Gwyneth Paltrow is auctioning off her 2000 Oscars dress to help provide food for people in need during the coronavirus pandemic.
But it seems like she won’t be sad to see the back of it – she once dissed the dress for not being “Oscars material”.
In a 2013 post to Goop in which Gwyneth rated her best and worst Oscar looks, the star ranked it as one of her worst.
“It’s an okay dress but not Oscars material. I chose it because I wanted to disappear that year,” the actress said.
In a video posted to Instagram, Paltrow explained why she was donating the hand-beaded silver Calvin Klein gown.
“It’s very end of the 90s, which is back in style now so I thought it would be a good one to donate,” she said.

Paltrow is donating the dress as part of the All In charity challenge in which celebrities are offering people the chance to bid on once-in-a-lifetime experiences.
Leonardo DiCaprio has been leading the charge with challenging fellow celebrities to donate experiences or items. The actor is offering fans the chance to win a walk-on role in the next film he makes with Martin Scorsese.
The proceeds from the All In Challenge will be donated to Meals on Wheels, No Kid Hungry, The World Central Kitchen and America’s Food Fund.
So far, the challenge has raised more than $US10 million.
