LONDON, England -- Bras belonging to some of the most glamorous women in the world are going under the hammer at a charity auction.

Australian pop princess Kylie Minogue is just one of many stars to have donated their sexiest bras, complete with signatures, to Tuesday's auction in London.

The event is being organised by the charity Breast Cancer Care, which hopes to raise cash and awareness of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Kylie donated a skimpy black mesh bra with pink straps while fellow Aussie singer/actress Holly Valance and supermodel Elle Macpherson are also offering their underwear for sale, the Press Association reports.

Former Bond girl Ursula Andress donated a white bikini top identical to the one she famously wore in Dr. No.

Also the blue and white striped number worn by model Nell McAndrew that set viewer's pulses racing on British TV's "I'm a Celebrity: Get Me Out of Here!" will be up for sale.

Nina Kapur, from Warner Village Cinemas who is hosting the event, said: "We have never done anything like this before and we are hoping to raise a few thousand pounds for Breast Cancer Care.

"The money will be used to fund the charity's free helpline, which receives over 16,000 calls a year from breast cancer sufferers," she told PA.
