It would not have seemed out of the realm of possibility to many teachers, who as of May 2019 had a median annual income of $59,670 (per the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics), with the lowest 10% making only $39,020, that Witherspoon, whose most recent pay rate was reported to be $2 million an episode for "The Morning Show" on Apple TV, was giving everyone who applied a dress.

Gwyneth Paltrow announced she is donating an old gown she wore to the Oscars to help provide coronavirus relief.

The actress' act of kindness is a part of the All-In charity challenge spearheaded by Leonardo DiCaprio that allows contestants a chance to win once-in-a-lifetime fan experiences by celebrities.

The gown Paltrow decided to auction off is a hand-beaded silver Calvin Klein dress she wore to the 2000 Oscars. The Goop founder explained she believed it was a "good one to donate" because its "end of the 90s" style has since made a comeback in the fashion industry. However, her recent comments contradict ones she made years earlier where she suggested the designer frock wasn't very special, and in fact, quite boring.

Fans immediately blasted the star in the comments section of her Instagram announcement to remind her that she once listed the same dress on a list of her best and worst Oscars looks. In her own words, Paltrow formerly labeled the gown just "okay."

"The first is the Calvin Klein. It's an okay dress but not Oscars material. I chose it because I wanted to disappear that year," the actress said.

"Bid on a dress. Are you joking. Just help people. I can not applaud you," one fan chastised the star in her Instagram comments. "My uncle has started a covid challenge to GIVE to people in need. And you are talking about auctioning an old Calvin dress right now. Wake up!!"

"The dress you said was one of your worst, wasn't Oscars worthy, and that you wore because you want to disappear that year?" questioned another.

"Mmmmm she said in an interview that this one and a McQueen dress were her worst dresses," another echoed.

Some fans felt the Goop founder could have chosen an item that would be more impactful.

"Donate money not a dress you 'can't' wear anymore," one user wrote.

"That's a start," another follower criticized.

Although some of her fans seemed to turn a blind eye to her former criticism of the fashion item, calling it a "perfect" choice.

"Lovely generous donation," one follower added.

Another said it was "so nice" of the actress to give away something sentimental to help people.

"I want it," said another.

Paltrow followed in the footsteps of other celebrities who have donated to the challenge. Ellen DeGeneres took it upon herself to donate $1 million to the cause. Meanwhile, actor Matthew McConaughey announced his donation would allow fans to enter to win a chance to join him at a University of Austin football game.

All the proceeds will be divided among Meals on Wheels, No Kid Hungry, The World Central Kitchen and America's Food Fund.

Final Fantasy VII Remake Dresses: how to get every bridal dress for Tifa, Cloud, and Aerith - RPG Site

Posted: 18 Apr 2020 06:53 AM PDT

Situated near the very middle of Final Fantasy VII Remake is the Wall Market area of Midgar, which takes place during the aptly named Chapter 9: The Town That Never Sleeps. Wall Market is a memorable throwback to the original, where bright neon lights and the ability to play dress-up come before fighting baddies and leveling up materia, and the same is true in the remake -- though admittedly you'll have to do some more fighting here this time.

Just as in the original the Wall Market section of FF7 Remake features a variety of dresses each character can acquire - three each for Cloud, Tifa and Aerith. Each of the three has a unique way their outfit for the bridal ceremony is decided - and there's a trophy in it if you see them all. This guide obviously contains visual spoilers for the dresses you can acquire for each character, and light story spoilers for Wall Market side quests.

A big part of Wall Market culminates in our three heroes lining up for Don Corneo in their respective dresses. Tifa, Aerith, and Cloud all have 3 possible outfits giving 9 total dresses, and seeing all 9 will result in earning the trophy Dressed to the Nines. All three characters have slightly different requirements for obtaining their respective gowns, so we've listed them below so that you can easily grab them all for the trophy.

One important thing to note: Chapter 9 has two sets of quests, depending on the choices you make early in the chapter. While these quests will not affect Tifa or Aerith's dress, they will partially determine what dress Cloud gets. We will keep out most up to date details in his section of the guide.

How to Choose Tifa's Dress: The Alone At Last Discovery

Tifa's dress is by far the easiest to determine, though it will require a few chapter playthroughs of both Chapter 3 and Chapter 9 to see them all. After completing all six quests in Chapter 3, you'll get an invitation to Tifa's apartment during the Discovery event: Alone at Last. At the end of this event you'll be able to choose her eventual dress from a simple dialogue choice:

  • If you choose "Something Exotic?", you'll end up with a black dress robe (Left).
  • "Something...sporty?" will give you the patterned cheongsam type dress (Center).
  • Lastly, "Something Mature." will give you the blue dress as shown in trailers (Right).

You'll be able to verify the dress you obtained as soon as you first spot Tifa in the chocobo carriage after leaving the Collapsed Expressway.

How to Choose Aerith's Dress for the Dressed to the Nines Trophy

Very similar to Tifa's dress, Aerith's dress will depend on what you do during your chapter alone with her, which in this case is Chapter 8. This time however, your dress is not determined by a dialogue choice, but simply How Many Quests You Complete

  • While we don't know the exact cutoffs, you can earn the simple pink spring dress (Left) by completing zero quests in Chapter 8.
  • If you complete 3 (or so) quests in Chapter 8, you'll get the longer pink dress (Center).
  • Finally, if you complete all of the possible quests in Chapter 8, you'll get the elaborate red dress (Right) as shown in trailers.

