Though Vanessa Hudgens is consistently glam on the red carpet, even her favorite looks get relegated to the back of the closet.

“I go to a bunch of events,” she tells PEOPLE. “Normally when I wear a dress, I only wear it once.”

Taking advantage of this stylish surplus, the actress is auctioning off the one-of-kind Candie’s Couture gown she wore to last year’s MTV Movie Awards (left), with all proceeds benefiting Stand Up 2 Cancer.

“I’m just trying to raise awareness,” she says of the endeavor, which starts Monday, Jan. 23 at 7 p.m. EST/ 4 p.m. PST. “It’s exciting.”

Other things she’s excited about include her new website, VanessaHudgensOfficial, where she blogs about film and music — and posts personal photos, thanks to the iPhone app Instagram. “It’s slightly addicting,” she says, laughing. “You can take a picture of a cup and it will look incredible.”

There were shags and bobs, bangs and pixies, and all sorts of crazy new looks in 2011. It seems that most stars wanted a change this year, and many of them made one — in the form of a big haircut.

Katherine Heigl freshened her look in March with a close cut (and new color). And of course there was the haircut heard ’round the world — Jennifer Aniston‘s February chop! Model Brooklyn Decker let her stylist take a whopping 10 inches off of her long blonde locks, while Evan Rachel Wood debuted a flattering short cut that took her into summer.

Vanessa Hudgens only chopped her hair in July, but already, she’s going long. The actress showed up inside the Moët & Chandon suite at the U.S. Open in New York on Monday sporting some surprisingly lengthy locks. So what gives?

“I do love my short hair, but sometimes you just want to change things up a bit,” she told InStyle.com. “Tonight, I wanted to go boho. Short hair wouldn’t really work with this hat, so I just pulled these [extensions] out of my bag and clipped them in.”

Easy enough! Hudgens debuted the dramatic, cropped hairstyle earlier this summer, part of her physical transformation for her role in the upcoming film Gimme Shelter. “It was a completely new person,” she told PEOPLE at the time. “I really did look like a boy.” Tell us: Do you prefer Hudgens with long or short hair?

Heavy metal reigned at the MTV Video Music Awards last night, as a bevy of beauties hit the black carpet in stunning metallic gowns.

Demi Lovato shimmered in Mandalay’s metallic silver jewel-encrusted dress, paired with equally shiny shoes. Newlywed Kim Kardashian took a little sparkle away from her engagement ring in a plunging v-neck KaufmanFranco gown, which featured a sexy, cutout back. Victoria Justice continued the trend, sporting a one-of-a-kind metallic leather and metal fringe cocktail dress by Theia. And Vanessa Hudgens shimmied into an after-party wearing a floor-length silver gown highlighted by a necklace, two cuffs and a cocktail ring from Jewelry by Nola.

Selena Gomez also brought some shine to the stage, wearing a charcoal beaded high-neck mod dress by Jenny Packham while presenting with Taylor Lautner, and Jersey Shore‘s Jenni “J-Woww” Farley cleaned up in a glimmering, three-quarter-sleeved mini. Talk about shine control! Tell us: What do you think of the metallic trend?

She may still be getting accustomed to her drastic hair make-under — a change for her latest film, Gimme Shelter — but Vanessa Hudgens isn’t having problems glamming up her new short do. The actress showed off her super-cropped locks Tuesday night at the Los Angeles premiere of Captain America, and for the big event, her stylist amped up the sex appeal on her new cut. “I first transformed her haircut by removing the weight from the sides, creating more texture and movement and opening up her face,” shares stylist Jamal Hammadi. Next, he straightened her waves with a large round wooden brush, then used a 1-in. hair iron to create curls around Hudgens’s head. “I pulled [them] apart with the hands, giving it height and separation that makes the texture look natural, chic and effortless.” He finished by teasing her hair starting from the roots, then brushed his fingers through her hair once more before she walked out the door. Voilà! Tell us: Would you try Hudgens’s short do? –Kim Peiffer
