Kate Moss will wear the dress that bagged her Johnny Depp for the red carpet at Swarovski Fashion Rocks after keeping it under her bed for over 10 years.

The supermodel will wear a specially created version of the vintage dress that she wore the night she met and fell in love with the movie star.

Kate has kept the original vintage 20s flapper dress in a box under her bed since meeting Johnny in New York in February 1994, shortly after he hit the big time in Edward Scissorhands.

The new version is almost identical and has been hand embroidered with 60,000 Swarovski precision-cut crystal glass pieces for the Fashion Rocks event on Thursday.

Immediately after the Royal Albert Hall extravaganza, the dress will be displayed and auctioned at the Central London flagship store of Topshop, for whom Kate is a designer.

There will also be 500 limited edition copies on sale for £250.

The new dress was designed after Swarovski approached Topshop and the model in June to come up with an idea for fashion's charity gala, which takes place every two years.

A source said: 'This dress was obviously very close to Kate's heart. Topshop were struggling for a good idea and she just said, “I've got the perfect dress at home”.

"She has kept it in a display box under her bed for years. The original is an eau de nil (pale green) dress and very, very delicate."

Topshop boss Sir Philip Green said: "The dress is made and Kate tried it on yesterday. I saw it on her. It's sensational. She loves it."
