Wear the stars’ gowns via Clothes Off Our Back
Blogged under Apparel, Celebrity Style, Collectibles, Current Sales and Offers by Cyndi Hughes on Monday 6 October 2008

 

If you’re so star-struck you would pay good money to wear a piece of celebrity clothing (or if you’re just a sucker for a good cause), look no farther than Clothes Off Our Backs. Husband-and-wife actors Jane Kaczmarek (Malcolm in the Middle, Raising the Bar) and Bradley Whitford (The West Wing, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip), founded the nonprofit in 2002, and it hosts charity auctions of celebrity attire, raising nearly $3 million for children’s charities.

Current auctions for clothing, accessories, and memorabilia from the 60th Primetime Emmy Awards runs through Oct. 21 and will benefit Feeding America, The Art of Elysium, H.E.L.P. Malawi and Hope North. Among the items on the block:

1. E!’s Kristin Dos Santos’ Hugo Boss Black Collection Gown (size 6; above left, $1,000 opening bid)

2. Dancing With the Stars’ Julianne Hough’s BCBG Max Azria Gown (size 0; above center, $1,000 opening bid)

3. How I Met Your Mother’s Neil Patrick Harris’ Paul Smith tie (left, $75 opening bid)

4. Lost’s Jorge Garcia’s Lex Diamond watch ($500 opening bid) and sunglasses ($100 opening bid).

5. Cristophe Salon’s make-over copying the hair style of a character from the Emmy-winning show Mad Men ($500 opening bid)

6. Platinum Guild International’s Emmy Suite gift bag, including an iPod Nano, an Aldo handbag, Dr. Tattoo Off Laser Removal Gift Card, Frederick’s of Hollywood Lingerie, and more (retail value $1,300; $500 opening bid)

 

There are other auctions, too:

From the Teen Choice Awards: Scarlett Johansson’s peach Matthew Williamson dress ($200 opening bid, above right)

From the BAFTA/LA Cunard Brittania Awards: Helen Mirren’s pearl silk Tadashi Shoji gown (size 2, above right; $500 opening bid)

Little Black Dress auctions with dresses from Tina Fey, Kim Cattrall (above right), Jaime Pressly, Lisa Kudrow and others,  along with autographed bottles of Little Black Dress wine

Best of all, you can check in with Clothes Off Our Back after all of the major award shows for more celebrity goodies for your wardrobe.

If, by chance, you are a size 2 - or 0 - like some of the stars, this is your lucky day!
