Poppin' Tags Celebrity Style

A few years ago, Macklemore's hit "Thrift Shop" popularized thrift shopping, with some really good lyrics about getting to have individualized style and not wearing the same overpriced t-shirt as 6 other people in the club. His imagery in the video, though, while fun, was over-the-top so-tacky-it's-cool.

I think there's quite a bit of stigma out there that thrifting is only for the poor, eco-warriers, or costume parties. To prove that you don't have to relive the 80s fringe or choose from someone's grandma's closet, there are many celebrities that commit to thrift shopping - and still look stylish! 

1. Shailene Woodley: currently known for the Divergent series and her activism on #nodapl, Shailene is a 100% thrifter except for when she's representing on the red carpet (and presumably not undergarments).  

2. Ryan Tedder: known as the lead singer of One Republic, has thrifted since he was 13, and owned most of his clothes since then! 

3. Jada Pinkett Smith and Willow Smith, mom and daughter thrift together.  

4. Julia Roberts: the smart mom who gets gently used clothes for her kids!

5. Janelle Monae: R&B singer and Hidden Figures actress prefers thrifting as a way to find unique clothing. 

6. Lara Spencer: the Good Morning America anchor is also the host of HGTV's Flea Market Flip, so it's no surprise she loves hunting for a good find. She especially loves thrift stores that are tied to a charity. 

7. Drew Barrymore: has even worn secondhand on the red carpet! Check out her great dress find for just $25.

8. Zac Efron, dreamboat, reportedly loves to shop at thrift stores for vintage clothing, including a vintage prom tux.

9. Daryl Hannah, while famous for numerous movies, blames the consumerism and fashion industry in Hollywood for a lot of unhappiness. She is also an environmental activist, and prefers new-to-her clothes via hand-me-downs and thrifting.

10. Lorde: indie pop singer, found one of favorite stage outfits while thrifting. This St. John blue suit was just $50; the designer's suits normally go for $1000+.

11. Zooey Deschanel: actress and singer, finds thrifting makes her be more creative when planning her outfits.

12. Eva Mendes: the actress loves bargain hunting. At her first movie premiere, she wore a $6 dress from Goodwill!

Now that we know even the big celebs, who can afford to shop where they like, love to thrift too, we know we're just smart for seeking out unique finds that are both friendly on our wallets and the environment. Next mission: find a red-carpet-worthy outfit for date night!
