Angelina Jolie wears $26 dress to 'Mighty Heart' premiere
Whenever anyone compliments something I bought at a thrift store, I always immediately tell them the price. "Nice boots," they say. "Thanks," I reply. "They were $13. I am awesome." Somehow, it makes it the article of clothing even cooler 'cause it didn't cost an arm and a leg. But the absurdly rich international super-star, Angelina Jolie, may have just put my thrifting to shame. While other guests at the New York premiere of her new movie, A Mighty Heart, strolled down the red carpet in thousand-dollar designer gowns, she managed to look stunning in a dress she found a vintage store -- for $26.
Granted, she was shopping at Wasteland on Melrose Ave in LA -- where the selection, I imagine, is slightly more upscale than your local Goodwill. That said, $26. I can't even find a pair of pants that cheap, let alone anything I could wear to ritzy celebrity event.
Well done, Angelina. From one thrift store junkie to another, I salute you.

I totally agree! I always have liked Angelina. She's gorgeous and gives beauty tips, she is always at charity events, she adopts needy children, and now this. Its so good of her and I also salute her!
