Mimi will be auctioning off a rare hot pink, fishtailed asymmetric dress on eBay to raise money for breast cancer charity Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
The frock was created by Julian Contreras as part of a competition where Mimi asked fans to design a dress inspired by her Luscious Pink fragrance.
Over 4,000 dress designs were submitted, but Mariah and a panel of fashion experts only chose one. It is one of only three in existence, so it's definitely worth the big bucks!
Mariah was last seen wearing the dress on a dinner date with husband Nick Cannon in Los Angeles in April. The close-fitting dress will be listed until May 30, click here to place a bid.
Dita, Katy Perry, Estelle, Cyndi Lauper, and rap group N.E.R.D. have all created one-of-a-kind t-shirts for the Fashion Against AIDS campaign to raise awareness.
N.E.R.D.’s tees read, “Use Your Brain,” while Estelle’s says, “Life Is Too Short. Have Sex. Be Safe.” But our favorite has to be Cyndi Lauper’s, which reads: “Girls Just Wanna Have Safe Sex.”
The shirts will go on sale at H&M on May 28th and proceeds will go to helping HIV and AIDS awareness campaigns.
