The costumes!

this is the look the costume desginers were going for in hsm3 for each character

TROY (Zac Efron) - A James Dean/Young Elvis look, with a color palate of mostly blue and gray tones. Troy wears primarily slim-cut Diesel denim jeans and James Perse classic tees with Converse high-top sneakers or low-top Vans.

GABRIELLA (Vanessa Hudgens) - A very innocent, girl-next-door feel. She starts in her quintessential white, blue, green and yellow floral dresses, sometimes with little cardigans. As time passes in the film, she becomes more self- aware and begins to take on a more ‘boho’ style of dress. In the film, Hudgens wears clothes
by American Eagle, Free People, Velvet, Miss Sixty, and Dutch designer Tony Cohen.

SHARPAY (Ashley Tisdale) - Very expensive and over-the-top, with the majority of her clothes enhanced with Swarovski crystals and focused on hot pink and feathers. Labels include Marc Jacobs, Miss Sixty, L.A.M.B., Dolce & Gabbana, Juicy Couture, Betsey Johnson, Diesel, Sheri Bodell, Rock n Republic boots and oversized bags, and accessories from Kitson.

RYAN (Lucas Gabreel) - As Sharpay’s brother, his look is also very expensive and directly from the runway with neon pink Marc Jacobs pants, a J. Lindenberg nylon blazer and Paul Smith floral pants tucked into police boots. Distinguished by his Goorin Bros. fedora hat and for the prom, he sports a bowler hat, inspired by a popular Spanish trend.

CHAD (Corbin Bleu) - A very eco-friendly vibe with primarily organic and sustainable clothing and shoes. His American Apparel organic tees feature custom ecofriendly messages such as “My dog didn’t eat my homework, I recycled it” and “Greenster.” Labels include G-Star, Livity Outernational, Alternative Earth, Lucky Brand, Nike and Maasi Treads. I made sure we used American Eagle and Free People, Urban Outfitters so it could be accessible and kids could find that stuff.

TAYLOR (Monique Coleman) - A brainiac and business-like with a feminine edge. Taylor wears primarily J. Crew and Banana Republic sweaters and sweater vests over Theory and G-Star button-front shirts (worn untucked), with skirts by Marc Jacobs, Piazza Simione and Corey Lynn Calter.

KELSI (Olesya Rulin) - Very funky and artsy, but with a vintage feel that includes men’s blazers and vests from Club Monaco and French Connection, and vintage character tees by Disney Couture. Kelsi’s primary designer was artist Elisa Jimenez of “Project Runway

MARTHA (Kaycee Stroh) - Early Madonna combined with an urban hip-hop flare for a retro 80s vibe. She wears lots of leggings, multiple strands of pearls, bangles, multiple rubber bracelets and bandannas in her hair.

JASON (Ryne Sanborn) - Preppy East Coast jock. He wears polos with the collars worn up, button-down over-shirts worn open and untucked, with either pinstripe, plaid or khaki cargo shorts or jeans.

ZEKE (Chris Warren Jr.) - Young, hip and preppy with a crisp urban flare. He wears oversize polos and shorts.

TIARA (Jemma McKenzie-Brown) - An English schoolgirl look.

JIMMIE (Matt Prokop) - An ‘Emo vibe with a little skater mixed in.

DONNY DION (Justin Martin) - A little conservative with a cool edge.
