14 Celebrities Who Regularly Go Thrifting

Designer labels cost a fortune, yet some celebrities would rather dig through a thrift rack like they are on a treasure hunt.

Hollywood stars have been spotted skipping fancy boutiques and heading straight for secondhand shops, where the challenge is finding something iconic between a neon windbreaker and a very questionable 1987 sweater.

Sharp eyes, good taste, and a little thrift-store luck can build outfits that cost less than a red-carpet manicure.
