Your support makes all the difference.Topshop is to auction the red carpet dresses worn by Kendall Jenner, Toni Garrn, Jourdan Dunn, Chanel Iman and Zoe Kravitz to the 2014 Met Ball Gala.
The five dresses were created specifically for the Met Ball Gala earlier this year, which was a celebration of British couturier Charles James.
The one-of-a-kind designs were hand sewn, created especially for each of the models.
Jenner's gown was the most traditional of all the dresses in a light rose, blush colour with a fish-tale shape. Dunn wore a silk garbadine dress in an eye popping yellow shade with a train detail.
For Garrn's it was a fairytale inspired pastel blue silk fitted dress with fold detail at the bust. Iman channelled old school Hollywood glamour in a light silver design with backless detailing and floor sweeping train.
Finally Kravitz's, the most revealing of all the looks came in an oxblood hue with plunging neckline and thigh-length split.
The dresses will go up for sale on auction website eBay on 27 November, where they will be open to bids for 10 days.
All proceeds from the sale of the one-off gowns will go the charity Fashion Targets Breast Cancer.
