30th March 2011

(Cover) - EN Star Style - Scarlett Johansson has donated one of her most treasured gowns to charity.

The 26-year-old actress is just one of many famous faces to have offered some of her favourite garments to charity organisation Oxfams latest venture.

Other celebrities including Kate Moss, Florence Welch and Laura Bailey have given pieces to The Oxfam Curiosity Shop, which is a pop-up store due to launch this Friday at London department store Selfridges.

Oxfam strives to end poverty and injustice throughout the world, and as a global representative for the brand Scarlett was delighted to be involved in the Curiosity Shops second annual run.

The Oxfam Curiosity Shop is a fantastic idea," enthused Scarlett.

"What a great way to give old clothes a new lease on life. As a global ambassador for Oxfam, I have seen how the charity's work can change people's lives. In India and Sri Lanka I've visited projects that are helping poor people find their own solutions to poverty.

So, I'm delighted to be able to donate this beautiful Dolce & Gabbana dress that I wore to last year's Drama Desk Awards in New York. This dress holds treasured memories for me because that was such a special evening. I hope somebody else enjoys wearing it as much as I did."

Money raised at the Curiosity Shop will help fund womens projects internationally. It is open until April 10. (C) Cover Media