You'll be able to know which dress you've obtained based on Madam M's comments about how helpful Cloud was to the people of Sector 5.

We've got even more to our Final Fantasy VII Remake guide and walkthrough if you need it. Check out our guides on how to get all the limit breaks, our full weapon list, summons guide, music disc locations, enemy skills and, while you're ruining Don Corneo's day, how to unlock those red dragon doors

How to get all 3 Cloud's Dress Outfit options

Cloud's dress is determined in a manner similar to Aerith's but with a twist. Your result of dress is determined by completing quests, but this time in Chapter 9 itself. The tricky thing is: Chapter 9 has two different pairs of quests that you may undertake -- you'll either end up doing errands for Chocobo Sam, or for Madam M shortly after taking on Hell House in the Corneo Colosseum. 

As we stated in our Side Quest guide page, we believe that several factors are at play for determining which pair of quests you get in Chapter 9, including whether you interact with Johnny, your choice of Massage Course, and your comment on Aerith's dress:

To the best of our knowledge, to get Sam's two quests 'The Party Never Stops' and 'A Dynamite Body':

  • Make sure to witness Johnny's Discovery Event 'Vagabond Johnny' when you pass by him early in the chapter, and you should say "Yeah" when you speak to him.
  • Choose to gamble when prompted by Sam by calling 'Heads' or 'Tails' before the coin flip
  • Pay for the 500 gil 'Poor Man's Course' massage treatment for Madam M's massage course.
  • Tell Aerith that about her dress 'It's alright.'

To the best of our knowledge, to get Madam M's two quests 'The Price of Thievery' and 'Shear's Counterattack':

  • Make sure to ignore Johnny's Discovery Event 'Vagabond Johnny' when you pass by him early in the chapter, or at least select "No" if you speak to him.
  • Choose NOT to gamble when prompted by Sam by choosing 'No deal."
  • Pay for the 3000 gil 'Luxury Course' massage treatment for Madam M's massage course.
  • Say 'It matter what I think?' when asked about Aerith's dress.

Now that you know how to get each version of Chapter 9's available quests, here's how you turn that into Cloud's dress options:

  • Chocobo Sam's two quests are 'The Party Never Stops' and 'A Dynamite Body'. Right now we believe that if you complete these two quests for Sam, you'll end up with the blue and black dress for Cloud (Left).
  • If you instead do Madam M's two quests 'The Price of Thievery' and 'Shear's Counterattack', you'll get the white dress (Center). To be careful, we always completed 'Burning Thighs' as well in either case. 
  • If you do not finish all quests in Chapter 9, you'll seemingly end up with the black dress (Right). In our case, we were able to skip either Madam M's or Sam's two quests and get the basic black dress for Cloud in both instances.

The Party Never Stops: Wall Market and the Don Corneo quest in FF7 Remake

If you manage to get Sam's two quests to trigger, one of the two will be very nostalgic for players of Final Fantasy VII. While the early part of Wall Market is fairly straightforward, you'll eventually get the opportunity to run around town doing a few errands that should be very reminiscent from the original game during the quest The Party Never Stops. You'll get a chance to undertake this quest and others while Madam M. is setting up Aerith with her new dress. This quest is a bit unlike the others, since what you can accomplish and earn depends slightly on what level some of your materia is at. While none of the outcomes are really super significant in the long run, we've listed here what you can all get if you've leveled your materia high enough during each individual section of the quest.

After following Johnny to the clothing store and materia shop, you'll eventually find yourself at the vending machine inside of Wall Market's regular inn. Your goal here is to find 'The Sauce' for the materia shop owner, and your chance of success depends on how thoroughly you've been using the Assess materia up to this point. On our first runthrough of the quest, we were able to get Vitalabrew, Crimson Spike, and The Sauce with about 30 enemies properly Assessed. Your reward for getting all of the possible items is a simple Moogle Medal.

Your next stop will be at the counter-service restaurant near the heart of town. Again you'll have different outcomes depending on the level of your Fire, Ice, or Lightning materia, and you'll be able to choose a suggestion based on which one happens to be the highest level. Again, if you pick one with a Level 3 materia (such as "Stove" if your Fire materia is level 3), you'll earn another Moogle Medal.

The last part of the quest will depend on the level of your Cleansing materia. If you happen to have a Level 3 Cleansing, you'll earn some key items all throwbacks to the original game: Bottle of Antiemetic, Deodorizing Tablets, and Packets of Antacid. If your materia is a lower level, you'll only earn the first one or two items from the pharmacist. Your goal is to go around town with the medicine, and return once you've delivered at least one.

  • Give the Bottle of Antiemetic to the guy in the bar bathroom (the same restaurant where someone is singing on stage) and get rewarded with a Sedative item.
  • Give the Deodorizing Tablets to a guy at the south end of an alley south of Honeybee Inn, near where you can find a Barrier Materia, for a Celeris item.
  • Give the Packets of Antacid to a guy at the south end of an alley south of the massage parlor for 3x Big Bomber items. Not sure why he has those on hand, but they're yours now.

Once you get the VIP Card key item from the pharmacist, you'll just have to follow a few more quest markers to eventually get a Turbo Ether for finishing the quest and enjoying a nice nostalgic revisiting of some of the events from Final Fantasy VII.

At this point you return to Madam M after finishing up remaining quests, and after a few cutscenes and heading to Corneo's mansion, you'll be able to see which dress you've obtained for Aerith. Following a dance sequence at the Honeybee Inn, you'll get your final dress for Cloud.
