Angelina Jolie: Bargain Raider

As has been widely reported all over the internet today, Angelina Jolie wore a $26 dress to the premiere of her new film A Mighty Heart last night in New York. Here she is, saying, "Neener neener! I got such a bargain!"

Apparently she got the dress at Wasteland, a vintage shop (aka "thrift store" to you and me) on Melrose Ave. in Los Angeles. In my opinion, the dress is all right, but it's nothing special. In fact, it looks like $26 was about the right price for it. But though the dress may have cost $26, her shoes did not: They are Christian Louboutins with crystal heels. Check 'em out here (and check out Brad Pitt's snazzy not-$26 suit, too):

The fact that the price of her dress made international news is either pathetic or proof that people are really, really bored these days now that Paris is in jail. Actually, that's kind of pathetic, too. What's not pathetic? Even though Brangelina didn't allow press to cover their film premiere, they did spend plenty of time signing autographs for their fans.

Yeah, Angelina knows the value of her fans. She's probably stepping up her popularity campaign now that Leisha Hailey nabbed the top spot on our Hot List. Here's another shot of Angie, where I bet she's thinking: "Yeah, No. 2, whatever. Next year I'm gonna be No. 1!"

    Jeeezus, she's

    Jeeezus, she's gorgeous!! Nice picture you picked there Ms. Lo. She must go through tons of chapstick with those lips.  She could wear a 10 cent burlap bag and still be smoke'n!  Just saying...

    It makes me so sad how much

    It makes me so sad how much weight she's lost.

    Jennifer Aniston was pretty skeletal when she was with Brad, too. I have a secret theory that Brad Pitt sucks the life out of women.

    newbie's picture

    you got that right..

    I have to agree with you Manon des Sources. It is a shame.  I think of the women who I adored prior to their skeleton phases.  Nicole Kidman being one. And, yeah, Jennifer Aniston. Curves do make the woman. I hope Kate Winslet never goes on one of those life-sucking diets.  I would continually send her large jersey-made pizzas with all the toppings if it ever did happen. 
    Sally10825's picture

    I thought the same thing!

    I am laughing out loud, since I thought: Brad sure knows how to suck the life out of his women! I think maybe he likes it that way, and they don't mind "pleasing him"???  I think Angie would look a lot better with 5 pound more at least! 
    But she is amazingly beautiful! Her face is very pretty and incredibly sexy!!
    Besides, with that body of hers, she would look good with a sack of popatos as a dress! What's the problem with a $26 dress? (She has to save money for her kids, don't you think?)

    Those lips!

    Lip products are expensive, hence the $26 dress.   
    Gobias Somecoffee's picture

    Yes, the lips

    Sigh.  Angelina is so beautiful! Even with her mouth wide open, she still manages to look stunning. I'm not liking the dress though.  It looks really plain.

    I think she looks awful.

    I think she looks awful. She's so thin it's really distressing!

    i think it would be cool if

    i think it would be cool if she really just spent 26$ on the dress. is it really necessary to buy thousand dollar outfits?

    On the other hand it is sad that this makes the headline but to me it's more entertaining than paris in jail or anywhere else...

    Call me crazy ...

    but I never really got the facination with Angie.

    Totally

    there with you. I seem not to be able to see what's so fascination about her...
    Slym's picture

    Well

    I think by now I've become infamous for not being an Angie fan.  I just don't get it at all.  At the risk of getting my head chopped off I find her unattractive and the pouting lips are a turn off.. it's just too much and as for Brad sucking the life out of his women... i'm on board with that too.  Way to skinny.... I laughed so hard when I read that...

    And not to go off topic... I fail to find the fascination with Jessica Biels as well... I find her really unattractive.

    was then, is not now

    I thought Angelina was so hot in the beginning like when she did tomb raider, gia and etc., but now I don't, she not like how she use to be...

    TXQT's picture

    in her defense

    angelina is so thin b/c her mom, who she was really close to, just died of cancer so she is in mourning.  According to her brother she hasn't been eating.  is that totally sad I know that much info?
    notshane's picture

    do I detect a whiff of snittiness...?

    What's the problem with wearing a $26 dress, Malinda? I would say bravo to her for not playing the designer-$4,000-gown game, which it seems is required by every red carpet do these days. Do we need our celebs to live the kind of over the top consumerist lifestyle that's destroying our planet? Nothing wrong with recycling...good for her!

    And btw, she's appearing on Jon Stewart's Daily Show tonight. Should be interesting.

    Larry King Live

    I just saw her on the program and she looked amazing.  She talked about her family and her new film, A Mighty Heart.  Very well spoken woman.  Ah, I <3 Angelina!
    pecola's picture

    Anyone else bothered...

    ...by the fact that in her new movie she's portraying this woman:

    Mariane Pearl

     

    Mariane Pearl, the Afro-Cuban and Dutch widow of WSJ reporter, Daniel Pearl.  

    I mean...did they learn nothing from the fourth season of "The L Word?"

