All tag results for 'oxfam'

Carey Mulligan's custom Prada dress worn to this year's Met Gala has a new closet to call home!

After receiving 35 bids, the dress sold at auction on Saturday for $2950, which is a steal considering it's a custom design worn by a celebrity.

As we mentioned before, the proceeds from Carey's frock will benefit Oxfam, the international relief and development organization.

Congrats to the lucky winner!

Who needs an Easter egg hunt when there's this!?

Helen Mirren is teaming up with Oxfam to launch the Big Bra Hunt to round up a million of unwanted and/or unused bras so they can be sold in West Africa — where bras are hard to come by and the money raised will make a real difference in poor communities.

The Oscar award winning actress was beyond excited to get involved with the cause, saying:

"Before I heard about this campaign I had never thought to donate my bras to Oxfam. I'm sure many women have a number of bras stowed away left untouched for years. The Big Bra Hunt really highlights how every last item donated to Oxfam can be used in a truly unique way, making a real difference to people all around the world."

Right you are, Helen because according to Oxfam the average British woman has at least 3 unused bras in their drawers.

We're not sure we have any spare bras laying around, but since Kate Moss never wears any, maybe she can donate hers?!!
