How Sydney’s social elite reacted to Zac Efron’s ex-Vanessa Valladares attending Fashion Week

‘What’s she even doing here?’ How Sydney’s social elite reacted to Zac Efron’s ex-girlfriend Vanessa Valladares showing up to Australian Fashion Week

She may have dated Hollywood star Zac Efron for almost a year, but according to Sydney’s social elite that did not warrant Vanessa Valladares’ invitation to Australian Fashion Week.  

Front row fashionistas were reportedly confused as to why the waitress and part-time model was asked to attend the event last week.

One guest was apparently overheard saying ‘What’s she even doing here?’ as claimed by the Sydney Morning Herald.

While Vanessa attended the shows all week, the beauty was often seated in the second row.  

On Tuesday, she was spotted sitting alone behind some of fashion’s elite at Carriageworks in Sydney.

Vanessa looked pensive as she kept her eyes on the runway while guests in the front row documented the catwalk on their iPhones.

She cut a chic figure in a collared shirt, and styled her short brunette hair loosely. 

Vanessa, who has been a fixture at Fashion Week this year, was also spotted watching a show on Wednesday.

But it appears she was once again seated in the second row, before moving her seat forward to be closer to the likes of singer Jessica Mauboy and actress Sarah Ellen.  

At one point, as Jessica and Sarah posed for photos, Sarah awkwardly blocked Vanessa from view. 

Vanessa and Zac’s split was confirmed in April, following a 10-month romance.

After split rumours surfaced, KIIS FM radio host Kyle Sandilands – who is good friends with Zac – confirmed the break-up. 

He said it ‘wasn’t just a rumour’, adding: ‘I can also confirm after speaking with him yesterday.’

Zac has been living in Australia since early last year, and is believed to have started dating Vanessa around June 2020.
