Keira Knightley’s Oscar gown generates huge bidding on eBay
Keira Knightley’s donated Oscar gown, which the charity Oxfam had been auctioning off on eBay since April 21st, sold for more than C$8,700 on Monday (May 1) when the bidding was extended due to the positive response.
The one-shoulder, deep-claret taffeta gown was custom-made for the ‘Pride & Prejudice’ star (who was up for the Best Actress Academy Award) by Vera Wang.
“We had no idea how much interest there would be and so we are very pleased,” said a spokesperson for Oxfam. “People should be aware that £4,000 [approximately C$8,000] would be enough money to feed 5,000 children in Tanzania, who are facing the worst food crisis they have known, for a whole month.”
