Super Saturday 2011: Stars Aim For Bargains At Hamptons Charity Fashion Event

WATER MILL, N.Y. — Kelly Ripa, Rachel Zoe and Emma Roberts had their strategies mapped out as they joined other stars on a mission to find the best bargains at a high-fashion shopping event for charity on Saturday.

Celebrities such as Donna Karan, Gayle King and actor Chord Overstreet also attended Super Saturday, which raises money for the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. Jimmy Choo, Theory, Piperlime.com and One Kings Lane were among the 200 brand names that discounted their goods for the cause.

"You have to get a map and plot out the places you want to go," celebrity chef Katie Lee said. "You have to have a mission and a game plan."

Lee said she's scored amazing deals in the past, thanks in part to her hard-core focus: "I got about five Tommy Hilfiger bikinis for about twenty dollars and I still wear them and I love them, and I got cover-ups too."

Ripa had an alphabetical method to her buying spree, instead of jumping around from designer to designer. Once again acting as a co-host, she was excited to get a chance to shop – something that eluded her last time.

"Last year it did not go my way. I had a wedding to get to, so I was able to do the press line, but by the time I got off the press line, I was ushered into a car to go to the wedding. It was really sad," she said.

Roberts, who also co-hosted the event, said she was out the lookout for anything by the line Chloe.

Reality star, stylist and new mom Zoe did double duty by hosting a booth, as well as doing some shopping for clients. Zoe said she never has buyer's remorse over her Super Saturday purchases.

"I think just all of the finds you get and knowing every dollar you spend is for a great cause."

Front page HP? Really? Who cares how these narcissists spend! I want a jobs and my paid for "entitlements" dang it!!!!!

I could care less who does the humptons and who does not.

I live in the Hamptons, I am one of the middle class workers who makes a fairly seasonal living and I can tell you these events are lame as hell and mostly go unnoticed by locals

Their generosity is overwhelming. I'm sure they would do it anyway, even if they didn't get any publicity.

What recession?

When Katie Lee got her five Hilfiger bikinis for 20 bucks I hope that afterwards she made a big, fat donation to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.

This disease needs a lot more research. There is no reliable screening test for early detection. Treatment is difficult and survival rates are low. My mother had it and didn't survive.

Just get Pap smears when you are supposed to.

Pap smears are a test for cervical cancer. There are nostandard tests for Ovarian cancer. It is almost always detected late because there are not reliable early warning signs.

If you have never been to one of these Hamptons "events" its pretty much the same each time.

A few REAL stars show up and hang around for a little while, about 50 people who are somewhat known in the industry, but are NOT stars like to pose for photo ops, hundreds of wealthy and upper middle class nobodys mull around and pretend they belong there.

Its always the same thing, lots of people trying to pretend they are somebody and nobody really cares about why they are there, they just want to be seen. Lots of inherited money or old money that is now barely getting by because of the recession with nothing to do on a weekend.

I have been to three of these in the past few years for different reasons. BORING.

Thank you. The 'wealthy' are severely over-rated, as well as a diminishing in numbers..... the only ones who think they are important are themselves.

I always wonder why not send a meaningful check instead of "buying" 4 bikinis for 20 bucks....or truly spend a day working for a cause....by volunteering in a hospice or any charitable organization. They need "real hands on" volunteering not just photo ops.

I had fun at my Flea Market shopping this morning. Thank God I didn't have to go through a press line.

This should be under 'causes of the French Revolution'.

Why did Star Jones have a bag on her head? Can regular folks shop there?

[ImKeepinItReal]

I went as a guest of someone who got tickets through work..Regular folk can go if you shell out the almost $500 for a ticket..not many regular folk i know can swing that...plus you still have to pay for the clothes which are not that discounted..not worth it.. all a see and be seen vibe

How vile! The rich get discounts while the rest of us only dream of a pair if Jimm Choo's!