    I love Angelina Jolie, don't get me wrong--but really...they couldn't find a single woman of color to play this role? 

    eugenie's picture

    as a person of mixed race myself...

    ...including, oddly enough, Afro - Cuban...I haven't the slightest problem with the casting of Ms. Jolie as Ms. Pearl. Even in appearance - they could be sisters. Nothing about Ms. Pearl's appearance screams "African"...she looks like the coming mixed race person of the future, when we'll all be everything. Why, Ms. Jolie has fuller lips. And as Ms. Pearl herself approved the cast - she was probably flattered - that should be an end to it.

    I've long felt that casting should be less ethnically pure, not more, as long as that means minority actors get more opportunities, not fewer. As it should, in a perfect world.

     Who would you have cast? Please don't say Jennifer Beals...really, if the L Word, what I've seen of it at least, has not taught us the limitations of Ms. Beals, what can it have taught us?

    I agree with those who find Ms. Jolie painfully thin, for what it's worth, but as someone who can't eat when under such stress myself, I find it hard to criticise. I don't think in this case, unlike so many others, it was an aesthetic choice...

    yummy!

    just, yummy!
    jox's picture

    I think she's gorgeous but...

    ...i find her less attractive these days, especially since she's lost so much weight. I think she looked alot sexier and healthier in her Tomb Raider days... lean and mean!  Yum!

    -BE BRAVE, BE BOLD, BE FREE-

    JBLuver's picture

    Didn't she lose her mother

    Something like that would screw with my appetite too. Especially considering, I believe she was very close to her mom. AJ just doesn't strike me as someone who would lose weight to be popular or fit a mold. That's why the lezzies like her right.

    She must know there are other colors in the world besides black.

    It's one thing to wear a $26 dress to a premiere, but as malinda alluded to it's another to look like you're wearing a $26 dress.

    Brad Pitt can wear the hell out of a suit. That boy is bad. He kills it!

    Veecey's picture

    beauty

    she is beauty...give the woman time to mourn her mother...

     and besides...who is this brad pitt???  angelina is still a virgin, waiting for me...right???

    So Over Her

    I'm with you Kriss122, I adored her in Gia and other early work. Nowadays I'm really sick of her holierthanthou attitude. I think it's been down hill for her since she hooked up with Brad. And please, no press at the premiere? That reeks of self-righteousness.

    I'm Blind

    It's like looking directly at the sun, though I agree that she is too thin.
    Emmanescence's picture

    Yeah, I miss her Tomb Raider

    Yeah, I miss her Tomb Raider beauty. She needs more meat. But that face will never be ugly.

    gorgeous, but still too thin

    check out elbows/arms....no muscle tone, etc, the girl is too thin...love, love, love her but she needs some help.  I think she's burying herself in "good deeds" and children, i would like to know SHE's ok!  How can we get her back?
    dj_stokes's picture

    i sure would love to feed

    i sure would love to feed her something..maybe a nice big pasta dish as she lies on my lap...

     

    yeah, okay..pasta, not very sensual huh?  least thats the only thing i can cook right heh 

    Noclaf's picture

    The dress looks awesome(of

    The dress looks awesome(of course I considder black pants and a silk shirt "dressed up" so...). The best part is trying to imagine Angalina in a thrift store picking it out, and the fact that she's giving a big 'stick it' to the overpaid folks in fashion.

    My Thoughts on "Sexy".

    Anyone see Hackers?

    Yeah. Since the first time she graced a screen she's portrayed women who were highly sexual - and owned it. The chick is strong, pretty, and she owns her sexuality in a fashion rarely seen on the screen or in real life. Most of the time it seems we women try to hide our sexuality in fear of reprisals, but she doesn't and she's totally unapologetic for it.

    I at least find that ridiculously sexy. I do hope she starts feeling better soon because she's totally looking skeletal here. Brad , on the other hand, looks like he could spend some time at Jenny Craig's.

    is it me?

    Or has she got a bar code on her arm??

    ...juuuuust me then. I'll get me coat.
    newbie's picture

    eeehhh.

    chuckle  :o
    I believe that is what they call a bozo move? She had Billy Bob Thorton's name tattooed on her and then tried to have it removed.  Then, tatooted someting over it.  At least that's what I hear.  

    I'll grab my coat too.  Wait, it's 92 deg. outside. 

    undrcovridgr's picture

    I believe ...

    those are the exact geographic locations of where her children were born.

    Definetly not a barcode

    For some reason that made me laugh, I just got a barcode tatoo'ed on my wrist (don't ask). Her tatt reminds me more of a shopping list... couldn't she have put a bit of color there.. maybe a background? Anyway, my 2 cents in, I'm with those who don't understand why Angelina is considered so gorgeous.

    Like, yeah, she's cute, and she has a nice face and kind eyes, but I'd rate Ally Hannigan and my gf over her any day of the week. Ooo, or Luci4 from Lesbianbeddeath, she's my new crush :D

     1 last thing.. didn't Brad Pitt play a vampire in some movie.. ?
