  • Michelle Obama: J. Crew
  • Barack Obama: Secret Service employees’ store
  • Alicia Keys: Barneys warehouse sale
  • Brad Pitt: Make It Right Foundation T-shirts

  • Princess Letizia of Asturias: Mango, Massimo Dutti, and Zara
  • Kelly Ripa: Super Saturday, the annual Hamptons-based garage sale of designer fashions
  • Renee Zellweger: The Brimfield Antique Show in Massachusetts
  • Jane and Aerin Lauder: Thakoon for Target
  • Peter Beard: The Grand Bazaar in Istanbul and the Libyan Desert near Siwa Oasis
  • A few notables either don’t bargain shop, or do it discreetly; among them: Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, Anne Hathaway, Penelope Cruz, Tiki Barber, Daniel Craig, Catherine Deneuve, and Michael Bloomberg.
