    Celebrity bargain hunters

    We love it when stars show us that you can’t put a price on style. Many of our favorite Hollywood ladies prove time and again that they have a keen eye for fashion-- and a great bargain. In this episode, see what smart shoppers Selena Gomez, Katharine McPhee and Elizabeth Olsen picked up for $80 or less and where you can find the same on-trend styles.

    Clearly, she can shop anywhere she pleases (and so can her boyfriend) but Selena Gomez is one star we see in bargain finds over and over again, even on the red carpet.  This time we spotted the singer/actress in vacation-casual mode wearing a black and white $45 cardigan from Forever21 with black shorts and a cropped white tee. Then we saw her out and about in New York City in an $80 scarf-print skirt from Zara. Also, in New York City, we spotted “Smash” star Katharine McPhee sporting one of our favorite trends of the moment—bright red colored “jeggings” from American Eagle. You can spend hundreds on a pair, but Katherine’s are a great buy at $44. And last, considering her garment industry connections, you’d think actress Elizabeth Olsen (that’s Mary-Kate and Ashley’s sibling in case you live under a rock) would wear only couture or the latest pieces from Elizabeth and James. Not so. We caught her at Sundance wearing some rust colored jeans with a $56 tiger-print sweater from Topshop.

      80.00 is a bargain ?
      • CId 2 months ago
        when your rich and famous and normally buy clothes that cost hundreds, yeah $80 is a bargain. Most celebs get lots of stuff for free so don't think they really care about cost, whether its a "bargain" or not.

      10 to 20 something tops are generic. 30 to 50 they last if taken care of. 40, 50 to 60 plus, they are good clothing. After that its all about the friggin name. Selena looks so cute.

      That Topshop sweater is just god awful. Best way to save money, is not to spend it in the first place and if you do don't spend it on crap!

    • Alisi Manuika  •  Pago Pago, American Samoa  •  2 months ago
      totally all the bargain!.............
    • Steven  •  2 months ago
      $80 for something that looks like a pillow case hanging off your hips. Selena may look good in it but then I suspect she'd look good in a burlap sack too.

      It doesn't matter - she's a loser anyway. Her songs aren't popular and she clings to the Bieb to gain popularity. She's pretty but in the eyes of the public she is not - ALL THAT!

        Hi hater!
      • uknow1n2 2 months ago
        So "Love U Like A Love Song" climbing to Number SIX in "American Top 40" is not popular? Yeah, some smaller cities where there are mostly Whites and Blacks her songs dont do very well. But it just shows RACE, HER Race, is an issue to fans of music--MOSTLY the younger masses(Pre-teens to Early 20s). Bigots are blinded with Satanic hate. If I, ME, had been a fan from her 1st record "Kiss & Tell" then her songs WOULD have been more popular. I feel bad becoming a fan only early-mid 2011. But everyday is a new start. Shes gained genuine fans, like myself!!!

      Selena Gomez is NOT A LOSER and last time i remembered Justin B asked her out don't hate on her because she is probably younger than you and she has more money than you.you should just be happy for her and Justin b and really they can care less about what u think of them and u are a LOSER

      In what world is $80 a bargain? Get a clue Shine.
    • conservative dad  •  2 months ago
      OMG! As if! Who cares?!?!
    • Karita  •  2 months ago
      Really I work at forever 21 and there is no 45 dollar cardigan. I guess shine means a bargain for celebrities and not real people .

      i had to quit smoking after 30 years because i ran out of food - it was either food or cigaretts and i needed food = will try to get food stamps friday or at least try - so 80 dollars to some people is a lot
