In the world of fashion and celebrities, new is always a great thing so when famous fashion designers create new collections, celebs often pay hefty prices just to get to wear these new clothes and show them off on the red carpet. Sometimes though, some celebs don't go with the trend.

Instead of browsing through new collections for an upcoming event, some celebs actually go back through the catalog to the vintage pieces.
