ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

         On December 6, 2004, the board of directors of Movie Star, Inc.
("Company") adopted a Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan, effective January
1, 2005.

         The Non-Employee Director Compensation Plan applies solely to
non-employee directors of the Company. Each non-employee director will receive
(i) an annual stipend of $20,000, payable quarterly in arrears, (ii) $2,000 per
day for board or committee meetings attended in person, regardless of the number
of meetings held that day and (iii) $1,000 per meeting for board or committee
meetings attended telephonically, unless two or more teleconference call
meetings are held back-to-back on the same call, in which case each non-employee
director will receive $1,000 for the entire call. Payment of the annual stipend
and meeting fees will be made, at the election of each non-employee director, by
January 10th of each calendar year, in cash and/or shares of the Company's
common stock under the Company's 2000 Performance Equity Plan in such proportion
as is determined by each non-employee director. If a non-employee director
elects to be paid in stock, either in full or in part, the number of shares of
common stock to be issued will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of
the stipend and meeting fees earned during the quarter (or a percentage thereof,
if the non-employee director elects to receive stock payment in part) by the
last sale price of the Company's common stock on the last trading day of each
calendar quarter in which the fees were earned.

         The Company will pay or reimburse each non-employee director for all
transportation, hotel and other expenses reasonably incurred by the non-employee
director in connection with attendance at board and committee meetings against
itemized reports and receipts submitted with respect to any such expenses and
approved in accordance with the Company's customary procedures.

         On December 6, 2004, each non-employee director of the Company received
a one-time grant of non-qualified options to purchase 12,000 shares of the
Company's common stock under the Company's 2000 Performance Equity Plan, at an
exercise price of $1.36 per share, exercisable immediately and until the close
of business on December 5, 2014. The non-employee directors of the Company are
Peter Cole, John Eisel, Michael Salberg and Joel Simon.
