NEW YORK – January 24, 2008 – Movie Star, Inc. (AMEX: MSI) (“Movie Star”) announced that its shareholders approved all proposals presented at its special shareholders meeting held on January 23, 2008, including the approval of the issuance of 39,370,436 shares of Movie Star common stock in connection with the merger, the rights offering and other transactions contemplated by the merger agreement with FOH Holdings, Inc., the parent and sole stockholder of Frederick’s of Hollywood, Inc.

The merger, rights offering and other transactions, which are subject to customary closing conditions, are expected to close on or about January 28, 2008. At the special meeting, Movie Star shareholders also approved several proposals related to the merger transaction, including amendments to Movie Star’s charter to increase the authorized shares of common stock to 200,000,000, to authorize the issuance of up to 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, to effect a reverse stock split of Movie Star common stock and to change the name of Movie Star to “Frederick’s of Hollywood Group Inc.” following the closing of the merger. Following the special meeting of shareholders, the Movie Star board of directors approved a 1 for 2 reverse stock split of Movie Star’s issued and outstanding common stock to be effected, if necessary, to satisfy the minimum bid price requirement of $2.00 per share for continued listing on the American Stock Exchange. Movie Star anticipates that the reverse stock split will be effective immediately prior to the closing of the merger on January 28, 2008 and that the common stock will trade on a post-merger, post-split basis commencing on January 29, 2008.
