Hunger Games: Catching Fire star Jena Malone dons $43 dress to London film event

HUNGER Games star Jena Malone is our new favourite budget savvy celebrity, stepping out in a $43 ASOS dress to promote the latest film in the franchise.

THEY'RE glamorous, wealthy and always on trend, but we love nothing more than a thrifty celebrity.

Jena Malone is our new favourite budget savvy star after stepping out to promote The Hunger Games: Catching Fire wearing a dress that set her back just $43.

The former Stepmom star arrived at the photocall in London wearing a slinky figure-hugging red number from online retailer Asos.

The budget-friendly frock, which is currently on sale for just $US43.61, is practically pocket change compared to the price of Jennifer Lawrence's couture Dior gowns.

Given that the rising 28-year-old star could have donned a pricey piece by any number of designers, it's commendable that Malone is embracing the 'look fab for less' trend.
