The UNICEF ambassador has decided to donate the Catherine Dean chiffon gray halter dress she wore in the single's music video to help raise fund to help disadvantaged children in need worldwide.

A private concert apparently isn't the only option Selena Gomez has taken to support a good cause. The 18-year-old songstress has decided to auction off the Catherine Dean chiffon gray halter gown she wore in the music video for her single "A Year Without Rain" in raising money for UNICEF's mission to help disadvantaged children in need across the world.

On the reason why she chose to donate the dress, the Alex Russo of "Wizards of Waverly Place" labeled the dress "beautiful". She further explained to People magazine, "It was obviously a very important part of the video - we wanted it to be vey beautiful and very flowy and I got so many great comments on it so I thought it would be awesome to give it to charity."

Fans can participate in the charity auction by placing their bidding for the stunning dress on Charitybuzz. As of the time of writing, the bid has got to $2,100.00. The auction will run until Wednesday midnight on November 10.

Back in early October, Selena has announced through her Facebook page she will hold a private concert on Tuesday, October 26 at The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF campaign. She also offers a fan and five lucky friends to bid on the chance to see and meet her during her first-ever acoustic gig.

In another news, the star of "Ramona and Beezus" has revealed that she was once mistaken for fellow Disney songstress "Demi Lovato. When asked about her experience on the matter, she told OK! magazine as cited in Popstar, "When a parent said she was a really big fan of [my work] in the movie Camp Rock."
