Anne Hathaway Is Cutting Costs for Christmas
Rich people being thrifty is so hot right now.
No one is immune to the effects of the economy, no matter how much money they have. Even celebrities! They're cutting corners and clipping coupons. Don't believe us? Just look at who we found perusing the bargain bins.
Queen Elizabeth, arguably one of the richest women in the world, is looking to save some pounds. According to Palace staff, Her Royal Highness has requested that lights in vacant rooms of Buckingham Palace be switched off, and leftovers be saved from banquets to be re-used. How “green” of her.
Karl Lagerfeld is not one for moderation; however, it looks like the Kaiser is reigning things in. He's cutting back his staff to just three (a chambermaid, chauffer, and chef) and has moved to a smaller Parisian apartment. He's even downsized to just three Hummers, two in Paris, and one in Monte Carlo. Now if that isn't a sacrifice, we don't what is.
Louis Vuitton is pretty much the symbol for luxury and indulgence, but even they're being forced to cut corners. Plans for a 10-story store in Japan have been scrapped. The store would have been the biggest Louis Vuitton in the world and a mecca for LV addicts everywhere.
Vogue knows a thing or two about luxury, but their January issue is all about how to "dress cheap and look chic." Cover girl Anne Hathaway must know a thing or two about downsizing. She got rid of loser BF Raffaello like we’d toss a pair of Lohan-line leggings.
