Gowns worn by stars including Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez are up for auction on eBay to raise money for coronavirus relief efforts.

Hollywood stylist and former New York Times fashion editor, Elizabeth Stewart, has teamed up with the online marketplace to establish Chic Relief, a fashion sale supporting the Direct Relief campaign distributing protective equipment to frontline workers fighting Covid-19.

Among the items, fans can bid on are a black fishtail Azzi & Osta dress Beyonce wore to the 2018 pre-Grammy Awards gala, as well as the beaded Mirco Giovannini look she sports in her 1+1 music video.

A pink Georges Chakra Couture gown worn by Jennifer to the 2018 American Music Awards is also available, as is a Yousef Al-jasmi catsuit Cardi B has worn on stage.

In an Instagram post announcing the new charitable venture, Elizabeth writes: “Many of us in the fashion industry feel helpless right now, so we got together to raise money for COVID Relief.

Bidding on some items starts as low as $300, with the auction closing on May 27, 2020, and eBay promising to match each dollar raised up to $1 million.
