A Step-by-Step Guide to Being as Fierce as Sharpay Evans
High School Musical fans know that the main focus of the series is Troy and Gabriella, but we're here to talk about the real star of East High School. That's right: no one's more fabulous than Sharpay Evans, played by Ashley Tisdale. And while Zac Efron was making you swoon left and right (his rippling abs alone are enough to make knees buckle) and Vanessa Hudgens was making you roll your eyes a little bit, Sharpay was owning her fabulousness to the very end. Even Tisdale has proven she knows how to lock down a man, and we have a feeling she could have been channeling her classic character. We've created a step-by-step field guide detailing what it takes to be just as fierce as the queen herself. Scroll and learn, everyone.
