Caring actress Carey Mulligan has donated her designer BAFTA’s gown to Oxfam… Mulligan wore the head-turning dress as she collected her best actress prize at the Baftas in February for her lead role in An Education.
The black and white dress, made especially for the Oscar-nominated teenage star by French label Vionnet, has now been donated to Oxfam.
"I'm honored to be able to donate my Bafta dress to support Oxfam's work helping women living in extreme poverty across the world," Mulligan said.
Other stars that have raided their wardrobes for the charity include Elle Macpherson and Alexa Chung!
The Vionnet dress will have a starting bid of £50 and will be auctioned alongside the other celeb items from 10am onwards on Thursday 13th May at www.oxfam.org.uk/curiosityshop. >
If you want to catch a glimpse of these outfits in the flesh, they will be on display in Selfridge’s department store at a pop-up Oxfam store open for a week; staffed by high-profile figures such as Annie Lennox!
Thousands of vintage, high-end and celebrity-donated items, will be sold at the shop located in the 'Ultralounge' area of the store. It’s well worth a look if you can get down there!
