High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens has hailed Mary-Kate Olsen, Nicole Richie and former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham as her fashion icons.

The 19-year-old beauty picks up most of her style tips from the trendy trio, and admits she often treats herself to expensive items of clothing just so she can feel "feminine and sexy".

When asked about her fashion inspirations in the June issue of Glamour magazine, she replies, "Mary-Kate Olsen, Victoria Beckham and Nicole Richie. (They) have fun with fashion."

She adds, "If something's cool and funky and I like it, it doesn't matter how much it costs."
