        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Gwyneth Paltrow announced she is donating an old gown she wore to the Oscars to help provide coronavirus relief.</p><p>The actress&#8217; act of kindness is a part of the All-In charity challenge spearheaded by Leonardo DiCaprio that allows contestants a chance to win once-in-a-lifetime fan experiences by celebrities.</p><p>The gown Paltrow decided to auction off is a hand-beaded silver Calvin Klein dress she wore to the 2000 Oscars. The Goop founder <strong>explained she believed</strong> it was a &#8220;good one to donate&#8221; because its &#8220;end of the 90s&#8221; style has since made a comeback in the fashion industry. However, her recent comments contradict ones she made years earlier where she suggested the designer frock <strong>wasn&#8217;t very special</strong>, and in fact, quite boring.</p><p>Fans immediately blasted the star in the comments section of her Instagram announcement to remind her that she once listed the same dress on a list of her best and worst Oscars looks. In her own words, Paltrow formerly labeled the gown just &#8220;okay.&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;The first is the Calvin Klein. It&#8217;s an okay dress but not Oscars material. I chose it because I wanted to disappear that year,&#8221; the actress said.</p><p>&#8220;Bid on a dress. Are you joking. Just help people. I can not applaud you,&#8221; one fan chastised the star in her Instagram comments. &#8220;My uncle has started a covid challenge to GIVE to people in need. And you are talking about auctioning an old Calvin dress right now. Wake up!!&#8221;</p><p>&#8220;The dress you said was one of your worst, wasn&#8217;t Oscars worthy, and that you wore because you want to disappear that year?&#8221; questioned another.</p><p>&#8220;Mmmmm she said in an interview that this one and a McQueen dress were her worst dresses,&#8221; another echoed.</p><p>Some fans felt the Goop founder could have chosen an item that would be more impactful.</p><p>&#8220;Donate money not a dress you &#8216;can&#8217;t&#8217; wear anymore,&#8221; one user wrote.</p><p>&#8220;That&#8217;s a start,&#8221; another follower criticized.</p><p>Although some of her fans seemed to turn a blind eye to her former criticism of the fashion item, calling it a &#8220;perfect&#8221; choice.</p><p>&#8220;Lovely generous donation,&#8221; one follower added.</p><p>Another said it was &#8220;so nice&#8221; of the actress to give away something sentimental to help people.</p><p>&#8220;I want it,&#8221; said another.</p><p>Paltrow followed in the footsteps of other celebrities who have donated to the challenge. Ellen DeGeneres took it upon herself to donate $1 million to the cause. Meanwhile, actor Matthew McConaughey announced his donation would allow fans to enter to win a chance to join him at a University of Texas football game.</p><p>All the proceeds will be divided among Meals on Wheels, No Kid Hungry, The World Central Kitchen and America’s Food Fund.</p>]]></content:encoded>
