Celebrity Bargain Stylers : Angelina Jolie and Her Thrifty Dress

angelina_thrifty_dress.jpgStyle It Less is going to start a new category called Celebrity Bargain Stylers. I think the title is pretty much self-explanatory. From time to time, I will feature female celebrities wearing clothing items in bargain prices. Albeit it’s old news, who would be the best celebrity to lead this pack but Angelina Jolie herself? Last month at the NYC premiere of her new movie, “A Mighty Heart” the Hollywood and Fashion industries went a-buzzed over her vintage $26($28?) dress she(her stylist,heh) found at a Thrifty store in Los Angeles. I mean the way both industries made such a huge deal about it that if you blinked your eyes for a second you probably missed their heads doing a 360-degrees head turn ala Exorcist was ridiculous. No offense to the Hot Momma of Brad Pitt’s 4 kids(Maddox, Pax, Zahara and Shiloh), but fabulous Thrifty Mommies all over the world, including yours truly, has been styling in bargain prices for years. A $26 dress is really not news to us but since I’m writing about it here I guess it is. So I must digress :) .

I’m not hatin’ on dear Angie, I loved her on GIA :) . And she looks absolutely stunning on this dress. I’m sure she didn’t anticipate all the bruhaha the Hollywood and Fashion industries alike showered on her thrifty vintage crushed velvet dress. I almost felt sorry for the Christian Louboutin heels she wore that night from being overshadowed by a bargain dress. OUCH! I wouldn’t blame the designer if he felt flummoxed over the whole thing himself, heh!

    Angelina is just too thin here-I wonder if she’s stre$sed from all those kids. I hope she has a few leftover pounds from the twins-she can use them.

    double e$ses again!

    A very weird dress.

    Never even seen a mannequin that skinny.

  5. By Fay

    Not pretty in this one.

  6. By Tanya

    not a good pick of Ang

  7. By Tanya

    I think she looks unhappy

  8. By Tanya

    True but as you age you can get that on your arms. I think most would be quick to jump to conclusions on her eating habits. It could possibly be a drug addiction.

  9. By Fay

    which is usually a sign of eating disorder. Long back in high school some of my friends had that and that’s when you can really tell.

    Sometimes I wonder about her health… just because she has severe veins on her arms.

  11. By BKMabrey

    Her legs look too skinny!

  12. By Tanya

    she looks frump

  13. By Fay

    She looks better in her uber expensive stuff.

  14. By Pearl

    Angelina is simple yet elegant. I like her style…ah here recent stylish look, not the wayward times.

  16. By Fay
