Singer auctions off bra

A bra belonging for Shakira has been sold for $3,000 (£1,500).

The singer, who once sang “lucky that my breasts are small and humble”, put the underwear up for sale for her children’s charity the Bare Feet Foundation, BBC News reports.

The intimate garment, was part of an auction staged by the singer to raise money to build a school for poor children in Columbia, her native country.
