Angelina Jolie created a buzz Sunday night when she wore a $26 vintage frock to the New York premiere of her new film “A Mighty Heart”. Jolie gushed on camera to Access Hollywood about the “G” fashion find–a black, crushed velvet gown bought on the cheap by a friend at Wasteland, the longstanding vintage mecca on L.A.’s famed Melrose Avenue. Anyone would agree that she looks like a million bucks–even if she hadn’t worn her $1000 Christian Louboutin heels.
Jolie’s televised confessional immediately sent style bloggers into a frenzy. Most were amazed and impressed that she dared to walk the Red Carpet in a Walmart-priced gown of unknown origin. But Jolie told Access Hollywood that she enjoys finding a vintage bargain now and again. Celebs gone thrifty and green–could this be the beginning of a Hollywood trend?
You can check out more pics of Angie wearing her hot, black number at Just Jared. California-based fashionistas looking to score a fabulously green bargain of your own may want to check out a Wasteland shop near you:

Military-inspired coats are back in style this season, and we found two jackets that capture the trend perfectly with earth-friendly benefit to boot. The re-wool jacket shown above designed by Grace & Cello uses recycled wool to create this clean-lined look. I love the versatility and the great little details. Available in three colors. Find a retailer near you. Also available online at Greenloop.
The Fab Factor: Made from 75% recycled wool and is sweatshop free. Made in Canada.
The Samovilla Jacket by Earth Speaks can actually be worn two different ways for unique looks. Earth Speaks focuses on designing organic, chemical free clothing. Favored materials include hemp and silk, as well as beautiful stones for buttons.
The Fab Factor: The Samovilla Jacket is made from 60% Hemp which is a renewable material.
