Kate Moss has been spotted in a fairly unexpected place: Aldi in Manchester.

The superstar has arrived in the city to attend a glitzy Chanel fashion show on Thursday night, with other A-listers including Kristen Stewart expected to attend.

Previously held in the likes of Paris and Milan, the Metiers d’Art will showcase some of the most exciting new looks in the fashion world on Thomas Street in Manchester’s city centre.

And celebs have been spotted taking in the city ahead of the major event, with supermodel Kate spotted in bargain supermarket Aldi of all places.

Local woman Anne Ryan told the Manchester Evening News she spotted the star in the shop and ‘did wonder why someone was wearing shades on a wintry day.’

We’re all dying to know what Kate picked up in Aldi but tragically Anne didn’t get a look in her basket.

She did, however, say Kate ‘had a chat at the check-out’ and described her ‘minder’ as ‘very polite.’

‘There was a group of photographers outside and a couple of girls filming on their phones. She did seem a bit over-dressed for a trip to the supermarket.’

Kate continued her exploration of Manchester with a trip to a coffee shop, where she was snapped looking relaxed sitting outside while her security guard kept a watchful eye on the street.

In a photo, she is seen sipping a drink, with a bright red Aldi bag on the seat next to her.

Fans of the star absolutely love that Kate was shopping in Aldi, with her bright red bag now the talk of the town, and jokes already being made about what she bought.

One Twitter user suggested she could have picked up a Cuthbert the Caterpillar cake, while local account I Love Manchester wondered ‘if she’s a sucker for those special buys like the rest of us.’

‘I love this chanel thing,’ Twitter user Ciara wrote. ‘Kate moss in ancoats aldi? life changing (sic).’

Chanel said in a statement that they chose Manchester for the major event as it is ‘one of the most effervescent cities of pop culture and an avant-garde one, whose bands, spanning all genres, have changed the history of music.’

Thomas street has been closed for two weeks to prepare for the fashion show, which will see the street essentially turned into massive open-air catwalk.

But because it’s England, and it’s December, the organisers haven’t risked getting rained on, and a glass cover has been erected over the street.
