Downton Abbey star Michelle Dockery is selling the eye-catching gown she wore to last year’s Emmy Awards to help victims of the Syria civil war.
Christie’s auction house says the Prada dress, featuring a red halter-style top and burgundy skirt, will go under the hammer in London on June 20. Proceeds will go to humanitarian organisation Oxfam.
The gown is expected to fetch between $5,000 and $8,400 (Dh18,350 to Dh30,828).
The actress, who plays Lady Mary in the costume drama, visited a Syrian refugee camp in Jordan last year. She said she hoped the buyer “will get as much pleasure from it as I did when I wore it to the Emmy awards and that we can raise as much money as possible to support the Syrian people”.
