If you've ever dreamt of owning your favourite celebrity's wardrobe, now's the chance. A host of personalities and influencers, from Thandie Newton to Rachel Weisz, Pernille Teisbaek to Camille Charriere have put items of their clothing up for sale, and it's all for a good cause.

Vestiaire Collective, the pre-owned fashion platform, is hosting the charity sale in order to support the fight against COVID-19.

The initiative will raise funds to support local hospitals and scientific research working to combat the virus.

The collective community charity sale offers pieces donated from inspiring profiles including a faux fur leopard print jacket donated by Kate Moss, a Louis Vuitton silk blouse donated by Rachel Weisz, designer heels donated by Thandie Newton, a Jenny Packham dress donated by Charlotte Tilbury and a vintage blouse by Clare Waight Keller.

Penny Goldstone is the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire, covering everything from catwalk trends to royal fashion and the latest high street and Instagram must-haves.

Penny grew up in France and studied languages and law at the Sorbonne Nouvelle University in Paris before moving to the UK for her MA in multimedia journalism at Bournemouth University. She moved to the UK permanently and has never looked back (though she does go back regularly to stock up on cheese and wine).

Although she's always loved fashion - she used to create scrapbooks of her favourite trends and looks, including Sienna Miller and Kate Moss' boho phase - her first job was at MoneySavingExpert.com, sourcing the best deals for everything from restaurants to designer sales.

However she quit after two years to follow her true passion, fashion journalism, and after many years of internships and freelance stints at magazines including Red, Cosmopolitan, Stylist and Good Housekeeping, landed her dream job as the Digital Fashion Editor at Marie Claire UK.

Her favourite part of the job is discovering new brands and meeting designers, and travelling the world to attend events and fashion shows. Seeing her first Chanel runway IRL at Paris Fashion Week was a true pinch-me moment.
