STAR STYLE :- JANE LEEVES

Frasier star Jane Leeves always looks like a million bucks - but there's nothing Jane like more than a great bargin ! "Buying designer clothes is not nearly so much fun as spotting a gucci outfit in a magazine , the heading out in pursuit of a cheaper version" She says.

JANE LEEVES , at a willowy 5-foot-10 and a slender size 6 is a designers dream. Whether she's wearing super sexy gowns or casual run-around-town ensembles , it all fits her like a glove. But when she shops for herself Jane , 37 hunts for bargins. "You can't get better training than being a starving actress ,"Jane quibs "I was on a limited budget so I leatned how to search and be creative."

Even now that she earns over $64,000 an episdoe playing home healthcare worker Daphne Moon on the NBC hit , Jane winces at spending thousands on designer gowns , ever her favourites like Dloce & Gabbana , Richard tyler , Donna Karan , Calvin Klien and Galliano. "Thank god they let me borrow them for awards shows" She says "There isn't a dress shop in town I haven't been in. I know what to look for. When buyingcheap , buy simple. No intricate beading or cutting. Find a line that works for you. Gap jeans fit me perfectly. On the other hand , even if they're from Chanel or de la Renta , I think lace dresses look a bit tacky."

Jane may not spend big bucks on clothes , but she'll splurge on pampering products. "I go overboard buying creams , bath salts , things to make me feel special." She confides "I ahve every face cream under the sun." Incredibly she does her own makeup for privite and public appearences , having learned the tricks of the trade from her days as a model. And she keeps her skin clear by sipping soups and water. "At night I put Remede Eye Repair Balm on my lips to keep them soft because eye cream is finer than any moisturizer," she says.

Jane feels her long , slim legs are her best feature but she's self conscious about her feet. "Since I was a dancer , I ahve gnarly old toes" she confides. Maybe that's why her big extravagance is shoes. She owns dozens and dozens of pairs.
