Vanessa Hudgens goes topless as bikini pops open on beach

Actress Vanessa Hudgens was left cringing with embarrassment on holiday in Hawaii when her bikini top popped open as she paddled in the sea.

The High School Musical star is on vacation in the Pacific Ocean paradise with her new beau Austin Butler and took to the waves wearing a multi-coloured two-piece.

But she had to scamper away to a sun shade with only her hands protecting her modesty when the clasp on her bikini top broke and the garment fell away.

Vanessa Hudgens was photographed looking flustered as she dashed out of the sea and hid beneath a parasol on the beach to put the bra back on after the wardrobe malfunction earlier this week (beg23Jan12).
