just playing the field after her breakup last year with heart throb Zac Efron? And what exactly does a guy need to get the brunette bombshell to give them a shot at her heart?
"An easygoing outlook on life," the actress told reporters.
