Last night in Los Angeles, actress Drew Barrymore strutted the red carpet in a vintage metallic chain mail frock at Nylon's August issue party to celebrate Express Denim.

And while she is known to wear Lanvin and the like, this dress was a particular standout both in design and affordability. "It was $25 and she bought it at a vintage store in Austin, Texas," her rep told StyleList.

It's not surprising that Barrymore, ever the fashion butterfly, picked up the geometric piece. "I never have time for shopping," the actress told the mag this month. "I like it...I think? If I ever do go shopping, I hit thrift stores..."

Further complimenting her overall ensemble was her ombré hair and simple accessories. Namely, classic gold hoops, a charm necklace, and fab YSL Tribute Too pumps.

The event, hosted in her honor, was also attended by Kelly Osbourne, "Hills" star Stephanie Pratt and 90210 actress Shenae Grimes.

In other news, Jessica Simpson reveals her top jeans.

YOU clicked on it!
YOU read it!
YOU thought it was important enough to post about!

You want hard news, go to a news site. There are tons of them.
You want to talk about the troops and the war, go to thoses sites.

Is that so hard to do?
(ya whiner!)

This is definately NOT a dumb article. The ecomomy is in the toilet. Average folks are broke. The message that Drew (and this article) is sending is that you don't have to have to spend loads of money to have nice looking clothes. You just have to be resourceful and creative. Thrift stores, garage sales, and estate sales are all great sources for some really great finds.

Who whines about a clothing article on a site called "stylelist"...an article about the war would be a bit misplaced don'tcha think? O.o

Why would you even click, much less read, what by your standards is unworthy of your attention? I continued to be amazed at people who read fashion stories and then complain about them... Drew is amazing, beautiful and very intelligent... so bugger off you naysayers!

Brilliant Kim! Complain about Drew's style and whine about no coverage about the troops on a section called STYLE LIST. Sure, the troops would fit in just great if Drew was wearing camoflage I guess. Dumbazz!! (BTW _ NOT knocking the troops - my son is in the Military & deployed now)

Kim: It's refreshing to hear good news now and then, don't you think? Usually the media takes up news space with the negative and stupid antics of celebrities.

I love Drew Berrymore. She is a lot like I was at her age; a free spirit so to speak (only wealthier). I think the fact that she shops at thrift stores or vintage clothing stores says a lot about her. She is very down to earth!

Drew looks adorable, as usual. I think she's a delight to watch in all her movies. I especially loved her in Gray Gardens.

wish we could all recycle old clothes and look that good. trouble is you need a body like that to pull it off. she's darling and personally I applaud her for not always having to spend mega-bucks! it's ridiculous what these actors get paid but they don't have to always flaunt it to the rest of us poor schmucks paying big prices to see their movies!

Bravo Drew! in the world of excess and greed, and total lack of compassion, this woman steps out and shows us her heart. Oh and by the way, a $25 dress NEVER looked so good.

Way to go Drew. Finally a star that can show the world that you don't have to pay thousands and thousands of dollars on an outfit to look great. I love it, down to earth.

Drew looks good in anything she puts on. I really like the fact she is wearing something practically everyone can afford and isn't embarrassed to say where she got it. Drew - I salute you!

Nice dress - $25 is a bit pricey at a thrift store - not to mention the $760 pumps she's wearing, love how she acts like she isn't shallow. It's cute. ^.-
