People aren’t too happy with actor Vanessa Hudgens.

VANESSA Hudgens’ latest fashion statement is raising some eyebrows.

On Monday, the Grease actor shared a style snap on Instagram in which a dreamcatcher hung from her brunette waves.

“Chin up, princess … Or the crown slips,” she wrote.

Hudgens, 26, was hit with several comments from followers accusing her of disrespecting Native American culture.

“Why are you like this??? You constantly go out of your way to disrespect cultures to look ~ boho. It’s rude as f–k. Don’t put dreamcatchers in your hair,” one user replied.

“F–k you Vanessa Hudgens for cultural appropriation,” another wrote.

“This is not the first time she has done this either,” the backlash continued. “Even though she is part Native American using a dreamcatcher as ‘hair jewellery’ is not done. If someone can tell me a tribe who does it I will take it back. But until then she is constantly pulling this type of stuff with multiple cultures and I don’t like it.”

Despite the backlash, others supported Hudgens’ latest look.

“Y’all need to relax. And stop being so uptight about the culture appropriation,” one fan replied.

“Gorgeous and so culturally representative of all people with all of your stunning fashion choices. I too am a Native American woman and so proud to see a symbol of our culture capturing beauty,” another noted.

Hudgens has previously been slammed for Hindu cultural appropriation after wearing a bindi.

As of Tuesday, Hudgens had not taken down the original post.
