(Cover) - EN Star Style - Vanessa Hudgens sees no problem in indulging as she thinks curvy women are beautiful.

The 22-year-old is best known for her role in the hugely popular High School Musical franchise and this year has seen the release of movies including Sucker Punch and Beastly, proving she has all the makings for a long-lasting career in Hollywood.

The beauty is proud of how much she has grown as an actress recently, and thinks her mature approach to acting echoes her attitude towards her body. Nowadays she worries far less about dieting because she appreciates a womanly form.

I try to avoid carbs, but recently its been a celebratory time in my life, so Ive allowed myself to eat what I want. Im a woman, Ive got to indulge now and then, she told Look magazine.

The sexiest thing is to be confident and true to you. I feel OK doing that now before, I used to be shy, as I was figuring out who I was.

Vanessa takes being in the public eye seriously, and doesnt want to send an unhealthy image out to her fans. The beautiful star embraces all body types, and thinks everybody should do the same.

Yes, 110%, replied the star when asked if it was important to her to send women a positive message.

Whether youre skinny or curvy, you have to feel good and be healthy because if you dont, it just weighs you down. (C) Cover Media
