Keira's dress is a success!
 Keira Knightley's Oscar dress (see pic) has raised £4,301 on eBay for Oxfam's East African food crisis appeal - enough to feed 5,000 children for a month in Tanzania. The auction attracted a total of 49 bids, with a flurry of bidding in the final seconds. Keira thought it was brilliant that her dress raised so much money: "I know it will go a long way to help the people facing this food crisis in East Africa."
The winner, an anonymous bidder from Chicago in the US, said: "I bought the dress to prove to my wife that she has a figure as lovely as Miss Knightley's! I am very pleased to have won the auction, and am even happier to support Oxfam's East African food crisis appeal. I'm hopeful that this auction has drawn some much needed additional attention to the crisis. It is quite likely that I will re-auction the dress at some point in the near future, with 100 per cent of the proceeds once again donated to the relief efforts."
So if you missed out this time, keep your eyes peeled!
