Nevada (US), Nov6 (ANI): Madonna’s one pair of designer shoes reportedly fetched about 16,600 dollars for Roma children at a Romania charity auction.
Madonna donated one of her favorite specially made pair of autographed designer skyscraper gold heels Christian Dior shoes to a charity supporting education of Roma children, which was auctioned off at the fifth annual Ovidiu Rom Halloween Charity Ball held in Bucharest (Romania).
One of the golden heels was reportedly marked with kisses and a heart by her while the other was autographed “Love Madonna”. Oscar nominated Hollywood star Ethan Hawke (Training Day) reportedly spoke at the Ball.
A gold chain donated by Oscar winner actress Vanessa Redgrave (Mary, Queen of Scots) was auctioned off at about 8, 300 dollars. Money thus collected will be used to buy clothes and schoolbooks for Roma children, according to reports. (ANI)
