Costco is drawing more attention as its fashion department goes viral on social media.

The TikTok videos involve people showing trendy Costco clothes for cheap prices.

But the wholesale retail store hasn't just caught the eyes of everyday shoppers.

Costco has also attracted celebrities, CEOs, and politicians with its bargains across a range of products.

Stars including "Selling Sunset" realtor Christine Quinn, the Kardashians, and Megan Fox are fans of shopping at the warehouse chain.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and former mayor of New York City, Rudy Giuliani, have also been seen buying items from Costco.

Here are some of the products Insider saw on a trip to Costco, which celebrities have been seen purchasing in-store.

Christine Quinn, a realtor on Netflix's "Selling Sunset" series, said she shops at Costco for black leggings to save money.

Quinn told The Wall Street Journal in October that she shopped at low-cost stores for everyday clothes. By buying cheaper staple clothes, Quinn said it meant she could save up for expensive purses.

She said that she got black leggings in particular from the discount store.

"I do like Costco," Quinn told the Journal.

Insider can't confirm the leggings pictured above are the ones Quinn wears. The pair we found cost £13.99, that's around $16.50.

Mark Zuckerberg had his eyes on televisions in Costco. The majority of the ones we saw in Costco cost more than £900.

The televisions Insider found cost between £1,120 and £1,400.

Despite being pictured in designer brands on her Instagram page, Fox is no stranger to Costco.

Fox has previously been spotted leaving Costco with a shopping cart containing Kirkland products, according to Costco Blog, cited in Insider's report.

From walnuts to bars of soap, Costco's Kirkland Signature range offers a variety of products.

Kirkland also offers knock-off Ugg boots — much cheaper than the original price of real Ugg boots.

Costco's own brand, "Kirkland," shearling boots look a lot like knock-off Uggs but cost a fraction of the price. The ones we found were priced at £25.99, and shoppers can choose from an ankle-high or mid-calf version of the faux sheep-skin shoes.

Toilet paper was also in Fox's Costco cart, per the retailer's blog. The price of the 12-pack below was £25.

Costco offers a wide range of sunglasses. From designer brands such as Gucci and Balenciaga to convincing knock-offs, shoppers are spoilt for choice.

Customers can also pop in for an eye test while in the store.

Costco sells genuine Levi's jeans at just £29.99 a pair, that's around $35.

The skinny jeans come in black, light blue, stonewashed, and dark blue — Costco also stocks multiple sizes.

This Levi's puffer jacket costing £36.99 was also a bargain.

There were more discount Levi's on offer in Costco, including this bright pink cropped jacket from the brand. A similar style on Levi's website cost £180.

The jacket stocked in Costco also came in light purple and baby blue, but we thought the hot pink was a winner.

There was also a large range of branded sportswear on offer at Costco.

A pair of Fila tracksuits came to £8.99, while Nike leggings cost £21.99.
