Kate
Winslet Sells Dress for $40,000 2/18/08
A dress designed for Hollywood actress Kate Winslet has been sold at an
auction for $40,000.
The Titanic star sold the Vivienne Westwood creation to raise funds for
Cardboard Citizens, a homeless people's theatre company.
The 32-year-old - who is ambassador for the charity - wore the red
dress at a benefit, before auctioning the outfit at the end of the night.
She says, "Vivienne Westwood created the dress especially for me
for this occasion and it is a really beautiful piece.
"I hope the winning bidder enjoys wearing it as much as I
did."
