Gwyneth Paltrow further added that "In order to help the cause, I am going to auction off my year 2000 Oscar dress. It is very into the 90s which is back in style now so I thought it would be a good one to donate”. Gwyneth Paltrow's Oscars gown is a silver-coloured hand-beaded mesh dress with a deep neck detailing. The actor, in her caption, mentioned all the food banks providing food during the coronavirus outbreak and said that she is making an effort to focus on these banks providing food assistance and therefore making a donation for the same. She said, “I am donating a dress I wore to the Oscars (and that holds great sentimental value!) which I will personally hand to you over a cup of tea or a glass of wine. Go to allinchallenge.com to bid as 100% of funds will go to help Americans currently experiencing food insecurity. I love you @garyvee for being part of this.” Paltrow further nominated Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lake Bell for the charity challenge.
