UPDATE: 

Going once, going twice, sold! Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s eBay auction only had one bid, but an anonymous buyer purchased it for $40,000 AUD — which converts to approximately $27,400 USD.

UPDATE: 

On Thursday, January 9, the star’s Ralph & Russo suit worn to the 2020 Golden Globes went up for auction on eBay for a minimum bid of $77,000.00 AUD ($53,024 USD). Interested buyers will be able to place a bid until January 20.

The commerce platform states, “After careful consideration, Phoebe Waller-Bridge has decided to equally split the winning bid between her three chosen charities; the Australian Red Cross Disaster Relief & Recovery Fund, which will help Red Cross emergency teams continue to be there in the wake of these devastating fires and WIRES Wildlife Rescue Emergency Fund and Wildlife Victoria who are both on the ground assisting in the rehabilitation and recovery of thousands of Aussie wildlife.”
