Bracco Ends A Vanishing Act
By Richard Johnson & Paula Froelich & Chris Wilson

December 24, 2001 - - Lorraine Bracco has sticky fingers. Last month, Bracco and her "Sopranos" castmates were photographed for a spread in a major fashion magazine.
The stylist dressed her in a $5,000 "Celine by Michael Kors" dress. But when it came time to pack up, Bracco's frock couldn't be found anywhere.
Lorraine Bracco insisted she'd handed it to an assistant, but the dress had disappeared. For two weeks the frantic stylist, magazine and designer called Bracco's people asking if she might have "accidentally" put it somewhere, but she continued to deny it.
Then one night Bracco showed up to an event wearing the dress.
Realizing she'd been photographed, she called Kors' people the next morning, saying she had "borrowed" it after all and wanted to send it back.
"It was so tacky," says our insider. "I'm sure she wouldn't have given it back if she hadn't got caught."
"Lorraine continues to have a wonderful relationship with Michael Kors," says Bracco's rep. "The dress was borrowed and promptly returned."
Kors' rep did not return calls.
